Donald Trump shared that his relationship with Ron DeSantis is “10 out of 10 — maybe 9.9.” The president previously called the Florida governor “DeSanctimonious” during the bitter 2024 GOP presidential primary contest, but the Republicans warmly greeted each other at the deportation center.

Donald Trump shared that he and Ron DeSantis are friendly with one another despite the harsh words they shared during the 2024 Republican primary race. “As you know, Ron and I have had a really great relationship,” Trump said while visiting the detention center, adding that they “had a little off period for a couple of days.”

In 2023, Donald Trump slammed Ron DeSantis on Truth Social. “Have you heard that ‘Rob’ DeSanctimonious wants to change his name, again. He is demanding that people call him DeeeSantis, rather than DaSantis,” Trump wrote. “Actually, I like ‘Da’ better, a nicer flow, so I am happy he is changing it. He gets very upset when people, including reporters, don’t pronounce it correctly. Therefore, he shouldn’t mind, DeSanctimonious?”

Donald Trump previously trashed Ron DeSantis, writing back in 2024, “[I] will be heading to the Great State of Iowa this afternoon for two days. I strongly defended and backed Ethanol, Ron ‘DeSaster’ has ALWAYS been strongly against Ethanol, just like he voted 3 times to cut Social Security (and raise the minimum age to 70!), obliterate MediCare, and charge everyone a National Sales Tax of 23%.”
