The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, called Donald Trump ‘an idiot’ before relying on the former President to get him elected as the Governor of Florida in 2018, according to a feature piece published on Ron and his wife Jill “Casey” DeSantis.
During his unremarkable, five-year stint as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives between 2013 and 2018, DeSantis would spend his time talking to his staff about “the Constitution, baseball, and golf.”
The only times DeSantis joked around with his former staffers were apparently at Trump’s expense: “The one thing they joked about, the former staffer said, was Trump.”
“Ron always said this guy was just an idiot.”
Despite this, Governor DeSantis went on to beg for Trump’s endorsement in the run-up to the Florida gubernatorial election in November 2018, meeting the former President “with tears in his eyes” before asking for “a favor.”
The full feature, which has been described as a “hit piece” by Ron DeSantis’s staffers, can be read here. The campaign, nor the Governor, have denied the allegations.
I would suggest that all FReepers watch this. It is quite remarkable.

I’m always crush the left.
Unfortunately, trump had the same situation his first two years as president and squandered it big time. To the point, he lost congress.
I refused to vote for Bush the first time.
I also refused to vote for McCain.
I would probably vote for Ron and then wait ten to fifteen
years for others to catch up.
Today nobody has a good word to say about Bush. In the day
I was Satan’s spawn to a lot of folks.
Actually, Never Desantis is just a way of saying Only Trump. They would treat anyone with the slightest chance of defeating Trump the same way, calling them globalists, GOPe, Deep State, etc. They are offended if anyone with a chance to dethrone Trump opposes him. It just so happens that Desantis is the one with the best chance of doing that.
He will have to prove it, so will Trump.
Bush and McCain adied the left, never fought them.
Having money and successful businesses doesn’t make you intelligent. Let’s remember the guy that built the submarine and imploded at 8,000 ft.
So how come Trump underperformed him the last election?
Bush was a disappointment in a lot of ways, but just think how much worse off we would be if Gore or Kerry had been president.
Let’s assume that your premise is correct. I don’t disagree, I believe it was stolen from Trump.
What part of the system is changed so that that won’t happen to Trump again? By the way I believe that same thing will happen to any Republican.
Bush was better than McCain. That guy hit me as the poster
boy for wicked.
I thought of Bush as a light-weight that would sell us out
on many issues.
I don’t think Ron would sell us out on many issues. I don’t
see him as having enough foreign policy under his belt.
Whether we like it or not, there aren’t that many full
blood Conservatives or advisers in Congress who see things
our way. We can’t simply say that someone might not have
certain qualifications and then sway, “...but they will
have advisors.”
Who is fighting against the crypto US Dollar and FedNow?
We are alone, and the president must be very astute in
how he’ll deal with others on the international scene.
When they started in politics, the country and the parties weren’t as polarized as they are now, so it was expected that the two parties could find common ground.
Yup. That’s what the pollsters want you to believe.
Have you learned nothing about polling?
DeSantis sponsored over 50 pieces of legislation while a congressman which is quite remarkable.
DeSantis is also a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy. He is also a recipient of a Bronze Star.
Trump, on the other hand, dodged military service
I think we had Obama because of Bush. I understand your
view on that and I share it somewhat, but Obama is the one
that set back race relations by decades. He damaged us
on the international scene too.
Saudi Arabia’s wondering eye can be attributed to him as
much as Biden > IMO.
I had meant to say I would not advise folks not to vote
for DeSantis. I am not convinced they won’t come back
to regret it in some ways. Trump achieved a lot for us.
Calling President Trump a loser shows the depth of rot from anybody or everybody. These that campaign for a swamp monster, neocon globalists, because President Trump has 'lost' three elections are depraved and deserve godfather Joe.
We are tiptoeing on the edge of nuclear WWIII .... because godfather Joe has decided we must have regime change in Russia ... like Putin is going to gracefully step aside ... and the deadwood GOPe keeps agreeing to send more dollars... and the so called conservatives claim what we need is social security and medicare benefits cut...
These GOPe clowns that call President Trump 3 time loser, have done NOTHING to protect the vote for their little god DEE-Saintus...
I do not view that President Trump was the only victim of election theft ... these demonic criminals in both parties ripped off "We the People" ... and I do believe that they will reap what they have sown in the Heavenly Father's time.
I see no evidence that any state intends on holding honest elections ever again....
Really? I agree with 2004,but would we have gotten a true Conservative in 2004. Would Gore have gone into Iraq.
No, the left destroyed that like everything else they touched😡😡, so we have to play the Ballot Harvesting hame now.
