It&#8217;s really bad. Not because of the governor, thank you Mr. President for doing that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it&#8217;s not because of the governor, Florida was doing fantastically,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;You had a governor named Rick Scott who did a very good job. Even Charlie Crist, a Democrat, did a good job and he had very good numbers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The margin of 1.5million votes and 19.4 points that DeSantis won over Crist in the last year&#8217;s Florida elections was a record-breaking win.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sunshine and ocean are very alluring. It&#8217;s not too hard to work with those factors,&#8221; Trump concluded. &#8220;So just remember Florida was doing really well long before Ron DeSanctus got there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">President Trump &#8220;For those of you that didn&#8217;t notice, Florida was doing great long before Ron DeSanctus got there!&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ugpmOVq8f5\">pic.twitter.com\/ugpmOVq8f5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrumpWarRoom\/status\/1635362005464010753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 13, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/03\/13\/trump-lashes-out-desantis-regrets-endorsement-00086861\">Telled<\/a> DeSantis was with a group reporters aboard his plane. &#8220;dead as a dog&#8221; Trump said that DeSantis was his favorite candidate when he received Trump&#8217;s endorsement in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, maybe, probably yeah,&#8221; Trump stated. &#8220;I like people that are loyal. This guy was dead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump was met with widespread opposition from the political Right for his attack on DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump&#8217;s non stop snipping at DeSantis, who isn&#8217;t responding, shows the power hierarchy and shows who is threatened,&#8221; Mike Cernovich, a political commentator, tweeted. &#8220;Contenders call out champions, not the other way around.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Former Fox News host Jedediah Bila tweeted, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to say I warned ya, but I did.
