Ex-Trump Official Shocked Voters Don’t See Trump’s Age as a Problem as Big as Biden’s: ‘It’s Gotten Worse’

Alyssa Farah Griffin finds it “remarkable” that there is concern over President Joe Biden’s age, but not nearly as much about the age of her former boss Donald Trump, declaring the latter has only “gotten worse” as he continues campaigning for a return to the White House.

Griffin, a former communications official in Trump’s White House, joined CNN’s John Berman on Monday and argued Trump’s recent public gaffes should be as concerning to voters as those of Biden. Trump is 77, while Biden is 81. Berman referenced a New York Times/Siena College survey released last month that found more than 70% believe Biden is too old to be president, but only 42% believe the same about Trump.

Berman then played a clip of Trump campaigning over the weekend and mixing up the names of Biden and Barack Obama, something he’s previously claimed he does on purpose.

Griffin was stumped as to why the public appears more concerned with Biden’s advanced age than that of her former boss.

“He is not as sharp as he was in 2016 and not even as sharp as he was in 2020,” Griffin said about Trump. “For some reason, that doesn’t necessarily come across to voters the same way, but Donald Trump is not the strongest fighter that Republicans could have right now, and it’s remarkable how much voters don’t see the age as also an issue because he is only three and a half years younger than President Joe Biden but there is something about the way they carry themselves that is just seen very differently.”

The current View co-host admitted Trump has never been “super articulate or elegant” with his speeches but argued he more consistently mixes up names.

“It’s gotten worse, it hasn’t gotten better,” she said.
