It's because people are calling him fat, and it has utterly nothing to do with him being Italian.

Unless you are saying that being short and fat is a core part of being Italian. Then carry on.

I dont know what that or Pudding Fingers is supposed to mean. DeSantis is a vile cretin, but theres better insults than that.
Pudding Fingers comes from the proven fact that DeSantis ate pudding with his fingers.

Nope but Ron is so outright unlikable, disgusting, and uncharismatic nicknames don't even apply to him, let alone the fact he has not a single trace or identity the general public would lead to knowing him as Italian outside of his last name.

He's just a cardboard dumbfuck.

Technically, I don't think we've ever actually heard him say it(someone can prove me wrong). It's just been reported that that's what Trump calls DeSantis in casual conversation. The only post I see of him mentioning Meatball Ron is when he said that it was fake news and he'd never call Rob that.

IIRC, Trump coined the term.

"Pudding fingers" comes from something DeSantis actually did (according to reports).

It's an existing slur and it's a term Trump used to insult somebody. You know he's far past having any benefit of the doubt.

this is a dishonest statement.

Trump usually uses "desanctimonious", not meatball ron

Footballer John McGinn, and UFC fighter Molly McCann are both nicknamed 'meatball'.

And they're Scottish, not of Italian heritage.

And it means something different because it doesn't have a racial connotation when used for them. Context is a thing.

An individual is allowed to have more than one term they use. If Trump called Ron a meatball, you know it has an ethnic slant to it.
