President Trump praised Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) on Friday, saying he would make a "great" governor of Florida.

Link to tweet

DeSantis, who chairs a national security panel of the House Oversight Committee, appeared on Fox News mid-flight on Air Force One as Trump flew to Palm Beach, Fla., for the holiday weekend.

DeSantis has not formally entered the Florida gubernatorial race, though he is expected to announce a 2018 bid to succeed Gov. Rick Scott (R), who is term-limited.

DeSantis was a vocal ally for Trump during his 2016 presidential run and has been visible with Trump this year, most recently appearing with him at a rally earlier this month in Pensacola, Fla.

13. I can only imagine how severely DeSantis grimaced

and squirmed with discomfort upon hearing this fantastic news.

14. But what about the all-important Roy Moore endorsement?

Surely every KGOP candidate must want a piece of that?

15. Keep in mind, DeSantis is one of the ones along with Jordan, and Gaetz

who have pushed the hardest to shut down Mueller to protect Trump and I believe he was also on AF1 discussing that with Trump.

He's a big time traitor to America.
