Former President Donald Trump fired another warning shot at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis before polls closed Tuesday night; Trump said he “would tell you things about him that won’t be very flattering.”
From The Daily Wire:
Trump claimed that there was no “tiff” with DeSantis after he mocked the governor over the weekend, calling him “Ron DeSanctimonious” and using old poll numbers showing that he had a lead on DeSantis in a 2024 presidential primary.
“I don’t know if he is running. I think if he runs, he could hurt himself very badly,” Trump said. “I really believe he could hurt himself badly. I think he would be making a mistake, I think the base would not like it — I don’t think it would be good for the party.”
“If he runs, he runs,” Trump continued. “I would tell you things about him that won’t be very flattering — I know more about him than anybody — other than, perhaps, his wife.”
Trump and DeSantis are expected to go head-to-head in 2024; Trump voted for DeSantis on Tuesday.
