Gov. Ron DeSantis to Newsmax: Forget Trump Ticket, I'm 'an Executive Guy'
Newsmax ^ | Thursday, 23 March 2023 08:55 PM EDT | Eric Mack |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not making any presidential campaign announcements before the end of his state's legislative session, but he is sure talking like he will be throwing his hat in the 2024 GOP presidential primary race.

And, he told Newsmax in an exclusive interview Thursday night, you can forget about him working with former President Donald Trump.

"I think I'm probably more of an executive guy," DeSantis told "Eric Bolling The Balance." "I think that you want to be able to do things. That's part of the reason I got into this job is because we have action.

"We're able to make things happen, and I think that's probably what I am best suited for."

Host Eric Bolling asked, since DeSantis has yet to announce — current Florida law would force him to step down as governor if he did — would he entertain an invitation from a prospective GOP-nominee Trump to be his vice president?

He laughed it off with the response above.

“...some nebulous MAGA nonsense”

Make America Great Again is nonsense?

Reminds me of Biden always talking about MAGA Republicans like that’s BAD thing.

“Make America Great Again is nonsense?”

Yes.

I did not vote for SwampJabs, TrumpRyanCare, more gun rules, drunken democrat level spending, federal entitlements in general, etc.

Those are not my definition of great for America. But it is Trump’s. Greatness is entirely subjective. AOC would say it is ‘great’ to tax you 100%.

Nebulous nonsense.

The Freedom candidate is Ron.

The whatever-I-say-is-Great-today candidate is the populist pol, Don.

30 peices of silver is about right.

Your support of China over the USA is duly noted.

He lacks humility.

And Trump doesn't?

I believe the problem is that DeSantis is being pushed into the role before he’s ready by the elite RINOs because they do not want Trump to win. But the real role should be for Republicans to get behind the choice of The People and stop dividing the vote.

And don’t forget that once upon a time Trump endorsed DeSantis, so what has changed to make Trump attack DeStantis?

The other thing that is important is for voters to vote in the primary so their voice is heard. Otherwise, you can’t be surprised by who’s on the final ballot.

I heard he was 5 foot 7 without his boots on.

His high water pants just make him look taller. Was that as intentional as tippy toes !Jeb?

Trump gets the blame for the mandates. They would not be possible without his lust for power.

You're not going to be with US much longer. So go full steam ahead with ranting and raving and lying. If you had any sense, you'd just bail and get back to being more active at the DUmp.

History quickly showed that Trump’s claim he was being arrested was false, so there was no need to rush into anything.

Mr. Morality is a consistent liar. I picture you banging away furiously while sporting your brown corduroy short pants, 3 sizes too big flowery shirt, black crew socks and sandals. Armor for nasty old stinking 'Florida Man'.

If he runs in ‘24, he will have to resign from his present job.

Not if he can succeed in having the law changed to his personal benefit.

DeSantis has never held a private sector job, has he...?

Never had to make a payroll?
