Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade Uncomfortable With Donald Trump's Nicknames For Ron DeSantis: āRon Dishonest, Ron the Establishment, Or Tiny D'

Donald Trump made one Fox News host uncomfortable over the weekend after the former president shared a series of new nicknames for GOP rival Ron DeSantis, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
During his broadcast on Monday morning, Fox News star Brian Kilmeade admitted that former President Trumpās nicknames mocking Florida Governor DeSantis make him and āeverybody on all sidesā uncomfortable.
Kilmeade also suggested Trumpās penchant for mocking DeSantis may hurt him among voters ā particularly because the former president and the Florida governor are āso similarā to one another.
āDonald Trump is trying to vilify Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan; he says they are a portion of the party that he is trying to link Ron DeSantis to,ā Kilmeade said Monday morning while discussing Trumpās CPAC speech on Saturday.
āHe is also working on a nickname: āRon Dishonest, Ron the Establishmentā or āTiny D,āā Kilmeade continued.
āI donāt know,ā the 58-year-old Fox News host then explained. āIf people are uncomfortableā¦Itās hard to label somebody who is so similar to him with a nickname. Itās almost as ā it makes everybody on all sides seemingly uncomfortable.ā
āEven people reporting it,ā Kilmeade concluded.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Trump recently started targeting DeSantis following rumors the Republican Florida governor is preparing to announce his 2024 White House bid.
Although the former president has dubbed DeSantis āMeatball Ronā and ā seemingly Trumpās favorite nickname ā āRon DeSanctimonious,ā Trump recently took to his social media platform Truth Social to deny a report by the New York Times about his series of nicknames for DeSantis.
āAll of the Fake News is reporting that I spend large amounts of my time coming up with a good ānicknameā for Ron DeSanctimonious, who is obviously going to give the presidential āthingā a shot,ā Trump wrote in February.
āThey are all 100% wrong, I donāt even think about it,ā the former president continued. āA very unimportant subject to me!!!ā
Trump then targeted Fox News last week after the conservative news network downplayed a hypothetical 2024 poll finding the former president leading DeSantis by a whopping 15 points.

"FoxNews is promoting Ron DeSanctus so hard and so much that there's not much time left for Real News," Trump raged last week. "The new Fox Poll, which have always been purposely terrible for me, has 'TRUMP Crushing DeSanctimonious,' but they barely show it.ā
Meanwhile, DeSantis has yet to officially announce his bid for the presidency in 2024 ā although recent reports suggest the popular Florida governor is preparing to announce his bid sooner than later.
