“You’re my friend and you’ll always be my friend,” Trump said to DeSantis as he kicked off a roundtable after taking a tour of the detention facility. “We may even have some skirmishes in the future, I doubt it. But we’ll always come back because we have blood that seems to match pretty well.”

President Donald Trump said this week that his previously tumultuous relationship with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has now bounced back to a 9.9 out of 10. The two men -- who engaged in a fierce primary battle during the 2024 election cycle -- were standing side by side Tuesday for the opening of a new detention center in the Everglades for illegal aliens.
