DeSantis says Trump is a role model for children because he keeps his promises
Source: CBS News
Ron DeSantis, the Republican running for governor in Florida, defended the idea that Donald Trump is a positive role model for children, saying in an interview with CBSN's Elaine Quijano that the president should be admired for keeping his word.
"We all have our faults and what-not," DeSantis told Quijano. But "even his worst critics would say he is someone who is determined to keep his word." He stressed he sees this as an important lesson for his own young children. "If you promise you are going to do something, keep your word," he said.
On Sunday, during a debate with opponent Democrat Andrew Gillum, DeSantis had answered a question about whether Mr. Trump is a good role model by talking about Israel and making the point that Mr. Trump had kept his promise to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"Donald Trump promised it, and he followed through with it," De Santis said during the debate. "And so to me, when you give your word, and you follow through with it as an elected official, that is the model that we're supposed to do."

(61,695 posts)I assume his vows included fidelity. I would rank those promises higher than deals on tax cuts, moving embassies, etc.

(27,815 posts)... can we assume that Mexico has coughed-up the money for the Wall?
When will that replacement to Obamacare kick-in - the one that's going to be cheaper, more efficient, and cover everyone?
Did I miss Trump producing his tax returns?

Not the best role model of civility and honesty.
