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

“You have yet to address Klaus’ remarks or did it hit you in your GD?”
You obviously have no experience with such gatherings. Platitudes to attendees are common. That is irrelevant.
The speech Trump gave. The America First and Foremost message he conveyed is the relevant fact. You focus on Klaus’ platitudes and totally ignore Trump’s speech to the WEF attendees. A speech that was completely Pro America and that didn’t go over well at all with the attendees.
True, but he is not the man to carry it forward. He let Biden beat him, or he let Biden steal it. He and Kirshner ran a horrible Campain.
I like Trump, but he’s sure makes it obvious early on who he feels threatened by in the 2024 GOP primary.
I didn’t ignore it, I studied it. You choose not to see. Good Evening, sir.
This is a quote from the article
“Out of a million, about half a million have registered as Republican, and only 17,000 have registered as Democrats. So we’re just obliterating the Democrats,” he said.

Oh, yes. I remember it well. Fawning all over Donald like a giddy school girl. It was pathetic.
Threatened by? Maybe he just knows who his biggest competition is.
ZOT!!!
Thanks Jim!
Trump is doing Trump Campaign stuff.
automotive mechanics, retired police officers, farmers, farm equipment retailers, the list goes on...
trump’s “operation warped speech” pissed off a lot of people in my area of florida...
yep ... across the board ... probably lost forever ...
Trump is awesome. Everyone owes him everything….even when he does idiotic things. To disagree is to be disloyal.
oh yeah...
trump flags and banners were burned in celebration in my neighborhood this past friday night...
a trump roast... 😁
trump is toast after his “operation warped speech” against florida governor ron desantis...
THe got Trump now ( for the 1,000th time ).
Trump is a fool.....same guy who unleashed the Jan 6th crowd. He’s now burning down the party and attacking one of the finest governors in the country. Why?
He has NO path to 270. Trump will never win another election.
If he’s the nominee he will get waxed by another braindead liberal because of his arrogant meglomanic style.
This latest display ought to way up a whole bunch on folks. This isn’t 2016 and name calling and trying to embarrass candidates won’t work.
