The relationship between donald trump and Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, who the former once supported while running for governor in 2018 has now turned sour, according to a Washington Post report.

The former president has yet to support DeSantis as he prepares to launch his campaign for a second term as Florida governor and likely will not support him, the report said, citing a close Trump aide. The two have not spoken to each other since early summer report added.

For his part, DeSantis is reportedly distancing himself from his former mentor as he seeks to assert himself on the national stage by standing up for fellow Republicans.

Trump, meanwhile, is monitoring DeSantis’ public appearances and poll numbers, the Washington Post said, citing Trump advisers. He has repeatedly criticized DeSantis, telling his advisors, “I did him.”

DeSantis was “ungrateful,” Trump reportedly said.

“I don’t understand what happened here. I don’t understand why he doesn’t appreciate me more,” Trump said, according to a person who visited his Mar a Lago club.

Trump reportedly recently asked some visitors at his golf club in Bedminster what they thought of DeSantis. The former president’s advisors expect the two to close horns for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

A separate report recently claimed that Trump accused the Florida governor of stealing his wind after DeSantis arranged for migrants to be flown to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
