DeSantis Attacks Trump's Declining Mental State As His Poll Numbers Get Worse

Ron DeSantis appears to be getting desperate as his poll numbers continue to slip, and he's decided to launch a new line of attack against Donald Trump. While Trump is busy attacking President Biden's mental capacity, DeSantis is now attacking Trump for mentally slipping. There's no shortage of material for DeSantis to use to attack Trump from this angle, and his desperation is leading him to a place he never thought he'd have to go. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

In recent weeks, Donald Trump has spent a lot of time focusing on telling people how great his mental acuity is. Talking about his mental competency. Absolutely Demolishes Biden's mental competency. And this is now an avenue that due to Donald Trump's many, many gaffes he has had recently, that a lot of us on the left have been attacking Donald Trump over. Well, apparently Ron DeSantis with his failing Republican presidential campaign has decided that he too wants in on the action, and he has now launched, I guess, what they're calling the Trump accident hacker. And it's where they're gonna keep a database of all of the horrible, stupid and clearly mentally, you know, wrong things that are happening with Donald Trump right now. And in announcing it this week, Ron DeSantis had this to say, and what Donald Trump does now, he is wedded to the teleprompter. He can't get off that teleprompter anytime he does.

He says things like, don't vote. He's telling people not to vote like we have all the votes we need. Really? Wait a minute, you lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in 2016. You don't have all the votes you need. And so I think that it's just shown this is a different Donald Trump, you know, in 2015 and 2016, he lost the zip on his fast ball, has a sense of entitlement, all this stuff, doesn't think he has to go through and earn it like other candidates. And then DeSantis goes into this big, long, rambling rant. But, uh, it's, it's the mental stuff, right? And he's launched again, like a Trump accident tracker, and they're going to keep a database or a growing list, I don't know what you want to call it, but of all of the weird and stupid things that Donald Trump says going forward and about that thing where he is like, Trump tells people don't vote.

Yeah. On Monday, Donald Trump did a speech in New Hampshire and he told his supporters in the crowd, he is like, you don't need to vote. I have all the votes I need. He literally said that, you don't need to vote. So Ron DeSantis is correctly pointing out like, Hey, this guy is telling Republicans don't vote. This is the dumbest thing imaginable. You know, he keeps having these mental slipups. He, he gets distracted by a fly during a speech and starts ranting about fly paper. These aren't things a person, you know, with a, with a fully functioning cognizant, you know, coherent brain is going to do. But Trump's train of thought ran off the track years ago, and that's what Ron DeSantis is trying to point out to the voters. Problem is for DeSantis, it is probably too little too late at this point. Like when I saw this story, when I saw this headline, it actually had to jolt me back into reality. Like, oh yeah, there's still other Republicans running for president. I do this every

Day and I'm starting to forget that there is still a Republican primary, that there's other Republican challengers. So DeSantis, if your goal with this is to become relevant, you've already fallen into irrelevancy. Same thing with Nikki Haley and Tim Scott and Chris Christie. Y'all are losing the publicity battle. Ron DeSantis got his name back out there with this one thing because it's a good thing to attack Trump over. But beyond that, he's still a horrible candidate with horrible policies, just like the rest of you. And just like Donald Trump, the only difference is Trump is crushing you guys by about 50 points.
