Ron is right. This is one of the things that really bugs me about Trump; he can be very petty at times.

Petty...but usually funny.

RDS is probably stuck with Meatball.

+1, it’s often juvenile but occasionally funny

Agree 100%. I listened to part of DeSantis’ speech today and it was so refreshing to listen to solutions with no whining and name calling.

There is nothing petty nor juvenile about calling out someone who changes the pronunciation of their own name. Such an affectation points to shallow character at best, being untrustworthy most likely.

I understand someone changing pronunciation of their name if they move to a country where the word may have a different meaning but what DeSantis shows we're not dealing with him but with his handlers. He's just another actor in government pretending to serve his constituents while actually serving those who are pulling his strings.

It's not a coincidence that Kamala Harris got caught doing the same thing. (Kuh-mal-uh vs Kaa-mell-uh)

“Ron is right. “

I think he’s half-right. The mocking is indeed petty and juvenile but DeSantis lowers himself by bringing it up. If he wants to bring it up he should joke about it or make up a nickname for Trump.
