As we approach the 2024 election cycle it is starting to look pretty certain that the Republican nomination is going to come down to former President Donald John Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
As a Floridian I have nothing but good things to say about Governor DeSantis. That being said, President Trump has always been real with the American people. Sure, he made some mistakes, however, I do think that everything Trump did during his term was what he honestly believed was in the best interest of this nation.
Trump has always been famous for giving catchy nicknames for his opponents, however, his latest nickname, this one for his potential rival, Ron DeSantis has been ruffling some feathers among the conservative base.
What do you think? Who do you want to win in 2024, Ronald or Donald?
Fox News reported:
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.
“Trump is going to eat that meatball like a snack,” he joked.
Colbert also focused in on “Meatball Ron,” a moniker which he called an act of “crystallized genius.”
“Ooh!” the comedian exclaimed.
“I do not like how much I love that! It’s so dumb and accurate.”
Colbert proceeded to sing a parody version of the song “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel.
“Meatball Ron! He’s a walking, talking beef baton.”
On Twitter, “The Late Show’s” official account wrote that “Meatball Ron” was “[u]nfortunatley,” a “really great nickname.”
Radio personality and “Life, Liberty and Levin” host Mark Levin argued that the pejorative was bad strategy on Trump’s part.
“I happen to like Meatballs. But this will turn off a lot of conservative voters. Not a wise move if true. I hope it’s not.”
