Lake County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini said President-elect Donald Trump “barely knows what’s going on” when he issues endorsements.
The Republican made the remarks as he ponders a run for Congress to succeed U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, Trump’s choice for National Security Adviser. Trump this weekend endorsed state Sen. Randy Fine, a Palm Bay Republican, for the soon-vacant Congressional seat.
But that clearly upset Sabatini, who previously told Florida Politics he was considering running for the congressional seat and was “90% of the way there.” Those comments came before Trump endorsed Fine.
A Special Election has been scheduled for Waltz’s seat, with a Primary scheduled for Jan. 28 and a Special General Election to be held on April 1.
Sabatini clearly doesn’t care for Trump endorsing Fine, and criticized the choice to Fox 35 Orlando.
“Ninety percent of endorsements, the President barely knows what’s going on,” Sabatini told the local TV station. “He doesn’t know that Randy Fine is basically a borderline criminal, that he has ethics charges, he’s been found in contempt of court.”
That references a recent action by Brevard County Circuit Judge Scott Blaue, who held Fine in contempt in September for appearing by camera in court in a T-shirt and who appeared to give a rude hand gesture during court proceedings, as reported by Florida Today.
Sabatini knows how Trump endorsements can shape Republican Primary results in elections. Earlier this year Sabatini challenged U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster for his seat in Congress. He dropped out of that race after Trump endorsed the long-time incumbent in the race.
“Today, Donald Trump endorsed the incumbent in my race,” Sabatini posted on social media at the time. “I don’t always agree with Donald Trump’s endorsements, but I understand the political reality of what they are. Tonight, I am withdrawing from District 11, and I will be running for the Lake County Commission.”
Sabatini went on to unseat former Lake County Commissioner Doug Shields. Now he’s considering running for Congress again weeks after his election to local office. But he now sounds less certain of that route.
“If I don’t get in, it’s simply because there’s one or two people whose names I am not allowed to disclose at this point of them getting in,” he told Fox 35.

They didn’t like Sabatini in the FL House, insomuch they moved his office to the men’s room.
But he’s spot on about Randy Fine. I mean who disrespects the Special Olympics because he didn’t get an invite to some charity function? Scummy.

You think that’s going to hold? The Democrats did it in 2020 and there was NO RED WAVE in 2022. And they won by a fraction, like they always do. A fraction.
You will lose the House in 2026. So you are still my bitch.

I rarely agree with Sabatini about anything, but he’s right on this. Trump is clueless about who he appoints or endorses. Worse, he does not care to know. All he cares about is that they are 100% loyal to him. He should be going to prison, not the White House. God help us!
