4:45Now PlayingA former member of Donald Trump's administration says that she was "stunned" by his very obvious and serious mental decline, which was on full display over the weekend. During rallies on Saturday, Trump not only claimed that he could have won blue states like California if it weren't for election interference, but he also suggested that he could win blue states in 2024 if Jesus Christ comes down and acts as the "scorekeeper." These are very abnormal statements from a declining elderly man, as Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump traveled to Iowa this past weekend, and, uh, it was, it was weird, uh, to say the least, but it was also so confusing and chaotic that a former member of his administration actually described her reaction to it as being stunned, not stunned necessarily by the things that he said. Obviously Trump says, you know, outlandish and outrageous things all the time. She was stunned by the fact that it is very obvious at this point that Donald Trump is suffering from quite severe possibly cognitive decline. Now, that former official happens to be Alyssa Farah Griffin, who of course has become an outspoken critic of Donald Trump. Uh, since leaving his administration, she now works for CNN, but this is what she had to say during an appearance on CNN on Sunday morning. Uh, this was of course after they showed a clip of Donald Trump. Farah Griffin says, it's kind of remarkable.
I've been watching the clips from Trump's visit to Iowa, and I'm stunned, having spent a lot of time with him in 2020 and years before he's slowing down. There's a lack of sharpness in what he's saying and a lack of kind of clarity. There's a clip, you know, where he basically says he's going to overturn Obamacare, but also says that he'll fix it. Complete inconsistencies. Now, if you've been paying attention to what happened with Donald Trump's, uh, rally in Iowa over the weekend, that certainly was not the most outrageous thing that he said, and definitely was not the only thing he said that hence its severe cognitive decline that just happens to be one of the things Alyssa Farrah Griffin highlighted there. So he is like, I'm gonna get rid of Obamacare, and then in the next breath he says, I'm gonna fix Obamacare. Um, okay, definitely inconsistent.
You know, you cannot do both of those things. So yeah, there's a weirdness there. But she talks about a lack of clarity. Let's be honest about something here. There's never been clarity or an ability to really follow his train of thought ever since he burst onto the political scene. Like the man gets distracted with his own words and sentences and goes down these weird paths that nobody can follow. So let's not even pretend for a second that Donald Trump, even just a couple years ago, oh wow, yeah, you could follow everything. He said this, the guy who would rant and rave about toilets and having to flush them 15 to 20 times and there's no water pressure anymore. Those are weird things that he said while he was president that really show that he never had clarity in anything that he said. But as I pointed out, that really wasn't the most outrageous thing he said. He went on to say that if it hadn't been for rigging of elections, he totally would've won blue states like California and New York in both 2020 and apparently 2016 and maybe even in elections before that.
But don't worry, because he says in the off chance that Jesus Christ himself comes down and acts as the, uh, you know, scorekeeper, which is the word he used then, then they'll totally win in 2024 in the blue states. You think I'm making that up? Here's his exact quote. I actually believe that if they didn't have rigged elections out there, if they didn't have all that paper ballot, you know, they send out like 36 million ballots and nobody knows where the hell they're going to or coming from. I think a few people know where they're going to, and a few people know where they're coming from. So, again, like nobody knows, except I think a couple people know, like that's the dumbest thing. They know where the ballots go. They know who they're coming from. They have systems to verify and check all of these, by the way. But he continues.
