should call the next variant the DeSantis variant. Wow. Zing. Zing.

You know who taught Jim Acosta this technique? Who taught Jim Acosta to cleverly brand people to make their political careers less successful? Who was it? I'm getting an image. Somebody orange. Somebody that Jim Acosta doesn't like that much. That's right. Jim Acosta just became Trump.

He knew it was going to happen. Let me ask you this. In the time that you've known both President Trump and Jim Acosta, has Trump in any way become more like Jim Acosta? I'll wait. I'll wait for your answer. No. No. But in the time that you've been watching them, has Jim Acosta become more like Trump? Yes he has.

Talk about the ultimate revenge is making your worst enemy turn into you. That's a complete defeat. That's sort of like killing somebody and skinning them and wearing their skin as clothing. That's as hard as you can be. Somebody turning them into you. You can't win any harder than that.

But there's more to this story. Why not call it the DeSantis variant? It's not very good, is it? So you know when Trump does his linguistic kill shots, like you repeat them and they're kind of funny on the surface and they sort of like they hit you where it hurts. You know, like low energy Jeb. I mean that was just like Edward Scissorhands giving you a haircut kind of situation.

And then Jim's best play here is about the DeSantis variant. That's my Dr. Evil. How about that? The DeSantis variant.

Here's a little linguistic trick for you. Things have to sound right. So this is one of the things that Trump gets right that you don't know he's getting right because you don't even know it's a thing. One of the things that Trump gets right is he uses words that sound good together. Now you'll never notice it because he doesn't do it wrong. If he ever did it wrong you'd notice it. But because he never makes that mistake, he uses words that sound good when you put them together. You just don't notice how well he does it.

But here's a cost of not doing it well. The DeSantis variant. Oh that's going to be viral. It actually was viral but only because Jim Acosta said it. But there's nothing clever about that. The words DeSantis and variant, they don't really fit together do they? It's just one of these little things that Trump does perfectly all the time and then you don't even notice it's the thing you don't know it's a skill because he never does it wrong.

But this is obviously a skill because you can't imagine in any world that Trump himself — you know let's say he was on the other side from DeSantis — you can't im
