'Florida was doing GREAT long before Ron DeSanctus got there,' Trump said in a post on his Truth Social site on Tuesday.
And now that "Meatball Ron" has become his leading moniker for Ron DeSantis, Trump might have landed on another keeper.
Just a ... mixed-up ... pile of words. Like she is
Mr. Trump, who had privately discussed the idea of Mr. Kennedy as a running mate, echoed what Democrats have been saying for months about Mr. Kennedy's candidacy — that it could swing the election. He also appeared to be adopting a new derisive nickname for him. "A Vote for Junior' would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him," he said.
"Jerome 'Too Late' Powell has done it again!!! He is TOO LATE, and actually, TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job of Fed Chair," Trump posted to Truth Social on Thursday morning.
'I call him Little Ben Sasse,' Trump said. 'I have to do it, I'm sorry. That's when my religion always deserts me.'
To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle', not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle' Adam Schiff.
"I think they have to become the 51st state," he said during a speech on Thursday in Washington. "And you heard the people booing the national anthem, but I think ultimately they'll be praising the national anthem." Mr. Trump went on to refer to Mr. Trudeau as "governor," which he has done often in recent weeks.
"I heard poorly rated Morning Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!" Trump tweeted.
'This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!' Trump said in a series of tweets.
Little @MacMiller sent me an expensive plaque for making his song "Donald Trump" such a big hit.
Low ratings CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!
'MSDNC isn't here as well,' Trump quipped
'The actual conspiracy to defraud the United States was the Democrats rigging the Election, and the Fake News Media and the Unselect Committee covering it up,' he said.
'Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the 'N word' (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?' Trump wrote on June 23.
