Trump was asked about the possibility by Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty on Thursday.
In his response, Trump did not rule it out.
“Well I get along with him,” Trump said. “I was very responsible for his success, because I endorsed him and he went up like a rocketship.”

Earlier this month, Trump said that he was confident he could beat DeSantis in the Republican primary, though neither of the two have officially announced an intent to run.
Speaking to the New Yorker, Trump said “I don’t know if Ron is running, and I don’t ask him.” He added, “It’s his prerogative. I think I would win.”
DeSantis is up for reelection in the gubernatorial race this year and has maintained that he is currently only focused on that race.
A week before the New Yorker article was published, DeSantis refused to confirm or rule out a 2024 presidential bid during an appearance on Fox News.
Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked, “when will you announce or when will most candidates announce? Not until after midterms?”
“I have no idea,” DeSantis responded. “At the end of the day, the interesting thing about me is people always inject my name into it just based off what I’m doing in Florida. And so, you know, we’ve really gotten more notoriety not because I’m out trying to do that just because I’m getting things done for my people in my state.”
Trump has consistently hinted as his intent to run, but has not formally announced a campaign.
In February, Trump stated that he has already won twice and that he will be doing it again for a “third time,” during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
“We did it twice, and we’ll do it again. We’re going to be doing it again a third time,” Trump said to massive applause. “November 2024 they will find out like never before.”
NO!
Do NOT deprive Florida of the BEST governor, EVER.
There would be issues with certifying EVs, I believe, if Pres & VP are from the same state. (Not sure.)
Better question; what role will President Desantis ask Trump to take on? Secretary of State? Speaker of the House? Commerce Secretary?
DeSantis will run in 2028.
Alotta things gonna happen between now and then...not gonna worry about it much ‘till then.
I was very responsible for his success, because I endorsed him and he went up like a rocketship.
True or not, this is the type of braggadocio i loathe from Trump
they both cannot be from the same state, correct?
he should pick a young VP to serve as Desantis’ running mate in 2028...
perhaps the lt governor from VA. for years as Trump’s VP then 8 years as DeSantis’ then 2036, 8 years of her as President...
that should be a good run... with DJTJ as her VP... liberal heads exploding in 2044...
i can dream.
4 more years of Trump plus a follow on 8 from De Santis would be great.
Trump can learn some better politicking from De Santis and De Santis can learn some business orgination.
Not true
Foreign policy and border security were aTrimps biggest successes, so President Desantis should sound him out for Secretary of State or Defense. If he wants to focus on rebuilding American manufacturing, then maybe Commerce Secretary
President doesn't appoint Speaker of the House and Trump is not a cabinet kind of guy so I don't see him accepting any position in that area.
I’m sure Sleepy Joe makes you feel much better
“Trump will run in 2024 and DeSantis will remain governor.
DeSantis will run in 2028.”
That is how I see it.
Easily resolved by Trump moving his residence back to New York, or any other state he chooses.
I’ve seen other people mention this and I didn’t understand it. I found this, so far:

I’d be happy with 8 from De Santis, provided he doesn’t go Bushy on us, and if there are four years of Trump before (or after if he has discovered the fountain of youth) would be very happy, unless this precluded Reagan rising from the dead and serving a third term.
If I was DeSantis, I’d be laughing at the Bragging. He is popular because he isn’t whining and stuck in the past. He’s getting s*”” done.
Why do you do Liz Cheney's dirty work for her?
DeSantis made clear he’d never run against Trump.
