Donald Trump Jr. recently made a bizarre attempt to insult one of his father’s prospective future opponents in the 2024 presidential race with a tweet involving an AI-generated video. The video Trump Jr. re-tweeted was created by a meme account called C3PMeme and had the face and voice of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as Michael Scott, a character in the show “The Office”. The clip featured Scott wearing a woman’s suit and being made fun of by his colleagues. Trump Jr. added a caption insulting DeSantis, referencing his father’s nickname for him “Meatball Ron”. The AI clip went viral, and CNN’s Jake Tapper shared his own response that was much different than Trump Jr.’s stance.

Ron DeSantis is the current Governor of Florida and a former member of the US House of Representatives. He is a strong supporter of the Trump agenda and has been cited as a possible 2024 presidential candidate. DeSantis has been very successful in his political career so far, having been re-elected in 2018 with a landslide victory. However, he has been in the spotlight since Trump Jr.’s tweet and is likely hoping to avoid any distractions in his campaign for re-election in 2022.
