Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Thursday report, writing: “Some presidential candidates struggle to nail their message. Ron DeSantis is struggling to nail his NAME.
In the early days of his campaign, DeSantis has gone back and forth between pronouncing his name Dee-Santis and Deh-Santis.”Later Thursday, CNN also reported on the suddenly controversial vowel.
Hear it for yourself in the closing seconds:Axios reports that DeSantis used the long-e (DEE-Santis) not just in that video, but also in a radio interview later that day.
But during interviews last week with Fox News, Glenn Beck, Erick Erickson, and Mark Levin, he went back to the more casual-sounding (and so far, more widely used) “Duh-SAN-tis.”Axios said DeSantis’ political action committee had no comment on the apparent discrepancy.Former President Donald Trump, who has a third pronunciation of his rival’s name that has failed to catch on and so far only he uses, also ribbed DeSantis’ floating vowel use. “Ron DeSantis is a phony who can’t decide how to pronounce his name,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told Axios. “If you can’t get your name right, how can you lead a country?”Since DeSantis is a name of Italian origin, Axios also spoke with Professor William Connell, chair of Italian Studies at Seton Hall.
