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.
