“He did that against Ted Cruz in 2016,” DeSantis went on, citing Trump’s assertion that Texas Senator Ted Cruz was the real winner of the Iowa caucuses that year.
Trump objected “even when ‘The Apprentice’ didn’t get an Emmy,” In regard to Trump’s previous reality TV program, DeSantis stated.
“I don’t think people are going to buy it,” stated the governor of Florida.

“He’s promising the same things he did in ’16 that he didn’t deliver. And now he’s just running on the same stuff again,” DeSantis stated, as cited by Fox.
“You know, we didn’t get a wall. We didn’t get the swamp drained. He said he was going to go after Hillary [Clinton] and then let her off the hook two weeks after the election.”
Trump, according to him, will not take part in the GOP primary debates because “he would not perform the way they remember the Trump from 2015 and ’16. I think that’s the real reason he’s not debating.”
Trump is “a different guy now and I think he owes it to actually show up and answer questions,” DeSantis said.
Speaking in a statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said that DeSantis was “doing his best impression of a Never Trumper by reciting Democrat talking points peddled by Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign.”
“When Ron’s political career is finished in a few weeks, he can start moonlighting as a Democrat surrogate because he’s showing everyone his true colors,” Cheung said.
