Takeaways from Trump aide's account of chaotic White House
aol ^ | September 30, 2021 | JILL COLVIN

Stephanie Grisham, White House press secretary to first lady Melania Trump, is out with a book that paints a deeply unflattering picture of Donald Trump — a man with a “terrifying” temper who ogled a young aide and tried to impress dictators while president, she writes.

Grisham describes Melania as a Marie Antoinette figure who refused to condemn the violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 as Trump's supporters stormed the building to halt certification of 2020 election results.

Grisham writes she texted Melania Trump as the scene unfolded. “Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?" she asked. "Literally one minute later Melania Trump sent me back a one-word response: ‘No.’”

“Trump's temper was terrifying. He questioned people’s confidence, their looks, their intelligence — whatever he thought would do the most damage to someone’s psych."

Trump had particular contempt for the White House lawyers. “He didn't like them telling him that things he wanted to do were unethical or illegal."

Staff tried to temper his impulses by stalling or distracting in a White House “where everything was like a clown car on fire running at full speed into a warehouse full of fireworks."

“He always seemed to want dictators to respect him,” Grisham writes, pointing in particular to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom staff suspected of arranging for an attractive interpreter and coughing to throw Trump off-guard.

Grisham also writes that Trump “frequently said insane things to foreign leaders.”

One reason, Grisham writes, that she didn’t want to hold formal press briefings was that she knew that ”sooner or later the president would want me to tell the public something that was not true or that would make me sound like a lunatic.”

That’s funny. I voted for Trump and became a passionate supporter because this is exactly the kind of White House I want.

Tells me she's an idiot or infiltrator.

"He always seemed to want dictators to respect him"

What would be a better alternative? For the dictators to think we are either pansies or worthy only of contempt and ridicule?

“He always seemed to want dictators to respect him,”

This one is quite light in the loafers...

Yeah dumb ass. You do want dictators to fear/respect you.

Ah another turncoat getting a book deal while whistling past the political graveyard. Time’s up on our ruling elite.

“Grisham writes she texted Melania Trump as the scene unfolded. “Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?” she asked.”

No Presidential wife should get involved in political events, especially WHILE they are occurring. Melania’s concern that day is what they should have for dinner and how is Barron’s day going.

This bimbo had no business anywhere near the White House.

More smears and fiction, no doubt. There is not much hidden about Trump , his personality and natural charisma is openly apparent. Rock Stars can only wish to get the audiences he does.

Stephanie, what you would really like is a nice quiet, well organized, friendly, optimistic White House...

SOMETHING LIKE THE ONE JIM CROW JOE IS CONDUCTING.

She has the face of a Leftie. She would be a perfect wife/partner to that corrupt, weasel Christopher Wray.

This retarded 45 year old 2 time divorcee single mom from Colorado started to believe she was a policy setter.

Yeah, I agree.

She was aggressive about something Melania shouldn’t have been
involved in.

She couldn’t hold two marriages together, but she knows how the White House should run.

Great googly moogly! Is there no one on the face of the Earth, of either party or none, who is not lurking in the shadows, dagger drawn, poised to stab Donald Trump in the back?

Melania was the first sane first lady since Pat Nixon.

She had 2 DUIs in Gilbert, AZ in 2013. Somehow she got them either dismissed or pled down to Reckless Driving which is almost impossible to do in AZ, the toughest state in the nation on DUIs. Good lawyer helps.

Obviously this douche bag has never read any factual history on Marie Antoinette.
