Former President Donald Trump did not hold back when asked about the possibility of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis running for the White House in 2024.
Trump, who is the only Republican to announce a campaign, said that it would be a “great act of disloyalty” if the governor challenges him.
Trump held campaign events in New Hampshire and South Carolina on Saturday and sat down with the Associated Press for an interview afterward.
The outlet pointed out that there are a growing number of potential challengers, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
Trump commented on DeSantis specifically, taking credit for his win in Florida in 2018 by endorsing him.
“If he runs, that’s fine. I’m way up in the polls,” Trump said. “He’s going to have to do what he wants to do, but he may run. I do think it would be a great act of disloyalty because, you know, I got him in. He had no chance. His political life was over.”

DeSanitizers need to check their six -- you nearly had this manbitch as Florida governor, because DeSantis would not have closed escrow without President Trump's endorsement. Stamp that on your forehead so you see it every morning, you Ronlims. THIS CLOSE.Man busted with Andrew Gillum in hotel room with meth was gay escort"Andrew Gillum was caught in a room with more than just drugs.
The man who overdosed on crystal meth in a Florida hotel room with Gillum, a Democrat who made an unsuccessful bid for Florida governor, was an openly gay male escort with a profile on the website RentMen.com, Florida’s Local10 reported Friday.
Travis Dyson also identified himself as a “pornstar performer” who offered services including “gay massage”
Gillum has been married to wife R. Jai Gillum since 2009. Together, the couple has three children."
Shut up, cultist.
I don’t think Trump should talk to the AP anymore
I don’t think DeSantis is petty enough to be concerned about this comment, and he in fact may agree it’s true. He’s said as much before... that he will not run if Trump runs.
Why do they keep trying to pick a fight between these guys? [rhetorical... we know why]
That said, there's nothing wrong with competition.
He has never said that.
Prior to the election, he dismissed talk of running for president by saying he was focused on his governor race, a prudent move at the time as Crist would've used any presidential aspirations against him.
DeSantis is NOT going to run. I’m sorry Trump took the communist bate.
Congratulations!
You’re the first “NeverTrumper” to reply and will be pilloried by the EverTrumpers!
Rethink that the UNITED STATES deserves loyalty, more than Trump?
No way!
Yup, it’s mostly jealousy over DS taking away his thunder. That is Trump’s selfish, egotistical character. He can be fevers good, very kind, etc, but he has always exhibited this Napoleonic entitlement.
Meadows said DeSantis wouldn’t run against Trump, DeSantis never said that. Whose they? The only one picking a fight is Trp and so far DeSantis has not taken the bait.
Yep. DeSantis won a close race in a purple state in 2018 when Republicans were losing all over the place.
And he was re-elected by 19 points in a now solid red state because he's a proven and effective leader.
desantis released a statement almost 2 weeks ago instructing people not to donate any money to any organization that claims he’s running for president in 2024...
As I've told you before, it's because these organizations are not affiliated with Ron DeSantis in any way. They are using his name and likeness without authorization.
They're scammers.
Here's an article about it.
DeSantis team has a warning about 'Ron to the Rescue' PAC as 2024 speculation intensifies
When he officially announces, there will be legitimate fundraising machines in place.
he hasn’t officially announced...
you’re prematurely ejaculating...
Another keyboard tough guy? Amazing..
To DeSantis pearl clutchers on this thread.
DeSantis is free to run, and Trump is free to call him disloyal for doing that.
Re: 74 - grow up.
The entre media is trying to pit these two against each other. Haven’t you noticed?
a.) Trump did not lose in 2020 or 2022, and it is disloyal to say so. Not to mention incredibly stupit.
b.) You are disloyal and incredibly stupid for making that statement what you just made.
c.) No need to coronate a King who is already King.
#SheepNoMore
Yea, but he didn't lose in 2020.
