Ron DeSantis Apparently Wants a Job in the Trump Administration
“DeSantis’ future was on the menu after the two men had lunch at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami a week ago Sunday.”
Ron DeSantis is nearing the end of his tenure as Governor of Florida and reportedly wants a job in the Trump administration. Trump should oblige him and give him pretty much any job he wants. This is a no-brainer.
DeSantis has been an outstanding governor and enjoys very high approval ratings, especially from Republicans. He could easily handle a high-level role in any area, national security, law enforcement, domestic policy, just name it.
I have no doubt that DeSantis would be a trustworthy and effective ally, no matter where he lands.
Axios reported:
Scoop: DeSantis “begging” Trump for prime role in administration
President Trump has told confidants that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is “begging” for a job in Trump’s administration — including attorney general — Axios has learned.
- DeSantis also has expressed interest in being secretary of defense and even a spot on the U.S. Supreme Court, according to six sources briefed on the discussions.
Why it matters: DeSantis has to leave office at the end of his second term in January and is “looking for what to do next,” according to one source who said Trump is inclined to consider helping out his understudy-turned-rival-turned-friend.
Inside the room: DeSantis’ future was on the menu after the two men had lunch at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami a week ago Sunday.
- “Ron was begging me to be AG,” Trump told one confidant, who relayed the remark to Axios.
- Said another source: “There was a conversation at that lunch. I don’t think AG is real. But he’s gonna be looking for work and Trump likes him.”
Zoom in: DeSantis’ conversations with Trump got serious in recent weeks after the president dismissed Kristi Noem as homeland security secretary and Pam Bondi as attorney general.
Some liberal media outlets are using words like ‘desperate’ and ‘frantic’ in an effort to spin this story as a negative for DeSantis. It is not a negative. This would be a fantastic pick-up for the Trump administration.
Conservative commentator Clay Travis is thinking Supreme Court Justice DeSantis. Interesting…

That is one role I had not thought of because DeSantis is such obvious presidential material and he is young enough to serve in 2028 or eight or even twelve years from now.
Either way, Trump should take him up on this and put him to work. It’s nothing but win.

Give him a shot. Red meat to the TDS crowd
I’ve always liked Desantis and he’s done a fine job in Fla, but I’ve REALLY liked him since he sent a couple plane loads of illegals to Martha’s Vinyard making rich, snobby, nimby, hypocritical democrats heads explode. That was beautiful.
I hope he gets a job with the feds.
Dear God we have short memories
DeSantis stabbed Trim in the back so many times but 2 stand out .
As Governor of Florida, DeSantis would have to be informed of the FBI operation at Mara Lago PRIOR in order no t to have his police in a stand off with the FBI .
He did NOTHING to inform Trump and waited FIVE days to say anything and it was not personal, it was a short message on the official Governors website
Then after saying he wouldnt run against Trump,
He ran against him
If your going to strike the King… you better kill him
That’s really not a good argument.
First why would any Governor tip off Trump or any other person in their State about a pending FBI service of a search warrant? Second he said he wouldn’t run v Trump in the 2020 Presidential election not that he wouldn’t ever do so. Frankly DeSantis running in ’24 solidified support for Trump by demonstrating to any GoP establishment holdouts that even a formidable opponent like DeSantis was unable to stop the ‘Trump Train’ in a contested primary and everyone had to get onboard, get run over or get left behind.
You should have your spleen checked.
That is pure speculation on your part.
If he were informed he would be under a strict obligation not to tell anyone. But there’s no reason to think he was ever informed.
Whatever you thought while emotions were hot as hell because one side wanted the second Trump term and the other were scared to death he wouldn’t be able to win the next time the damned primary is over and nobody wants to return to it.
I thought Trump couldn’t win and his deciding to go for a second term frightened me and caused me to say things I regret.
Guess what?
I am overjoyed that I was wrong and thank god for the Trump administration.
The primary is over, stop deluding yourself with insane images of a governor having some sort of authority over the FBI or of the idea the FBI is accountable in some way to a governor or that it informs governors about what they are doing.
Untied States Federal Law Enforcement has nothing to do with any governor.
lol ONE plane… one
He chickened out with the second…
But he has been a good governor, no doubt about it.
I think his wife wants more, much more
Reality is he could have been VP but he choose the antitrump billionaire club instead
I think only one plane fits on the island at a time.
Why would he want to be VP?
VP has typically put a lock on the nomination for the next presidential primary after the current President is no longer the incumbent.
And has typically resulted in losing the election. The only person since 1837 who was elected directly from the vice presidency to the presidency was Bush Sr.
(I originally wrote “from the Naval Observatory to the White House”, but the NO has only been the VP’s residence since 1974. Before that there was no official VP’s residence.)

I don’t consider him a really close ally to Trump, don’t know where the author is getting his/her sources but he’s done good in Florida.
He’s part of the sea island billionaires club so I don’t trust him. (Although who in DC isn’t part of that good ole boys network.)
Don’t know if AG is on the table or not.
We all remember what happened to Mitt Romney when he had his lunch with Trump.
He’s literally the first congressman to rally behind Trump after he won a heavily divided primary in 2016.
To even mention Romney and DeSantis in the same sentence is BS! One is a money making liberal weasel, the other an intelligent blue collar high achieving conservative governor who served his country and worked his way to where he is! No family money and no party switching in his life like others. He knows who he is and where he is going.
Interesting sorry about that
Yes, but not until the Midterms are over. DeSantis has one last job in Florida – getting his team into the Statehouse and picking up congressional seats. Perhaps Trump should put DeSantis in charge of a national midterm effort.
Maybe Florida should pull a Virginia and redirect the whole state so it’s only republican?
Florida legislature is chock full of rinos and ‘herding cats’ fails to do justice to the level of difficulty and resistance to change. Lots of big corporate interests and long-standing relationships, good old boy network establishment who prefer things exactly as the way they are b/c that’s how their bread gets buttered.
ooo I like the SCOTUS option.
If he’s to ascend to the Presidency, I think he needs to rotate through Rubio’s chair. Rubio seems to be killing it.
Me too. Though there’s no obvious vacancy coming up.
He’d make an interesting RNC chairman, too.
Third best option would be to make him an issue “czar” nominally under some Secretary, but more or less an independent hitman, like Musk was.
Well he could rotate Rubio to Sec of War and appoint Desantis to be Sec of State, Both are competent and both would be burnishing their credentials.
We have a Sec of War thank you
Rubio is doing a fine job as SOS. He should stay there.
And Hegseth is doing a good job at War/Defense.
Yeah he is! People talk about ‘deep state’ and one of the easy examples for decades has been in the corridors of the Pentagon. Sec Hegseth is intentionally disrupting the status quo of the DoD ‘Princes’. For too long they’ve been fixated on social experiments and getting invited to DC cocktail parties by pushing ‘progressive’ shiny objects of the moment and overpriced weapon systems/equipment to curry favor with Defense companies.
One example is firing/weeding out woke general officers. Another is ending the madness of defense contracts where the military was refused permission to fix the equipment themselves and having to wait on defense contractors to send someone to replace on the shelf parts at obscene prices, meanwhile platforms and equipment sits ‘deadlined’ unable to be used. DoD has basically ended that scam insisting on and asserting a ‘right to repair’. Many more examples of good things happening at DoD under Sec Hegseth.
Well he could’ve the head of the Navy, cause Pete just fired the present head of the Navy immediately
DeSantis’s strength are political, not military. It would be a shame to waste him. We need a schemer.
More anonymous information.
Given that he’s term limited and there is a FL US Senate race this year, I’m surprised he didn’t run for that.
Knowing how the GOP is going to go in the tank this election, I’m not.
Pretty sure the Attorney General job opened up recently. Don’t know if they could get him confirmed, but I suspect he has the guts to actually do the job if they can.
The SC angle would be even better, but you know the communist filth would fight like banshees to avoid that. No telling what kind of accusations they’d come up with to try to head that off.
The communists and the GOPe losers in the Senate will never confirm DeSantis or anyone similar.
Ron DeSantis has done a great job here in Florida.
His war on woke has yielded excellent results.
Pulling down a statue is a serious crime, blocking traffic as protest can legally get you killed, Tampa prosecutor refusing to charge criminals was removed, etc.
We have a well run state that is solidly Republican.
Please put him in a job to continue the MAGA work
I think the same, he’s pugnacious and Machiavellian. And very good at handing the liberal press their heads when they ask “have you stopped beating your wife” questions
DeSantis “begging” for a position with Trump administration? Come on.
It’s Axios. Of course they had to slant it to make DeSantis look bad.
scotus should be his next stop for employment as a justice
Elevator Shoe Production Commissar.
De Santis is likely the best Governor in the U.S. Nary a misstep. Give him a list of open positions and let him pick.
