The rise of Ron DeSanctimonious

Nov 9th 2022

 

Ever since he lost his re-election bid in 2020 Donald Trump has been waiting to unload on Ron DeSantis. Mr Trump wants to reclaim the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. Florida’s popular Republican governor is by far his biggest rival for it, and Mr Trump cannot stomach a rival of any kind. Yet the former president held his fire, hoping his former protégé could be persuaded to back down—right until the eve of the midterms. “If he runs he could hurt himself very badly”, he told Fox News, as Floridians were queuing up to vote. “I would tell you things about him that won’t be very flattering.” …

The HILL

With ‘DeSanctimonious’ jab, Trump channels Joseph McCarthy

BY PAUL C. ATKINSON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 11/08/22 3:00 PM ET

 

Always alert to an opportunity to position himself at center stage, former President Trump held a rally on Saturday in Latrobe, Pa.

 

Ostensibly a platform for the Republican candidacies of Mehmet Oz for senator and Doug Mastriano for governor, Trump turned the gathering into a promotion for his own 2024 presidential restoration.

 

“We’re winning big, big, big in the Republican Party for the nomination like nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump said, referencing an unspecified poll. “There it is — Trump at 71. Ron DeSanctimonious at 10 percent.”

 

This broadside sparked immediate speculation of a brewing feud between the former president and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a one-time Trump protege who is running for reelection and is seen as his leading challenger for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. DeSantis has not pledged to abandon his candidacy in the event Trump announces a bid.

 

Several conservative commentators voiced disappointment at Trump’s sarcasm and divisiveness on the eve of a crucial set of midterms. Toning it down on Sunday, he urged voters in Miami to back DeSantis for reelection.

 

But while he might not realize it, Trump’s “sanctimonious” jab echoed language used by another controversial Republican seven decades ago on a televised stage that contributed to his ultimate demise.
