  • The GOP presidential nomination could be a competitive one.

  • If that happens, Trump may reveal unflattering information.

  • He said he knew more about him than his wife.

If the two men end up competing for the Republican presidential nomination, Donald Trump might reveal unflattering information about Ron DeSantis.

Speaking to reporters on his plane, the former president said he didn't know if DeSantis would run against him, but suggested that doing so would be bad for the GOP.

I'm not sure if he's running. He could hurt himself very badly if he ran. According to Fox News, Trump said he believed he could hurt himself. I don't believe it would be good for the party if he made a mistake.

I'm not sure if he runs. Trump said that if he ran, he would run. I would tell you things about him that are not very flattering, but I know more about him than anyone else.

It was not clear what information Trump had about DeSantis, though he had threatened to "spill the beans" about Cruz's wife.

Trump denied that there was a dispute between the two men.

"I'm way up in the polls and there's not a problem with me." There isn't.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, Trump stated that the Florida governor's wife is running his campaign.

It's backed up by Insider's own reporting, which reported on the influence of her husband's wife on his image.

At a rally in Dayton, Ohio, on Monday, Trump said he would make a major announcement at Mar-a-Lago on November 15.

Business Insider has an article on it.
