I think you're mostly right here. This is a dominance display. For a pop culture analogy, think Tony Soprano. When Tony came back from being shot, he (for no apparent reason) picked a fight with the most muscle-bound, alpha looking guy in the room. This was simply to prove a point - that he is still top dog.
DeSantis is the most most popular governor in the country, possibly the most popular Republican politician, next to Trump. And he is about to become supercharged after a big re-election victory next week. So this a shot to see what Desantis will do: Will he shoot back at Trump just before election day and possibly upset Trump's base? Or will he take the hit like a good little boy, because you don't swing at the boss?
