The Real Reason Trump Is Calling DeSantis ‘Meatball Ron’

For Donald Trump, the first step is always to label his victim. Indeed, assigning a good bad nickname appears to be a sine qua non in the Trump playbook. Once he gets that part right, the job is half-done.
For example, “Crazy Joe” (which gave way to the superior “Sleepy Joe”) never resonated the way “Crooked Hillary” (or Lyin’ Ted, “Low Energy Jeb,” and Lil’ Marco) did. And now that “Meatball Ron” has become his leading moniker for Ron DeSantis, Trump might have landed on another keeper.
The acceptance of the moniker "meatball Ron" continues gaining acceptance exponentially all over the media, it may prove to be Desantis's demise as it makes him look buffoonish and not a person to be seriously considered for office.
