“We’ve got a long last name. European name, Steinhauser. There’s been some confusion over your last name and the pronunciation and I’m just wondering to correct the record, what is it?” Fox News’s Paul Steinhauser asked DeSantis on Thursday.
“Oh, it’s ridiculous. These stupid things. Listen, the way to pronounce my last name — winner,” DeSantis told Steinhauser.

People should read the kassam tweet replies, some of them are pretty humorous.
Intelligent post!
So how do you pronounce your last name, Mr. Steinhauser?
stinehoser
stinehauser
stinehouser
steenhoser
steenhauser
steenhouser
Or do you respond to any version of the above?
I think Trump has it about right.
He’s declaring himself to be a natural-born winner. Which is fine, as far as it goes. But has DeSantis thought this through?
Saying you are a winner is not the same as being a winner. Winners generally set themselves up to win, before actually winning. Trump has done that, in particular when it comes to competition for the Pubbie POTUS nomination. His mowing down of ¡Jeb! is the template, and damned if it doesn’t look if Trump is setting DeSantis up for the same date as Jeb Bush.
Jeb was thought to be a winner early. But, boy howdy, did he go splat, and in a big hurry.
A true JEB! moment.
That's Shternhoyseh to you.
This is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. It’s “DSantis.” No vowel sound at all. At least in the New York Italian dialect. Just like “Byzantine” isn’t pronounced “Byezantine” or “Beezantine,” but you might get a little bit of an “i” sound shifting straight from B or D to Z, as in “Bizzantine,” but it’s closer to “Bzantine.” Likewise, you might get “DiSantis,” which always screws me up because I gew up with people named “DiSantos.” But they were “Dssantowess,” too.

Hit return and Meant to correct that and posted the wrong thing twice.
Meant to DiSantos was more “Dssantss” than “Dissantowess,” so comes out the same as “DeSantis.”
More like: Listen, the way to pronounce his last name — delusional.
De nada.
Is his name pronounced DeSantis or DiShonest?;-)
This ought to be inconsequential, but he’s down in Kamala Harris territory here.
“So how do you pronounce your last name, Mr. Steinhauser?”
Pronounced as if doing an Arnold parody, and it would be close.
I do not think Gov. DeSantis will ever be president.
I also do not think President Trump will ever again be president.
I further think no America First Republican will ever be president.
I think the only ‘Republican’ that could possibly ever again become president is a Uniparty Republican along the lines of a Mit Romney.
It’s pronounced
“Ron DeJebBush”.
There is a consonantal shift by way of Italy to New York to Florida, with input from the Bush-Mexico-Houston-fake Midland TX accent kitchen cabinet.
