While DeSantis has not formally announced a 2024 presidential campaign, he is currently the only potential contender who has numbers even somewhat close to Trump.
There has been speculation, including from the New York Times, that Trump might switch his nickname for the governor from “Ron DeSanctimonious” to “Meatball Ron,” but Trump said that just isn’t true.
“I will never call Ron DeSanctimonious ‘Meatball’ Ron, as the Fake News is insisting I will,” Trump wrote in the post. “Even though FoxNews killing lightweight Paul Ryan is revered by him, Low Energy Jeb Bush is his hero and always at his side, his beaches and State were closed for long periods of time, his testing, testing, testing for the China Virus didn’t work out too well, and his loyalty skills are really weak, it would be totally inappropriate to use the word ‘meatball’ as a moniker for Ron!”
In another post, Trump said that it is obvious that DeSantis will try to challenge him in the Republican primary.
“All of the Fake News is reporting that I spend large amounts of my time coming up with a good ‘nickname’ for Ron DeSanctimonious, who is obviously going to give the presidential ‘thing’ a shot,” Trump wrote.
Trump also pointed to the fact that he dominating the polls when it comes to hypothetical primary matchups.

desantis never announced he’s running for president...
“Meatball? Well Donald, by mentioning it you just did.”
I think Trump was being tongue-in-cheek. Of course he knows he mentioned it in the process of saying he would not mention it. I don’t even know how this got turned into an issue about race.
“Well, Trump has just lost his support from this eye-talian...and millions others.”
Nahh. Most Italians aren’t as sensitive and easily triggered as you are. THIS Italian certainly isn’t.
If Trump and DeSantis had had a talk before the media lit a match.. They could have come out together.. Trump Pres and DeSantis VP, and DeSantis could have 8 years Pres.
The country would do well.
Understood, but it’s likely he will, and he doesn’t want people who will want to donate to him thinking they’ve already done so.
The media didn’t light a match. Dummy Trump did.
What I have read suggests that Morris’s associate Haym Salomon deserves much of the credit for financing the revolution. In particular, when George Washington urgently needed $20,000 to march his army to Yorktown in August 1781, it was Salomon who provided the money after Morris couldn’t. And when victory was won, Washington asked Salomon what he wanted as a reward. The reply was “Nothing for me, something for my people”. Reportedly Washington then ordered that that the 13 stars on the Great Seal of the United States be arranged as a Star of David, and so it has been since 1782. Haym Salomon himself was never repaid, and died in poverty 3 years later.
Well, looks like your sense of humor is right as rain. I think you’re going to be ok!
Sounds like they both sacrificed their fortunes for this nation, and died broke. It will take sacrifices like that, again, or the nation will be lost.
Why does fake news want Trump to call DeSantis Meatball Ron? Is DeSantis gaining weight?
He looked like he gained weight when I saw him on the news inspecting hurricane damage wearing white rubber boots.
Trump does not respect DeSantis. And he won’t lie to be politically correct like that.

I hear you. I don’t expect Trump to lie. But I would hope that he would be clever enough to choose his words carefully. Clever people win elections. Loose cannons can be admired for their candor. But loose cannons lose elections.
Wha?
Buddah... you been hangin’ with Drew again haven’t you.
Look. Drew is a pro. you cannot hang with him. He’ll get you saying things...
Sober up and rethink this.
And steer clear of Drew!
Do you actually think a governor has the right to tell federal law enforcement agents that they cannot enforce a legally issued subpoena? Please tell me you don’t actually think that and you’re just fantasizing here with that comment.
