WATCH: President Trump Sends DeSantis a Powerful Reminder in New Ad


Say what you want about President Donald Trump.

One thing is for certain though.

The man is a proven winner, and he’s an absolute alpha when it comes to campaign ads.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis now knows this better than most.

In a scathing new ad, Trump absolutely torched DeSantis.

The ad takes aim at the fact that DeSantis was struggling in the 2018 Florida gubernatorial election before President Trump endorsed him.

Down by as many as 17 points at one point, the ad claims that Trump’s endorsement gave DeSantis a commanding lead and promptly saved his political career.

If that wasn’t a strong enough message for DeSantis, the ad later shows him parroting Trump’s favorite campaign slogans to his own kids.

The kid gloves are officially off!

The New York Post has more on Trump’s powerful ad calling DeSantis out:

Donald Trump’s campaign has called out Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a new TV ad for “attacking” the former Republican president and one-time ally — and suggested the Florida governor should drop out of the race before he even gets in.

“Ron DeSantis was struggling big time in his primary race for governor of Florida,” says the ad’s narrator, referring to the 44-year-old’s first gubernatorial run in 2018.

“Polls revealed DeSantis was failing so bad he was losing by a staggering 17 points,” the narrator adds. “Then DeSantis was saved by the endorsement of President Trump.

“Trump’s support was so powerful, just two days after the endorsement, DeSantis took a commanding lead and it propelled him to being elected governor.”

The ad includes a clip from DeSantis’ victory speech in November 2018, in which the potential 2024 GOP challenger says, “I’d like to thank our president for standing by me when it wasn’t necessarily the smart thing to do.”

Twitter reacted to the ad:

This whole thing is going to be interesting to watch.
