Trump doesn't know anything about the Bible, but if he did this probably would be his favorite verse:

So far we have another entry in the stickiest nickname contest. The most recent nickname, Ron DeSoros (article), Trump has thrown to try to bloody his rival is clever enough though it looks like someone else thought of it.
Donald Trump Reveals A New Meatball-Free Nickname For Ron DeSantis
Trump shared a post combining the Florida governor's name with a favorite target of conservative outrage.
Former President Donald Trump, who has devised a number of nicknames for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has floated another — “Ron DeSoros” — linking his potential 2024 election rival to a favorite target of right-wing resentment.
Trump, in a Truth Social post on Wednesday, shared a Twitter user’s post that dropped the new nickname, adding to the former president’s other schoolyard attempts at ridicule, including “Ron DeSanctus” and “Ron DeSanctimonious.” Trump has denied calling DeSantis “Meatball Ron.”
Whether using a nickname that is a dog whistle to anti-Semites is wise can be debated. It may go over in Texas but might not in Florida where many Jews go to retire. Considering that the also Jewish Sheldon and Miriam Addison gave Trump's campaign for election $75 million it might be possible that if Trump continues with anti-Semitic tropes they could abandon him.
Even if Trump hadn't tried to tie DeSantis to Soros, he is hurling the same anti-Semitic trope against Alvin Bragg (from Yahoo News):
Trump claims Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is backed by George Soros. Here's why that attack is an antisemitic trope.
As former President Donald Trump lashed out online ahead of a looming possible indictment, he slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg this past Saturday in an all-caps Truth Social post for being "FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS."
In the post, Trump went on to call Bragg "corrupt" and "highly political," and pointed to an increase in violent crime in New York under the DA's watch.
On Thursday morning, he took another all-caps strike at Bragg, writing that the criminal case against him should be dropped.
"HE IS A SOROS BACKED ANIMAL WHO JUST DOESN'T CARE ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HURT," he e-shouted at his followers.
My calling Trump a donut, and depicting him inside a bloody donut in my illustration, makes as much sense as Trump calling Ron DeSantis Ron DeSanctimonious or meatball Ron (although Trump claims he never considered the latter). I merely throw it out there because it sounds good and may evoke images of Trump being a fat fast food glutton. See:

Go ahead. Take the plunge and make a comment. Also I'd appreciate shares on social media.
Reminds me of Pilate's statement of "Truth, what does that mean." And we know what Pilate did with morality.
