“I get along great with Ron, Ron was very good on the Mueller hoax, he was right up front … they were fantastic,” he said.
“He’s done a really terrific job in Florida,” he continued.
“He’s been a friend of mine for a long time. It’s totally fake news.“
Trump was responding to reports among left-wing media like the New York Times, claiming that “tensions rise” between the two Republican superstars.
Conservatives have been skeptical of the reported feud, saying that the reports are an effort to divide and conquer conservatives and freedom-loving populists as the midterms and 2024 presidential election draw closer.
