For someone who is supposedly studying Trump's playbook, the Disney thing and this exchange here show that DeSantis just isn't a fast learner or lacks the charisma and reputation to pull this stuff off.  Trump would have said that he crushed Disney and that Mickey Mouse and their CEO came into his office with tears in their eyes and kissed his ass and begged him to show them mercy.  Then when asked about something like this torture thing he would have said it was fake news and that everyone who said it was true was going to get sued and then he'd set up a link where people could send him millions of dollars to sue them and then he'd just keep it.  He probably would have set up a funding link to fight woke Disney too and then just kept that money, to boot.

DeSantis is fighting real and difficult to win battles, meanwhile Trump just declares that he's won everything and smugly smiles and his fanbase eats it right up.  DeSantis should just stay in Florida and work on undoing their term limits for governors because Trump is the GOP candidate until he dies and even after he dies people are still going to insist he's not really dead and he's going to run for president again.

Right or wrong, DeSantis is actually trying to do stuff rather than sell a fictionalized idea of himself to voters the way Trump does.  It shows that DeSantis has actually had a job before and had to meet some modicum of standards and performance while Trump has not.
