Former President Donald Trump lashed out once again at his new 2024 campaign rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis—this time for seemingly altering the way he says his name.
“Have you heard that ‘Rob’ DeSanctimonious wants to change his name, again?” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, without any official word from the Florida governor. “He is demanding that people call him DeeeSantis, rather than DaSantis. Actually, I like ‘Da’ better, a nicer flow, so I am happy he is changing it. He gets very upset when people, including reporters, don’t pronounce it correctly. Therefore, he shouldn’t mind, DeSanctimonious?”
In the past, DeSantis has pronounced his name in a number of variations including “Dee-Santis” which he used regularly during his first congressional campaign in 2012. He has also used “Deh-Santis,” throughout the years, and is used by his wife, Casey according to a 2018 piece in the Tampa Bay Times, but DeSantis has not commented officially. Then-campaign communications director Stephen Lawson conceded at the time “it’s also been a little controversial for us on the campaign trail,” adding, “He uses Dee-Santis,” however wife Casey apparently disagreed.

Making fun of others just goes to prove that one is not competent to be a leader.
He’s not making fun of the original Desantis. He’s making fun of the Desantis actor who changed the name.
EGOMANIAC – stop your babytalk – grow up so that Americans can have a real leader
Don’t you understand? Trump ONLY made fun of actors. This is clear proof that it’s a facemask under this Desantis.
Can we please have mature adult running and please Hashem, winning,the presidency
I get racey and call him Dīsantós. Or I think I want to elect him and I call him Dėsantïs.
I have to figure out my vote.
Something weird about DeSantis, it’s going to come out. Just ask his staff.
Actors do act weird – think Biden.
