A confident contender says bring it on.
Obviously, that's not Trump.
If your record speaks for itself as you say, why did you not win the last election you were in? You say cheating, well the cheating is going to continue. So you better persuade more people to vote for you to overcome that but instead you're hiding from the competition demanding they simply stand down. All it does is scream weakness. In addition, there's a stark contrast between your record with COVID and DeSantis'. And you know you're going to be hammered on it and rightfully so. Lock downs, closed schools, operation warp speed, paying people not to work, masks that did nothing, etc. all advocated by your administration. Trump said DeSantis was opening up too soon and it was going to kill people and was dead wrong... So yes, you have a record and where it really counts it fell wildly short...
