President Trump praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a \u201cPod Force One\u201d interview and didn\u2019t rule him out for a potential cabinet job.<\/p>\n

\u201cRon\u2019s very good,\u201d Trump told \u201cPod Force One\u201d host Miranda Devine in the latest episode out Wednesday, when asked about speculation that the term-limited governor may be in the mix for the attorney general position in the wake of Pam Bondi\u2019s firing.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople thought of different names. There are some good names,\u201d the president continued, noting DeSantis has \u201cnever talked about\u201d wanting the gig.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A former 2024 presidential primary rival of Trump\u2019s, DeSantis has since worked closely on the president\u2019s priorities, including cracking down on illegal immigration and redistricting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ruthless personal attacks Trump leveled against DeSantis on the campaign trail \u2014 including referring to the Sunshine State governor as \u201cRon DeSanctimonious\u201d \u2014 have been replaced by kind compliments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a governor and doing a very good job,\u201d Trump told The Post\u2019s Devine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRon\u2019s good. He\u2019s a friend of mine. He just named an airport after me,\u201d he added. \u201cThey named the Palm Beach International Airport the Donald J. Trump International Airport.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

DeSantis signed legislation in March to rename the airport frequently used by Trump on his visits to Mar-a-Lago in his honor. The move came on the heels of the governor facilitating the construction of Trump\u2019s presidential library in Miami.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a great honor,\u201d Trump said of having the West Palm Beach, Fla., airport named after him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president, however, appeared satisfied with the job acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has done at the helm of the DOJ.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI wanted to see how he\u2019s received \u2026 and he\u2019s done a very good job,\u201d Trump said of Blanche, who was his former personal attorney.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump indicated that he doesn\u2019t currently have anyone in mind to replace Blanche.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of great people,\u201d the president said of potential cabinet hopefuls. \u201cThe Republican Party \u2014 we have great people.\u201d<\/p>\n
