2023 Donald Trump isn't the same as 2016 Donald Trump.
Ex-White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin appearing on CNN's "Anderson 360°" said she believes Father Time isn't being kind to the 45th president who at 77-years-old is vying for a second term in the nation's highest office.
"It's interesting, because I think a big part of what his campaign has been saying is 'Look at slow Joe Biden!' and 'Look at how Joe Biden who has been diminished in his old age!'"
She noted: "I remind people, these gentlemen are only 3 1/2 years apart," referring to President Biden who blew out a bonfire of a birthday cake when he turned 81 days ago.
Griffin sees the MAGA leader as depleted and lacking the vigor of his former self from a few years back, calling him an "unhinged person."
"If you watch Donald Trump of today and compare it to 2016 — it's not the same person; and I had my own criticisms of him in 2016."
"He is somebody who can't focus on things, he can't remember who's the current president, he can't remember that World War II has already happened. He would be concerned about World War III if he is making a prediction."
Griffin laid out her eyeball assessment of the former president who was quoted standing outside of his $250 million civil fraud tossing verbal digs at state Justice Engoron and his legal clerk last month.

"This rogue judge. A Trump hater. The only one that hates Trump more is his associate up there (pointing with his thumb). Person that works with him. She's screaming into his ear every time we ask a question."
"It's as disgrace you want to know the truth? It's a disgrace."
The comments were cited after Engoron's limited gag order on Donald Trump was upheld by a New York appellate court and reinstated after a brief pause.
Griffin called Trump's constant offensives and counteroffensives "just exhausting."
And when he's trying to tear down the judge and his clerk to constantly denying he lost the 2020 election to Biden — all proof that he's slipping, she then suggested.
"This is classic Donald Trump," she said. "It's the unhinged ramblings of a man who believes he can't grapple the fact that he lost his last election, he is coming back and the wealth he is spoken of having and that's being challenged in the court of public opinion and in the actual court."
"It's turned into this unhinged person that we're seeing."
