President Trump cheered Ron DeSantis and bashed Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum, calling Tallahassee “one of the worst & most corrupt cities in the USA.”

Ron @RonDeSantisFL DeSantis is working hard. A great Congressman and top student at Harvard & Yale, Ron will be a record setting governor for Florida. Rick Scott gave him tremendous foundations to further build on. His opponent runs one of the worst & most corrupt cities in USA! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 20, 2018


Trump then tweeted that Rick Scott is “easily one of the best governors in the USA.” Calling Gillum incompetent, he again praised DeSantis, saying he will build on Scott’s success.

Rick Scott is known as easily one of the best Governors in the USA. Florida is setting records in almost every category of success. Amazing achievement-the envy of the World. Ron DeSantis will build on this success. His incompetent opponent will destroy Florida – next Venezuela! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 20, 2018


Trump is likely referring to the ongoing FBI investigation into corruption in Tallahassee, which has become the subject of one of DeSantis’ ads. A spokesperson for Gillum responded to DeSantis by saying the Democratic candidate is “not a subject of the FBI investigation.”



Andrew Gillum didn’t hesitate responding to Trump’s comments:

When you lie about me from the most powerful office in the world and still don’t have the courage to @ me… https://t.co/ESxXG5j6eH Advertisement — Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) October 20, 2018
