Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said this week that former President Trump’s taunts regarding his last name are “petty” and “juvenile.”

“I think it’s so petty. I think it’s so juvenile. I don’t think that’s what voters want,” DeSantis told Jack Heath on “The Pulse of New Hampshire.”

Trump recently mocked DeSantis for the pronunciation of his last name and referred to the Florida governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious,” a nickname the former president frequently uses.

DeSantis told Heath that Trump’s behavior is one of the reasons why he lost the 2020 presidential election.

“Everyone who disagrees with DJT has BACKSTABBED him. Even Kayleigh! lol”

I’d be clinically paranoid too if I were Trump.

No, RON disarmed Trump. In a way, since he never responded to this nuttiness until now.

Me, with Trump and DeSantis supporters...

[the OlLine Rebel]

Great. Paranoid in addition to narcissistic.

[joesbucks]

DeSantis doesn’t get it. The base likes a Presidential candidate that’s main calling card is sophomoric name calling or making petty issues major ones.

“petty” and “juvenile” are Trump’s middle names - why is anyone surprised.

Trump should save the vitriol for the filthy democrats and lay off the good guys in this movie. He’s liable to lose a shitpot of support if he doesn’t.

And the reverse is true, DeSantis lost many loyal Trump supporters for stabbing Trump in the back.

[right way right]

DeSantis should just come up with a name for Trump.
Join the fun.

Yep, either Mr. President or 47 works

[Reno89519]

We need a president who is presidential, Trump is not.

[dfwgator]

Good luck finding one.

In French and Italian this is common format.

Not sure now, but I think the original name format would have in this case a small "d" and a space.

[steel_resolve]

If you take that as an insult to Italians, that is on you. I personally think he looks like a giant meatball. That huge engine-sized head of his and his stupid guffaws where hw unhooks his jaw to laugh, all remind me of meatballs.

[steel_resolve]

lol me too

[right way right]

RonnyD should call Trump either Frump or Trumpet Buttface ...:something like that.

Ron is a Desantimonious stiff...another part of the ‘why’ of the low numbers.

Reallly, they should both be demanding a debate.

Are you saying the Obama years were ok? Trump was the fresh air after him and Bush. You’re obviously not retired and on a fixed income are you?
You obviously haven’t been kicked off your property insurance. Still waiting for RDS to straighten that out.
