DeSantis campaign starts ‘Trump Accident Tracker’ tallying gaffes: ‘It’s been 0 days’

Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) campaign announced Tuesday that it has started keeping track of former President Donald Trump’s mistakes “to highlight the liability that Trump is for his own campaign.”

According to the Florida governor’s campaign, “Donald Trump causes major workplace accidents for his own candidacy every time he veers off the teleprompter.”

It started the tally Monday, pointing out gaffes from Trump’s New Hampshire rally. “Did you miss the Trump rally today? Here’s a quick recap: (WARNING: There were several teleprompter issues),” wrote DeSantis War Room on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

During the video, Trump mixed up the leaders of Turkey and Hungary, told attendees not to worry about voting, and went off on a tangent about how the acronym U.S. resembles the word “us,” something he said he just realized.

The DeSantis rapid response video has amassed over 100,000 views on X.

Justifying the “accident tracker,” DeSantis’s campaign reminded supporters of various controversial recent moves by Trump. “From praising Hezbollah terrorists and criticizing [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu, to failing to be able to answer whether a man can become a woman, to calling pro-life legislation passed in numerous conservative states (including Iowa and South Carolina) terrible, to pledging to cozy up to China, to attacking Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, the former president has been his own worst enemy on the campaign trail,” read the email announcement.

The campaign explained the purpose of such a tracker is to show voters what a “liability” Trump would be during his second term as president. They will therefore follow “how long Trump can go without causing an accident on the job.”

DeSantis’s team further took a shot at Trump’s relative absence from the campaign trail throughout his primary bid. “Days in which Trump adopts Biden’s basement campaign strategy don’t count,” his campaign said, noting Trump told a crowd recently that his rallies take place “like once a month.”

Trump’s campaign did not provide a comment to the Washington Examiner.

In attacking Trump’s verbal mistakes, DeSantis and President Joe Biden are somewhat unified. Biden’s rapid response account has similarly been calling out such gaffes, including the latest Trump mistake, confusing the Turkish and Hungarian leaders. Both campaigns are apparently looking to paint Trump as too old or lacking the mental sharpness to lead the country.
