During an interview that aired on Thursday’s broadcast of Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show, former President Donald Trump, now a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, took a shot at his possible rival in the contest, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
Trump recounted his version of DeSantis seeking his endorsement in the 2018 Florida Republican gubernatorial primary against then-Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam.
According to the former president, DeSantis begged for the endorsement. Trump also claimed he had to help DeSantis in his run in the general election against then-Tallahassee, FL Mayor Andrew Gillum, the Democratic Party’s nominee.
“[R]on DeSantis got elected because of me,” he said. “You remember he had nothing. He was dead. He was leaving the race. 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 was running against Adam Putnam, the commissioner of agriculture, who had a massive lead. He was running for eight years while he was commissioner. He had $40 million in cash. I believe it was forty, and he was up in the poll massively by, you know, tremendous, but not catchable, not even catchable. He said if you endorse me, I’ll win. And there were tears coming down from his eyes. 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

Really? Are you really this uninformed that you need me to feed you this info?
There’s this secret, little-known, thing called the FEC. FEC data. In fact, if you pay attention there have been numerous articles posted on FreeRepublic which break FEC contribution data down in detail.
But, you don’t have to go by the words of those articles’ authors.
If you actually want to be informed you can go to the FEC website and see the data for yourself.
Desantis is being Bankrolled by the same Globalists that bankrolled W., Yeb! Romney, McCain, etc...
Desantis’ average contribution is in the Millions. President Trump’s average contribution is Less Than 200 Dollars.
One is being funded by the People. The other is by Special Interest Groups and individuals with Open Border/Globalist Agenda’s.
This is easily verifiable to anyone that cares enough to look.

The RINO’s did this EXACT same thing to President Reagan after he left office. Never mentioned his name. Never gave him credit. Tried to forget he was ever president and go back to business as usual in The Swamp.
BTW, the RINO’s did the EXACT same thing to President Reagan after he left office. Never mentioned his name. Never gave him credit. Tried to forget he was ever president and go back to business as usual in The Swamp.
See the link below. BTW, the RINO’s treated President Reagan Exactly the same way they are treating President Trump today. Never mentioning his many achievements. Trying to erase him. Trying to pretend he was an anomaly. And get right back to the DC Swamp Business as Usual.
