Trump's latest round of insults for GovRonDeSantis include Trump’s favorite — Ron DeSanctimonious — as well as, Trump allies say, newcomers “Ron DisHonest,” “Ron DeEstablishment,” and “Tiny D.”
While the Republican field is still sparse, challengers to the party’s leader are starting to file in, with at least one conspicuous absence. Even if Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t confirmed he is running to dethrone Trump, the former president is treating his former protege as his chief rival.From his home base at Mar-a-Lago, Trump has been workshopping new monikers for his state’s leader, according to Bloomberg.
DeSantis rose to national prominence during the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic when he took a hard line on reopening public spaces, schools, and businesses while much of the country remained sheltered in place. The Florida governor, who rode his popularity to a stunning 19-point victory in November, has touted his record, though his claims have drawn sharp criticism from Trump.
More recently, Trump has done his best to tie DeSantis to the “establishment” Republicans he ran successfully against in 2016. Trump has highlighted DeSantis’s ties to House Speaker Paul Ryan, and played up former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s praise for his predecessor as a point against the current Florida governor.
