Donald Trump seems to have his eyes set on dragging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s name through the mud.
Trump made his latest unprovoked attack against the Florida governor during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday.
“Ron DeSantis got elected because of me. You remember he had nothing. He was dead. He was leaving the race,” Trump claimed. “He came over and he begged me, begged me for an endorsement. He was getting ready to drop out. I gave him an endorsement, and as soon as I gave that endorsement, in fact, I said you’re going to have a hard time.”
“He said if you endorse me, I’ll win. And there were tears coming down from his eyes,” Trump claimed. “He said if you endorse me, I’ll win. I said you know what, Ron, Ron was one of 150 people that was on television. I mean, Jim Jordan was the best, and others were great. But he was one of 150, Hugh, that was on television, and he was supporting me on the impeachment hoax number one, and a little bit on the impeachment hoax number two. And I said I don’t know Adam Putnam, so we’ll do it.”
During the sprawling interview, Trump also slammed his former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley over her potential White House run.
Trump has recently fired off a barrage of attacks against DeSantis, who is potentially considering mounting his own presidential campaign.
On Wednesday, Trump accused DeSantis of being a “RINO Globalist” as he criticized his response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The real Ron is a RINO GLOBALIST, who closed quickly down Florida and even its beaches,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Loved the Vaccines and wasted big money on ‘Testing.’ How quickly people forget!”
trump you would be a great president if you would just learn to keep your mouth shut with all your stupid remarks grow up
TRUMP needs to QUIT attacking DeSantis as my estimation of Trump is diminished when he goes after another good conservative. Let’s have some good debates but CUT OUT all the nastiness!!!
OhMr Trump no use caring on like this your not going to win anyway
Says Melissa, what does she know?
This fake fight is orchestrated by the swam dark money and Rinos. Trump will be the next president and after that will be Mr. DeSantis he is still young. Globalists like Carl Rove, Bushes, Mit and Micht, etc…etc
What the fk. Fight with the commie dumbocraps, and not each other.Dammit this is pissing me off, u are the only one’s that can bring this country, out of this nightmare,we have with this arrogant,senile,old,fake,phoney, puppet,fool, out of touch with reality.America needs to be saved sooner,than later, or we will have a hidenbiden banana republic, everyone is welcome to cross our borderless country. hell no! Get rid of cocaine,rhino, traitor,McConnell or the party is doomed.Believe it.
You are correct Sergio, this is just the drum beat of the left to try to put a wedge between the two.
The best thing that could happen for this country is Trump for POTUS and DeSantis for VPOTUS. That would give DeSantis some national experience so that he would be ready for POTUS in 2028.
President Trump: YOU NEED TO STOP ATTACKING EVERYONE OR YOU’LL LOSE. STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DID AS WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU DID. YOU WERE THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER! CONTINUE TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL DO TO GET US BACK TO ”MAGA”.
A DeSantis/Trump card would be the greatest power play in the history of the United States. There will be a lot of voters who think differently but putting aside personal feelings, this can be the most effective means in bringing the United States back to being the ultimate powerhouse we once were. Some people don’t believe this combination would be good for us, but logically it would be the most thought out strategic approach for America. Political parties should not be considered into this equation. What should be considered is what needs “fixing” and how to go about it, not whether it’s a democratic or republican but 2 people who have the United States in the best interest to the people as a whole. That is just my opinion.
Real men shed tears at times. That is a complement.
