Watch this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Willie Geist, Elise Jordan and Mike Barnicle as they talk about the theatrics in the “Trump wing of the Republican Party” as it relates to the Republican Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who scolded students for wearing masks at his news conference and later suggested France would “fold” if it was invaded by Russia. “I think we all better strap ourselves in because we’re going to see more of this in the next couple of years, and it’s play acting. People like the governor of Florida think that part of Donald Trump’s calling card…was that too many Americans thought, ‘oh, he’s a tough guy, look at the way he talks.’ So, they’re trying to mimic him now, and it’ll get worse. We know it’ll get worse,” says Barnicle about some Republican candidates attempting to mimic the “fake tough guy” former President Trump, while others like Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah) are “real tough guys.”
