Trump’s sharpest nickname for GovRonDeSantis is neither “DeSanctimonious” nor “Meatball Ron.” Trump is running against someone named 'Ryan DeSantis.' That would be former House Speaker PRyan, whom he is trying to make DeSantis’s running mate.
Former President Donald Trump’s sharpest nickname for Gov. Ron DeSantis is neither “DeSanctimonious” nor “Meatball Ron.” Trump is running against someone named"Ryan DeSantis."
It’s a long way away from when Newt Gingrich, a former Republican House speaker who got in trouble for trying to curb entitlement spending, criticized Ryan’s Medicare reforms as “right-wing social engineering” and heard from an angry Iowa voter. Then Sen. John Sununu echoed complaints that Gingrich was “undercutting” Ryan.
DeSantis, Trump said Monday night, is a “disciple” of Ryan’s who wanted to “decimate” entitlement programs that benefit senior citizens. The Biden White House has contended Trump did not keep his 2016 campaign promises to eschew entitlement cuts during his first term. Trump also worked closely with Ryan on tax cuts, which became law, and Obamacare repeal, which largely did not but did pass the House.
The same night Trump bludgeoned DeSantis as a Ryan-aligned establishment stooge, the Florida governor told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he disagreed with Biden about the war in Ukraine.
