“I got him elected,” Trump mentioned. “And I thought it was very disloyal when he said ‘Yes, I’d run’. I got him past two races.”

“I’m a big loyalist. Some people right here in this room tell me ‘sir, don’t worry about loyalty, it doesn’t mean anything in politics’. I said, to me it does. I got the guy elected.”

Trump, who derided his rival as ‘Rob DeSanctimonious’, went additional on the assault. He added: “He came to see me, let’s say weeping because he was dead. He was getting out of the race.

“He was looking for jobs already, probably at law firms or wherever he is going to look. He was totally dead. He ran a horrible campaign… it was like a wipeout.

“The election was going to be very soon. I said ‘you are dead’. If George Washington endorsed you are not going to win.”

Trump went on to endorse DeSantis on Twitter, calling him a “brilliant young leader”, a transfer he reckons finally bought him throughout the ending line in Florida.

“As soon as I endorsed him, he won the primary,” mentioned Trump. “It was over. He won by a landslide.”

Now DeSantis has flung his hat into the ring for the presidency, angering Trump, who went on: “Three years later, they asked him are you going to run against the president? He said ‘I have no comment’. I said no comment? No comment means he’s going to run.

“I didn’t help him 90%, I helped him 100%. This guy was dead politically for him to then say I’m going to run against the guy that got me in office? I didn’t need that.”

Trump acknowledged that DeSantis was his major challenger, however now feels his problem is chucking up the sponge, saying: “He is the number two right now, but he could be replaced. The way he is going right now, he is dropping like a rock.

“He could be number three and number four and you won’t ever hear me talking about him again.”
