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.”
$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.
...
You didn't "miss it". It isn't there; it doesn't exist.
"Sundance" (the cowardly pseudonymous author of the OP) invented it. That's a nice way of saying that "Sundance" is a LIAR.
Psalm 118:8-9 ...
NO human person is worthy of the blind faith some people give to Trump.
“I watched the ad. A great one but I missed the “Ron is God.
Same here, thought it was a good ad. I’ve always believed and still do, that the Lord has his hand on Prez Trump and still does.
I haven’t heard anyone seriously use that phrase, ‘Ron is God’, since I left Scientology...
After what they did in 2020, there is only one way to put things halfway right - and that is re-electing President Trump a second time in 2024.
Anything less than President Trump back in the White House is total capitulation, and we cannot simply “move on” from a stolen election.
Me too…..
It’s a good thing DeSantis has a good lead going in to the vote because this ‘ad’ is sucking wind.
Trump’s mouth is a problem, and also his habit of suddenly and unexpectedly turning on people because he sees them as rivals and doesn’t realize the importance of at least the appearance of party unity.
DeSantis is running for governor and Trump isn’t running for anything - except in his own mind, where he’s already trying to take out rivals in a race he may not even join.
Trump needs a lot of support right now against the attacks on him led by the Dems, and this certainly isn’t going to help. I think it was one of the reasons for his difficulties while in office, too…he had made a lot of unnecessary personal enemies and when he needed support, it wasn’t there.
“Trump needs a lot of support right now against the attacks on him led by the Dems, and this certainly isn’t going to help.”
You’re right. This won’t help at ALL.
But the people who will be hurt the most are the ones he’s endorsed for Tuesday’s election.
Now, instead of them spending three days addressing the issues, they’ll have to waste time defending him. He couldn’t have waited one week before saying this? ONE WEEK?
Trump’s little shot over Ron’s bow was warning shot. Ron is getting to big for his britches.
“And DeSantis in 2028.”
Maybe. He’s done some great things as governor, for sure.
But if 2028 comes down to a race between DeSantis and Lake, right now I’d choose Lake. Of course, that depends on her actions and success as governor.
The fewer years a candidate has been associated with the deep state, the better, IMO.
Desantis wants it too much. It’s not a good look.
Agree 100% about Lake/DeSantis. I pray she is a kick-ass ultra conservative governor. Good training for bigger things in her future.
The crowd was silent after his “joke”.
I think our talent IS “on loan from God” — each person’s unique gift He gives to us. I didn’t watch the ad yet so don’t know how the ad compares with Rush’s schtick.
Tried listening/watching the DeSantis video……….couldn’t take much of it….
…a wannabe Paul Harvey
I’m gratified DeSantis has been and is a good Governor.
Imo, he is NOT Presidential material yet!
TRUMP all the way for me…..and yes, I believe he will run
***I actually see Kari Lake possibilities in the future……we shall wait.
What you say is true. Ron has a smugness about him, like he knows that something is going on behind the scene that we don’t know. (It probably is — Ryan, McCarthy, etc., finangling.)
I just wish PDJT had bitten his tongue and waited a week to take the shot across the bow. Too much important stuff going on right now to concentrate on.
Very creepy
True. And his time will come — later. Being desperate now isn’t a good look.
