President Trump New Interview Today: "Ron (DeSantis) Could Have Been 'More Gracious' About My Endorsement, Win"
NewsNation ^ | November 8, 2022 | Markie Martin

Posted on 11/08/2022 3:23:25 PM PST by Macho MAGA Man

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday his endorsements won Ron DeSantis the Florida governor’s seat. But he said DeSantis, now seen as Trump’s primary rival for the GOP presidential nomination, could have been more gracious.

Trump spoke exclusively to NewsNation about DeSantis, midterms and election integrity. The full interview with NewsNation’s Markie Martin will air at 6 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. CT on NewsNation. Use our Channel Finder page here to learn how to watch NewsNation.

“He was not going to be able to even be a factor in the race,” Trump said, referring to the GOP gubernatorial primary. “And as soon as I endorsed him, within moments, the race was over,” Trump said. “I got him the nomination. He didn’t get it. I got it, because the minute I made that endorsement, he got it.”

Those are Trump’s words though, not the medias.

But 2024 is not his.

It could be.

A lot can happen in two years.

>>It makes Trump look petty.<<

I agree. Time for him to concentrate on more IMPORTANT matters.

It was Trump that came to the rescue and carried him over the finish line.

Ok let me be real with you https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html

Trump as a 30 point lead he is known so it is not soft...he can’t lose the nomination...all other candidates leads are just people who want to have a choice...but will come around once the comparison is done with Trump

...even if all went with them he still has a majority . FACTS...go get treated for your TDS. “He sounds like a 12 year old girl” that is how liberals talk and think...you are giving yourself away. I could never even think of such a statement it will never cross my mind.

What a big mouth. Just enough, already.

These might be Fred Trump’s moral values imparted to the lad growing up, but they sure are not Mr/Mrs. AmericanInTokyo’s mom and dad. I would like to see RDS’s response. LOL

He’s always been his own worst enemy. I voted for him twice and had planned to vote for him again….

DeSantis is a great Governor. Trump is an excellent leader and was a very good if not excellent POTUS. Governor DeSantis did not show up at the Miami Rally. Why? I don't know why. That being said this should worry you.

Trump is financially independent. DeSantis is aligning himself with a former Chicagoan, Billionaire Griffin. Can DeSantis accept hundreds of millions of dollars and still be independent from the Deep State? I hope so.

I remember March 2017 when Trump announced Obama/Hillary spied on his campaign. The world thought he was nuts. Trump ended up being right. That is why when Trump says something out of the ordinary my ears perk up and I ask why did Trump say that.

Just shot himself in the foot.

Yep. Very bad form. He seems completely oblivious to just how bad this looks for him.

Trump has an ego. Is this really news to anyone?

Message to RDS : Don’t bite the hand that fed you.

Correct. If DeSantis wants to do anything with Trump's hand, he should be kissing it.

President Trump fights the good fight, against the Demoncrats we know, and forces of darkness most people don't even know exist. Trump needs his lieutenants loyal. He didn't select Romney for SoS, even after he told him to drop to his knees, and he did!

What do you mean, what am I trying to say?

What I meant to say is:

You sensitive snowflakes are all the time talking about Trump’s ego, and DeSantis approves an ad that claims he is the direct work of God.

Now, what would all you Trump-hating snowflakes say about Trump if HE had approved that about himself.

TRUMP: Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit, and if they lose, I should not be blamed at all.

Suck on this my weak freeper friends. Cry in despair. Moan like you've never moaned before. 'How could he."

Governor DeSantis did not show up at the Miami Rally. Why? I don't know why.

Every published report, including the official list of Trump's invites to his event, have indicated that Trump did not invite DeSantis to the event, by choice of Trump. Local TV reporters in Florida hypothesized that DeSantis could call Trump's bluff, and crash the event, but ultimately reported that DeSantis had chosen to just pursue other options for the evening.

So every indication is that is exactly what happened, and that is at this point considered to be the final explanation of events. However, if you have any other source that claims that is not what happened, you should present it now, as everyone would like to know for sure, but so far 100% of the evidence indicates Trump chose not to invite DeSantis.

What’s bothering a lot of people is Trump’s antics not being helpful at a time when winning an election like this is absolutely crucial. The country is a train wreck and we desperately need to focus on defeating the people who inflicted this mess on us.

In other words, Trump’s attacks at this time are bad form and even worse timing. After all, he has the next two years to unleash all the salvos and he wants to against his party opponents.

Was it too much to expect him to give it a rest for just a couple of days leading up to this election? Some things are more important than Trump’s ego.

Actually, Trump is inadvertently making DeSantis look like the adult in the room.

He barely won with Trump’s help. W/O his help, I think he probably would have lost. The more I see of this guy, the less I trust him.

The actions of desantis expelling Fauci vs the daily kneeling of trump to every whim of Fauci. Hard to pick

That's out of line! All DeSantis worried about with Covid was how fast he could reopen Disney World.

President Trump on the other hand had to keep the country calm while developing a vacine in Warp Speed. Trump did his part, but Fauci didn't. Trump's third of the deal (distribution) worked out fine, even if Fauci's science was a little spotty. At any rate, the buck stops at the top and Mike Pence was in charge of the Covid response.
