Likely in Response to the “Ron is God” Campaign Ad, President Trump Gives Ron DeSantis a Nickname

During a Pennsylvania MAGA rally tonight, President Trump went through the republican polling for the 2024 nomination contest.  When it came to the second-place polling finisher, President Trump gave the Florida governor a new nickname, “Ron DeSanctimonious.”  LOL

Many people were caught off guard by the rather humous slight, aka a shot across the bow as subtle as a brick through a window; however, it’s likely President Trump was responding to the latest, well, rather cringy campaign ad from the Florida governor’s campaign, “Ron is God.”  WATCH:

$200 million in Wall Street and corporate donations buys a lot of hubris.  Add that money to the echo-chambered DeSantis campaign branding group, mix in a few detached billionaires amid the cocktail circuit, and what you get is a cringeworthy ad in the same theme as the Ted Cruz campaign in 2016.  The similarities are not coincidental.

“Ron DeSanctimonious” it’s funny, because like all the best nicknames, the truth within it just sticks.

The 2024 GOP nomination contest is going to be a lot of fun, especially if a less restricted Twitter is the cultural battlespace between the cocktail class republicans (DeSanctimonious) and the scruffy MAGA roughnecks (Trump).   Although, the Florida Governor would be making a big mistake in abandoning the people of Florida to fuel his GOPe ego….. but we’ll wait and see.

 

Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them….
