Opinion | DeSantis Isn’t at Home Abroad

Murrells Inlet, S.C.

Richard Nixon was famously bored by domestic policy. “I’ve always thought the country could run itself domestically without a president,” he once told an interviewer. “All you need is a competent cabinet to run the country at home. You need a president for foreign policy.” Ron DeSantis might say the opposite. Ask him any question on domestic policy and he can offer a seminar. Foreign policy clearly bores him.
