“He had nothing! He was dead, he was leaving the race, he came over and he begged me, begged me, for an endorsement. He was getting ready to drop out.
“There were tears coming down from his eyes. He said, ‘If you endorse me, I’ll win.’ So I end up doing it, and he wins.
“They say it was like a bomb went off. Just a bomb totally went off. From the moment I endorsed him, he went from losing by numbers that were not catchable to winning easily.
“I got him past the crackhead [Andrew Gillum], who was the hottest person in the Democratic Party at the time.” – Trump, in an interview today with Hugh Hewitt.
