Full interview of Donald J Trump

Former President Donald Trump has taken some heat for attacking his potential 2024 presidential primary opponent, Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, but he told Newsmax he needs to get the word out.

"No, I think that would be a very unlikely alliance," Trump told Friday's "Rob Schmitt Tonight" in a phone interview, when asked if he would consider DeSantis as a potential running mate.

"I've never thought of it," Trump told host Rob Schmitt. "We have a lot of great people in the Republican Party. I've never thought of it; but you know some people every once in awhile mention it, but that's about it."
