Trump is Already Having a Field Day With Ron DeSantis.

The botched campaign launch gave him a lot of material.

As if it wasn’t satisfying enough to know that Ron DeSantis’ campaign is essentially over before it even started, it was impossible not to enjoy the fact that his announcement with Elon Musk on ‘Twitter Spaces’ went about as terrible as one would expect. They were delayed, the server crashed, there were hot mics galore, and it was an absolute disaster.

Obviously Donald Trump was going to run with it, right?

Well, run with it he did.

Donald Trump was flooding Truth Social with videos mocking the debacle, some of which were downright funny. The former President is having a field day, and personally I’m not sure there’s anything Trump’s looking forward to more than the ability to really attack DeSantis the way he has so clearly wanted to probably ever since he left office.

So, how’s DeSantis responded?

The Independent reports:

“…Fresh off the heels of a glitchy announcement about his bid for the Republican nomination for 2024, Mr DeSantis was asked about Mr Trump’s myriad nicknames for him (which include, but are not limited to, Meatball Ron, Ron DeSanctimonious, Tiny D, and RonDishonest) and laughed them off.
