Ron DeSantis is the latest politician to fall victim to one of Trump’s famous nicknames.
In times past Trump has coined Low Energy Jeb, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Little Marco Rubio, and the list goes on and on.
During last night’s rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Trump surprisingly gave Ron DeSantis the nickname “Ron DeSanctimonious”.
“We’re winning big in the Republican Party for the nomination like nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump told a crowd in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night before going down the list of other Republicans who could potentially challenge him in 2024.
Between the two I trust Trump more, and he did a great job running this country while opening our eyes to all the corruption.
And DeSantis has done a great job here in FL, so far.
Time will tell.

It would not be credible to believe that RINOs are not seeking to use desantis as a wedge to weaken Trump/the MAGA movement.
Obviously they would have to offer desantis something. He should not even appear to be interested in taking that something.
Desantis would be a sucker to cooperate with them.
Too early to tell. As observed above, Trump is not one to bite his tongue and wait for something overt to materialize.

Let's not get ahead or ourselves. An actual red wave Tuesday will set a tone for the next two years as the criminal old media bastids go supernova. Hopefully they'll have enough rope to hang themselves for all to see but their resources are daunting. Buckle up.

Reagan's 11th commandment
"Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."
Granted, that some deserve it. But Trump, unnecessary, drew first blood. It was uncalled for. And this is exactly the behavior that turns of many, many Republicans.

#6.. DeSantis drew 1st blood. He jumped on W Bush's band wagon a day after Bush held a rally for Odea in Colorado. Odea is a very loud anti President Trump and a close friend of Romneys yet DeSantis needlessly and very openly threw his support for the Ben Sasse wannabe.

I'm beginning to feel like I grew up in another Era. In my day, while nicknames were used to taunt, they were also used affectionately. My dad had a friend nicknamed, "Mouse". He was 6'-6" and 280 lbs. Another friend was "Monk" as he had an eye for the ladies, but also a fine sense of justice. There were others.
Nicknames are used to taunt but they also reflect truth. DeSantis IS "sanctimonious" as he walks a straight, justified and Godly path. Trump would never claim to be Godly. His life has been to close to our enemies. But he can admire and tease someone who is admirable.

Too often Donald Trump makes fun of people for no good reason. I do not recall Ronald Reagan ever doing that. Ron DeSantis is not Sanctimonious. Given his accomplishments, he's extremely humble and personal.
Donald Trump was a great president and would be again if elected, but he needs to keep his snide comments to himself far more often. I believe Trump's criticism of John McCain is the reason McCain got out of his sickbed in Arizona, traveled to DC, and cast the deciding vote that prevented the repeal of Obamacare. Ergo: because of Trump's needless criticism of McCain, healthcare in the United States is far worse than before Obamacare and is getting worse week by week.

There will be plenty of time to vet DeSantis AFTER Tuesday. I am very worried about Trump starting a war between him and DeSantis, now 48 hours before the most critical election in our lifetime. That little dig at DeSantis was ill timed, unnecessary and quite frankly, bitchy. It is red meat for the traitorous media to pivot the story away from a Republican red wave, to Trump's bitchy comment. And given how close some of these races are, it's likely, true or not, Trump would be blamed for any losses. That would be absolutely tragic.
As our beloved Rush Limbaugh once said: The only one that can separate Trump from his supporters is Trump. None of us ever wants to see that happen.

If Trump and his ego continue down this path I’m off him. I’ve supported him to date. But he’s like a bull in the China shop. He has No statesman qualities. Zero! No humility. Zero. It’s all about him. He’s reactive, not a thinker. His rallies are repetitive and stagnant.. Same old same old. Worse yet, it’s all about him and the past. Nothing new and stimulating. Worse yet, He’l give the democrats issues that no other candidate could. They have no issues now, but they will have if he gets the nomination.
Desantis is where most Republican voters see the future. He’s a proven executive with a great portfolio.
I’m definitely Getting sick of Trump. And we’re two years out. Watch him implode day by day. The sooner the better if we’re to have a chance in 24. I’m sick of these people who think you’re a rino if you don’t support Trump.
If I could buy Trump for what he’s worth, and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth, I’d be a rich man.

Lot's of Rinos on the board this Sunday. If DeSantis thinks getting into bed with the Rinos is good for business, he will be sadly mistaken. And will also mean he was never a maga republican anyway. I can say if the Trumpster gets railroaded going into 2024 the maga folks will abandon the party and whoever they pick to run for president. We ain't playing that game anymore. Just because the demorats take the black vote for granted doesn't mean the rinos can expect the true maga crowd to blindly follow along.

Perhaps James Woods said it best:
The great Ronald Reagan said that Republicans should never disparage each other. This was not a good moment.
Incidentally, Woods isn’t a “RINO,” either.

I love how some are ready to throw Trump use the bus over this. If not for Trump standing up and taking the heat the last 5 years, DeSantis, not any of the current Republicans, would have a chance in the midterms or in 24. We get McConnell RINOs. So, sorry, not "over" Trump.

By the way, neither Reagan nor James Woods is infallible. And while the left suffered their own derangement syndrome where Reagan was concerned (and still haven't recovered from it), it WAS a very different political and social world and atmosphere then.

Trump will never trust or support DeSantis because DeSantis endorsed the republican candidate for Senate in Colorado, O'Dea, sho said he would "actively campaign against Trump." So, DeSantis decided to fire the first shot, if you will. As usual, Trump did not throw the first punch; he counter-punched. DeSantis brought it on himself, but by the time the politickin' for President gets serious, nobody but the democrats will remember, and no one will care all that much. Remember, Trump threw a real haymaker at Cruz and after a bit, Cruz came around and all was forgiven. Same with "Little Mario."

Earlier this year, as noted by Fox, DeSantis dismissed rumors of a rift with Trump, saying the former president is a “friend of mine,” adding that he [Trump] “wants to see Republicans doing well.” Then this:
And I think when the media is trying to act like he’s upset at me for doing well, I think that’s total bunk. I think they’re just making it up.
Governor? Do you still think “they’re just making it up”? And do you think Trump wants you to do well?
I’m talking about the Florida governor’s race, here. The de facto head of the Republican Party (at least in the minds of some people), mocking and ridiculing a Republican governor running for re-election on Tuesday is poor form at best, and self-centered at its worst.

Years ago there was a real blowhard guy here at LCom. But he dropped one wise gem: “What Peter says about Paul says more about Peter than it does about Paul.”
PDJT’s swipe at RDS was gratuitous -totally unnecessary. I have been a Trump supporter. Sillly stuff like this does put some potential voters off. No one can afford to do that.

25,
If that is true, then this is still junior high behavior from Trump.
It is appearing more and more that Trump's love of his nation is eclipsed only by his love of self.
This kind of stuff is the mark of immaturity. Trump cannot turn the other cheek nor ignore even the slightest hint of criticism.
A mature person would go about his business and not behave like a child in the back seat of the car, calling people names for the slightest of provocations.
I voted twice for him. I will vote a third time if it comes to that unless his narcissism reaches a Perot-like magnitude and he tries to form a third party. In that case I would campaign against him because no third party has ever done anything other than get liberals elected. Had it not been for Ross Perot, "Hillary Clinton" would the a difficult answer at a Tuesday night trivia game at the local pizza place and not the screaming BIAPS she is now. Yes... the B is on purpose.

If RD thinks he can go head to head with PDJT he is sadly mistaken. Should he run against PDJT in 24 RD will be destroyed politicly forever. PDJT is a fighter and not one to let things simmer.
RD needs to take care of Florida (the job he is campaigning for) back PDJT to the hilt and prepare for 2028. If he stays in bed w/rinos his career is toast.
I would have preferred remarks such as this come after mid-term but I'm with PDJT warts and all.

You have GOT to be kidding me, #13. The reason we have Obamacare is because Trump was mean to John McCain?? John McCain would’ve drug his dying body to Mar a Lago in order to screw Trump over—criticism or not—because John McCain was a nasty, bitter old man. And, the reason our healthcare is getting worse by the day is because money is the bottom line, supported by woke medical policies and administrators. I’ve been reading some disturbing things about Governor “Humble and Personable,” and am going to be very careful with my support.

Wow! I never would have believed it! My fellow posters willing to diss President Trump after one remark about a fellow republican, a popular governor. Would you all feel so kindly towards someone who you helped become the governor of your State and then he publicly supported an arch enemy of yours to be elected to the U.S. Senate, where he can cause you and your family years of trouble? I don't think so.
Check your heart for mercy and don't be so quick to judge.
One day you might need that mercy for yourself.....And as for President Trump's ego, it's that ego that has sustained him for the past 6 years to endure the attacks on his personhood. Could you endure that? I don't think so! So look in the mirror and ask yourself, are you being fair to this man, Donald J. Trump?

#31~ Excellent! Well said. Thank you!
President Trump has put himself, his family, and his business empire in harm’s way because he loves this country and wants to restore the freedoms, morality, opportunities and values that made this country great. The rapid-fire denunciation of President Trump is sickening and raises the question of how many individuals sitting in condemnation of this man have reaped the harvest of what he has sown. To list a few:
* US stock market continually hits all-time record highs.
* Trump finalized the creation of Space Force as our 6th Military branch.
* Under Trump’s leadership, in 2018 the U.S. surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest producer of crude oil.
* He signed a bill allowing some drug imports from Canada so that prescription prices would go down.
* He created a White House VA Hotline to help veterans and principally staffed it with veterans and direct family members of veterans.
* Issued an executive order requiring the Secretaries of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs to submit a joint plan to provide veterans access to access to mental health treatment as they transition to civilian life.
* The poverty rate fell to a 17-year low of 11.8% under the Trump administration as a result of a jobs-rich environment.
* More than 7 million jobs created since election.
* More than 400,000 manufacturing jobs created since his election.
* President Trump has called on Congress to pass school choice legislation so that no child is trapped in a failing school because of his or her zip code.
* The President signed funding legislation in September 2018 that increased funding for school choice by $42 million.
* The tax cuts signed into law by President Trump promote school choice by allowing families to use 529 college savings plans for elementary and secondary education.
* Signed the first Perkins CTE reauthorization since 2006, authorizing more than $1 billion for states each year to fund vocational and career education programs.
* Executive order expanding apprenticeship opportunities for students and workers.
* Trump issued an Executive Order prohibiting the U.S. government from discriminating against Christians or punishing expressions of faith.

Nothing DJT says is without reason. He knows what is going on behind the scenes with the power brokers in the GOPe. They have been giving millions to DeSantis and that money of course comes with strings attached. Instead of listening to Trump, start listening to DeSantis. He is not giving support/credit to Trump. He barely condemned the raid on Mar A Lago in a speech he gave a few days after the raid.
I believe the latest comment from Trump was in response to the video “God Made A Fighter” that was made showing DeSantis as the second coming. Don’t get me wrong..I think he is a great governor but if you recall, he backed Trumps polices throughout the pandemic. He owes his position to DJTs support.
The powers behind this rift are the anti MAGA group. Don’t fall for it. When Trump announces he is running again in a few days, let’s see what DeSantis says about it. If he doesn’t come out immediately saying he supports him, we know who is pulling his strings.

DeSantis is no longer his own man/candidate. He is being 'managed' by choice: He is being told what to say and what to do and when. In doing so, he turned his back on Trump "who helped him win a REALLY tight race." All he had to do was serve out his 2nd term as FL governor, and Trump would have most likely helped him become president in 2028.
And suddenly Trump is the one being vilified for an amusing and ACCURATE nickname he gave to DeSantis?

I want to see Trump get his third, er, second term. DeSantis is young and I don't know his views on any foreign policies. Yes, he's a Navy veteran but so is Dan Crenshaw and like Rep Waltz of Florida (R), they can't vote enough times for more "aid" to Ukraine. SO I don't fall for the schtick that it takes a veteran, someone who actually served in combat, to know what is best about supporting foreign interventions.
Trump and his family have been through the fire and more. DeSantis has a young family and you know they will go after him and his wife viciously. Attacking him about his wife's breast cancer is child games to the Dems/Left in this country. DeSantis has many years ahead of him to pursue Presidential ambitions. If he wins re-election of Governor is he going to only serve half a term to run for President?
As for the nicknames, that's Trump style.

Narratives that trivialize Trump are flat out deceitful. Since Reagan, immaturity has reigned in the White House. Trump is the exception. America has declined because pretentious people forced misbegotten actions on an unsuspecting and gullible public. Trump is the antidote, awaking us to reality and showing the way forward. He is a fine person, not a narcissist like those in the Democrat cabal. Frankly, the Democrat Part is a group of inflated simpletons. Reality has no place in their world view. Trump has a genuine sense of humour (like Reagan), also a rarity. The nicknames he assigns have been effective to good purpose. His nickname for DeSantis is inside baseball that we shouldn't make presumptive remarks about. Trump's talk is straight in contrast to the pomposities spewed by the likes of Schumer, Obama, et al.

I'm with Trump all the way. It's tiring listening to people saying, he's a bull in a china closet, mean tweets, no class well then Joe Biden must be your guy. Some people forget how good the nation was for four years while Trump walked around with daggers in his back he still performed and will do it again. DeSantis needs to keep Florida in focus there is recovery work to do democrats love republicans infighting. Don't take the bait I recall Ted Cruz had to think about it after Trump massaged the situation between therm.

If DeSantis is tightroping his policies to appeal to the monied Elites there could be some problems in the future for him. I don't see anyone stopping Trump and DeS would be wise to let Pres Trump chop out all the RINOS and then have his own 8 years.
In my mind the question is, does he shoot for VP, or stay in Flo? That might give Trump's VP an advantage. Or maybe not! Look at Pence. He's day old burnt toast. That whole thing starts Wed!

Governor DeSantis has been wonderful for Florida and will certainly get my vote... but I am concerned to hear he might be "playing politics" by supporting any Rinos. We must have the best-possible Chief Executive Officer to combat what the rotten Left has done... and I believe that is Trump.

John McCain got off his death bed to cast the deciding vote for the Democrats because he was a querulous old man, who took pride in being a jerk. And if the truth were known, his daughter and wife probably encouraged him to do it and helped him off the bed. He was probably half demented at the time, to boot. Which is another example of why we need to get all those fossils like McConnell, Feinstein, Pelosi, Hoyer, Grassley, etc out of Congress. Old people start acting like children. But unlike children, their brainwave activity is not increasing, but decreasing and ar risk of sudden drop-off.

When there was no outcry from the Mar a Lago break-in, I was very disappointed in RD. That was probably when I realized there may be some contention between the men. In my conspiratorial thinking, RD has been approached by the enemy and somehow convinced that DJT won't be back in office, so he had better ditch him now. And prepare for his own ascendancy (like Liz). Ha ha! The Governorship will be his niche.
It will become more clear in the days ahead. Trump has called him out for a reason. Don't kid yourself that it was immature name calling.

The man is toxic … period. He’s going to put the nation through hell again because he can’t control ANYTHING. He’s the absolute worst at hiring good people and walks around with his head in the clouds. DeSantis is a good man, Trump is not. I’ll be supporting and voting for Trump in 2024, but I wish he wasn’t such a d-bag.

Maybe he shouldn't have done this three days before the elections but Trump calls it as he sees it - Lotsa backstabbers out there - Trump stays at least 3 steps ahead - He has our backs - Democrats and many Republicans don’t - he keeps us informed in a subtle entertaining way and he obviously knows something. Don't get me wrong I like what DeSantis has done with Florida but there are some big issues lately that gives me concerns about his intentions!
