Donald Trump likes to make up nicknames for his enemies, and Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis is one of them.
Trump mocked him as Ron DeSanctimonious in a rally speech Saturday in Pennsylvania, where the former president boasted about his poll numbers, but did not give the source of the figures.
The nickname was not completely new.
Roger Stone warned "Ron DeSanctimonious" in a Telegram post that it would be "treachery" if he ran against Trump. Stone said that he owes his position to Trump.
In his speech, Trump launched a dig against the congressman, then moved onto his amazing poll numbers, which suggest he may be about to announce his candidacy. It wasn't clear where the numbers came from.
As the numbers went up on a jumbo screen, Trump said, "We're winning big, big, big in the Republican party."
It's Trump at 71 percent. Trump said that Ron DeSanctimonious was at 10%. He told the crowd that Mike Pence was doing better than he thought.
