During a segment on The View this Monday, co-host and former Donald Trump communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin said the recent $83.3 million judgment against the former president from writer E. Jean Carroll's second defamation case has him "feeling like the walls are closing in."
Griffin attributed her speculation to the fact that she knows Trump "personally."
"I'm interested, knowing Donald Trump personally, I think he feels like the walls are closing in," she said. "This is the first consequence he's seen in some time."
She added that the judgment, combined with other stresses Trump is dealing with, could send him over the edge.
"I think that Nikki Haley is going after him in a real way. You're going to start to see him spiral," she added.
"What was shocking to me was, someone who lacks that kind of impulse control, that costs him $83.3 million, should be nowhere near a nuclear code," The View co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in.

Co-host Ana Navarro added that she "thoroughly enjoyed" the fact that Trump was slapped with the verdict.
"I really feel it's E. Jean Carroll standing up on behalf of all the people who have been abused, bullied, assaulted by Donald Trump," she said. "He boasted about grabbing women by the hoo-ha ... well the women grabbed back and E. Jean Carroll grabbed him by the pocket."
Carroll accused Trump of raping her in the dressing room of New York City department store in the mid-1990s and defaming her when she went public with the accusation decades later. The $83 million defamation judgment is in addition to a $5 million sexual abuse and defamation judgment issued against him last year.
