'A man in mental decline': Trump’s ex-spokeswoman says 'something has changed' in him

Donald Trump's former spokesperson said Saturday that "something has changed" with the former president since her time in his administration, adding that he seems like "a man in mental decline."

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who earlier in the day told MSNBC's Alex Witt that the ex-president is "known for throwing things" when upset, was asked her opinion of Trump's mental state in a late evening appearance on CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta.

When the host asked Grisham about Trump's recent "gaffes" and "flubs," including the multiple slip ups that prompted questions at the ex-president's rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, she responded that she has noticed a stark difference.

"I do think something has changed," she admitted. "He seems like a man in mental decline, honestly."

She then drew attention to Trump's tendency to "cover up" his verbal failings.

"The only thing I noticed, you know, is the way he tries to cover it up when he does speak publicly. He has a very specific way that he does that."

She further added that there are a lot of factors that could be contributing to his noted issues.

"The man is running for president. He's got how many indictments -- how many trials, he's got how many things happening to him, how much money he's having to pay," she explained. "He may lose his business license in New York. I can't imagine that you wouldn't be in decline."

She also noted the fact that Trump has been successful at projecting his competency issues onto President Joe Biden.

"So I hope that others are noticing this, too," she said of Trump and his behavior. "He doesn't seem well, not at all."
