Hotel magnate Robert Bigelow donated $20 million to a super PAC supporting the Florida Republican but now is attacking him.
“Who would you want as a commander? I’d want somebody that would be a hell of an ass-kicker if he needed to be,” Bigelow said in an interview with the Financial Times published Wednesday. “On the face of it, you lean toward Trump.”
In the Financial Times interview, he had some choice words for a candidate he once said he would “go without food” to support, and predicted Trump would prevail as the GOP nominee if he stays out of jail. Representatives for Bigelow and the DeSantis campaign did not immediately return messages seeking comment Thursday.to NBC in August, when he said, “If I had a nickel for every naysayer I’ve had in my life, I’d be a very, very wealthy man.”
