President Trump Takes Major Jab At DeSantis During PA Rally

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”.

Trump made the comments while discussing a current poll for the Republican Party nomination in 2024.

Just in case you’re unfamiliar with the word, sanctimonious means to be “self-righteous”.

In recent weeks Trump has made it clear that there is some tension between him and DeSantis.

It all started when Trump stated it was a “big mistake” for DeSantis to endorse Republican Joe O’Dea in Colorado’s Senate race.

Days later Trump would share a video of Megyn Kelly saying that DeSantis has no chance against Trump in a Republican primary.

The biggest sign there’s a fracture between the two is DeSantis wasn’t invited to Trump’s rally in Miami on November 6th.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Florida was one of the freest states due to DeSantis’ policies.

Trump even previously endorsed DeSantis in his 2018 race which ultimately pushed DeSantis into office.

This raises a major question, does Trump know something about DeSantis that we don’t?

Several pundits responded to President Trump’s swipe at Governor DeSantis.

Here are a few:

Folks, I don’t really care for whom you vote. But don’t delude yourselves into pretending it isn’t #NeverTrump behind the push for Ron DeSantis to fracture the party in a primary if and when Trump obviously runs.

It most definitely is them to include McCarthy and McConnell.

Mitch McConnell’s former chief of staff and campaign manager, right here, and retweeted by Byron York with the quickness.

I have to be brutally honest, I’m a little surprised the party who beat Fox New is gearing up to potentially fall for this plan.

He knows full well, folks. https://t.co/yyTaSgEbyL

I’m pretty sure Ron “DeSanctimonious” would have fired Chris Wray, just sayin’
