Late night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel reacted to reports that former President Donald Trump has coined a new nickname for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“We learned from The New York Times over the weekend that Trump’s new nickname for Ron DeSantis is ‘Meatball Ron,’” Kimmel said on his show Tuesday.
They lying NYT is feeding this eh? Ok…keep on regurgibleating it…orange man baaa, baaa, baaad.
Well he’s done Ron DeSanctimonious (D minus in my book) so he’s for sure looking at nicknames. I think he could do way better than that or Meatball Ron (B minus).
It very much sounds like a Trump comment but I also believe it’d be a mistake. He doesn’t need to divide R voters but…NYT does have that motivation, plus they’re known liars. I’ll have to wait for a more credible source to confirm it before I believe it.
Smyrna, he’s gonna spend the next two years attacking all other contenders and Ron will get the worst of it as he’s the most electable candidate. He’ll use the same tactics that helped him beat his opponents in 2016- nicknames, belittling insults, etc. Its his trademark. We’ll see if it works for him again this time.
‘Look, the president called me and said, “Anything you need.” I have not called him back after that conversation. We will not hesitate to do that if we’re seeing a problem or anything, but I’m not seeing it.’
— Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine
