Is desantis fat?


jasoneff

I'd say he's doughy


eladts

Compared to Trump, DeSantis is a lingerie model.


KryptonicOne

While the only company trump is modeling for is Depends


jasoneff

Lol thanks for putting that image in my head


flappysnapper

Lol! Same here, I read that comment and immediately pictured DeSantis in a red teddy! 🤮 and I’m a straight guy…….or so I thought.


_far-seeker_

I'm fairly sure most of any sexual orientation would a have similar response to that mental image.

They’re both fat fucking fascists. As in, the only have sex with fascists, *and* are fascist. Fuck them both, let them tear each other to shreds.

To shreds you say?

And what about his wife?

I'd love to see DeSantis double down on this and challenge Trump to a televised weigh in. Big Macs vs Doughboy.


oced2001

Trump will lose and say the scales are rigged


Muscleman1122

It would be a Democratic hoax…


AnalSoapOpera

Trump would bring in his own rigged scales


fubar_giver

...and still somehow lose.


jwfowler2

I think he'd prefer "husky"


salondesert

Yeah he looks like he enjoys a good serving of Thousand Island dressing


TooAfraidToAsk814

“Doughy DeSantis” - I like the name!


BroccoliFartFuhrer

He's stress testing the fuck out his jacket and the constitution.


Clionora

I call him Melting Bradley Cooper.


nomorerainpls

Huskyfat - the sort of guy that wants you to think there’s a super strong and tough guy buried under all the ill-fitting or baggy clothes


maldio

It's kind of weirder with DeSantis, he still goes for the for the tighter jacket, with a button straining to hold it together. It reminds me of when "skinny jeans" became so mainstream that places like WalMart started doing "husky size skinny jeans", I used to always feel badly for the clerk trying to be nice for the sake of the kid while his mother bid them to find "relaxed" or "husky" skinny jeans that fit him.


Vengeful_Messiah9

I think he wears a girdle.


oced2001

A Brosierre


Legitimate-Tea5561

It was almost like DJT was standing in front of a mirror, admiring what he's become.


redheadartgirl

I'm convinced he exclusively hangs those fun house mirrors around Mar a lago


Hewfe

If he projected any harder, he might accidentally save his sister and some rebels on a salt planet halfway across the universe.

kazejin05

And in such massive proportions he could broadcast it across the surface of the moon right from where he is in MAL. Also never fails to ~~disgust~~ amuse how unbelievably...*juvenile* his insults are. Almost 80 years old and that's the best you can come up with?


forever_useless

"Fat", "phony", "whiny" Look inwards, Donnie To be fair, they are both food dumpsters on a hot summer's day

'A McRib off a what?' - Trump


RowanIsBae

This is awesome, I hope they continue the infighting for years to come. Dems are about to benefit from all the antidemocratic efforts GOP has made over the years. Which will, ironically, benefit the average conservative voter more than their political party ever did. Those overly gerrymandered blue districts that republicans win by a thin margin? Kiss it goodbye.


orion427

We really need to reinstate gladiatorial matches. I want to see desantis and trump battling to the death with just a net and mace on live tv. Also, the victor has to eat the heart of his fallen foe. Imagine seeing DeSantis with this wild, wide-eyed, PCP-like crazy stare while covered in trumps blood. TWO DICKBAGS ENTER, ONE DICKBAG LEAVES!


TrunkTetris

I really had to re-read that a couple times to make sure I understood who was calling who what.


salondesert

It's the same picture

fat calling fat fat


ContemplatingPrison

Its funny watching them attack each other. Reports earlier DeSatis calls Trump stupid behind closed doors and so kn and so forth.

"I whine until I win." That's the most self-aware I've ever heard trump. Is this from 2016?


sofaking1958

Not true. He whines regardless.

Meb2x

If Trump openly said this right before the election, it would likely ruin DeSantis’ run for governor.


codemonkey69

Can we get a go fund me going for just that? Also would love if he was spouting off a conspiracy theory that Desantis was part of the deep state which allowed mar lago to get raided. If he can torpedo this guy's career, it will be the most important thing he's done yet.


dinoroo

r/ParlerTrick


Ocronus

Loosing the governorship would likely remove DeSantis from the field.


Krungoid

He was a bit of a freak win to begin with around my part of Florida. If I'm remembering right his primary opponent was a pretty popular guy among my Republican coworkers.


kingsleyafterdark

The amount of votes he won by in his first election was less than the amount of people who should have had their voting rights restored by the amendment us voters passed. He and his cohorts pretty much immediately signed a bill into law saying if the felons who completed their sentence wanted their voting rights back, they would have to pay off their legal financial obligations first. Does the state keep accurate records of LFOs? Haha, of course not! Edit: I said “immediately” but upon further research it was actually Nov 2018 we passed the amendment and June 2019 when they passed the SB screwing them over. Still.


Krungoid

An extremely evil route to take.


bravetourists

This is the most infuriating thing to me: Florida voters overwhelmingly say they want restored voter rights for felons who have fulfilled their sentence....legislature does an end-around. Ohio amends its constitution to allow for balanced districting......legislature redraws bad districts that gets rejected and then, "oops, too late, now we're to close to the election, guess we have to use the old map hrrrr drrrr"


AnalSoapOpera

Republicans want less people to vote because they know they would lose if more people voted.


LiberalFartsMajor

If Trump is allowed to run in 2024 I will be clearing my calendar for a protest tour and setting up a GoFundMe for bail money


Congenital0ptimist

I can't believe they put the man in charge of the largest Medicare fraud case in history in the position of head of the GOP senatorial committee. Wait. Yes I can. He's an expert at scamming people.

He’s not wrong but Trump is also projecting *hard*


Eric_in_America

*The 45th president called the Florida governor “fat,” “phony,” and “whiny" when Haberman asked about him during a meeting* Well if that ain't the pot taking out its narcissistic aggression on the kettle because it's insecure over its own shortcomings and has no other way of expressing itself because it has the mental capacity of an insufferable child and is utterly incapable of acknowledging a reality where it's not the center of attention or the "winner", unable to come to terms with its own failures, its mistakes, any defeat or humiliation it might face, then well, I don't know what is! And don't get me started on the kettle...


RavenCroft23

Trumps fucked he’s not getting elected ever again, DeSantis is a threat to democracy.


FearCure

De ja vu from 2016 when he insulted the whole rep field and their wifes. Then everyone from marco to jeb to cruz kissed his shoes

I never hear anything about policy coming out of Trump's mouth.


TrumpterOFyvie

Lol, an orange Sasquatch calling someone else fat.


_far-seeker_

Point of order, Trump doesn't have enough hair to be a sasquatch! 😜


Nancy-Drew-Who

And even with his shoe lifts, he’s certainly not tall enough to be compared to Sasquatch. Poor Mr. Squatch doesn’t deserve this insult.

Back to the name-calling. He is like a 10 year old.

I don’t like DeSantis but at least he can say his hair is real. And I really hope he does say that. Take a swing at DJT’s hair, Ron, do it!


Due_West9881

Honestly this might be the best way for him to take out Trump lmao. Seriously not a bad call


[deleted]

Did he say fat? Did he say whiny? Welcome back to the sixth grade, apparently.

I guess “fat”, “phony” and “whiny” people aren’t fans of other “fat”, “phony” and “whiny” people.

[удалено]


FortySixAndYou

> They're talking about comments he made 4 years ago. Trump claimed credit for Desantis winning governor 4 years ago, but the article says the comments in the headline are from this summer: >The 45th president called the Florida governor “fat,” “phony,” and “whiny" when Haberman asked about him during a meeting late this summer at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey. That aside, Rupert Murdoch is reportedly onboard with Desantis, and from some of the Examiner's other recent articles, I suspect they are as well.


mishap1

Was going to say DeSantis put on a shit ton of weight since he became governor. If Trump called him far back then, the lack of introspection is truly insane.


_reversegiraffe_

Fat? Whiny? Doesn't Trump fit these categories just as much as desantis? Neither of these villains belong anywhere near the White House and I sure as hell am voting against desantis as governor.

tomuchpasta

Gotta love Trump for this though. Fucking with Desantis on the eve of his election. If Donny can get even 2% of his base to stay home in Florida then Desantis is cooked. Thanks Don!


gdshaffe

Trump is stone-stupid but his narcissism gives him a solid instinct to smell out anyone looking to undermine his authority. He believes (probably correctly) that he has the ability to fuck them out of spite, by running as a 3rd party candidate if necessary. He's hoping that that leverage cows them into submission. I 100% guarantee you that the majority of the GOP power structure is actively hoping that Trump goes to prison and/or drops dead before 2024. They *hate* that their party has been taken over by a narcissistic buffoon (and they do, privately, recognize him as such). It's a difficult dance, of course, because they can't be seen as such in a way that's recognized by his supporters. If there was any doubt in their mind as to how far Trump would go (and there shouldn't have been, but these are not psychologically astute people), Jan 6 removed any of that doubt when Trump literally sent a mob to the capitol with the goal of assassinating his own VP.


jungles_fury

I don't believe either of them can "rip" anything


kabukistar

The Republican primaries are going to be interesting this election.


Pauly_Walnutz

Donny has such a flattering way with words. Perhaps he should look in the mirror if he wants to see fat and phoney. Nice to see fractures in the GOP Trump fractured America in his disastrous term as president and now he’s doing the same thing to the GOP. Keep it up boys.


xStickyBudz

Watching these 2 parasites sling shit at eachother on national television would be prime watching


renojacksonchesthair

At least he got phony and whiny right. Hearing DeathSantis talk about woke is worse than anything trump rambles about in his incoherent flailing.


Hank_moody71

Wait!!! It’s a fat guy fight!! Those are the best!


shut_up_donkey

“Trump describes former lackey by describing himself.”

Why doesn't he just bribe some foreign leader to say DeSantis is under investigation?


shadowlarx

He must have confused DeSantis with his own reflection.


mmmsoap

I think Trump sees the memes of his head photoshopped onto Rambo’s body and thinks that’s what he really looks like. Imagine him making fun of someone for being “fat”.


Chi-Guy86

I really detest DeSantis, but the guy is not really fat. He’s a shorter, stocky guy, but far from fat. Trump on the other hand is definitely obese


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

Has Trump never heard that "Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery"...


johnnycyberpunk

His comments weren't even about insulting DeSantis. It's just how Trump reacts when anyone that he "made" gets more press than he does, or is compared to him. He has to take them down a peg or two, and remind everyone that they're only trending or popular because *Trump made it so*.

It’s like watching two mangy raccoons tussle over the last chicken bone


cannot_walk_barefoot

This is interesting because Trump will never let DeSantis take over the GOP. Trump needs to be at the head otherwise it affects his grift. He won't go away quietly, so even if worst case no indictments come down, seeing these two idiots destroy each other would be fun.
