"I'll never look as good as Melania, and I have to stand next to her every day. Poor me!"

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.”

What did Trump ever say during one of his own press briefings that was not true?
I smell bulls#!t.
And still he accomplished so much. 🤔
What happened to Non- Disclosure Contracts????
Melania just went up a hand full of points in my view.
Speaking of 'brain dead', have YOU ever thought you've overstayed your value to this forum?!?
Well said, DuAs, where's your partner in stupidity, 'Bevis'?
Members of the administration, even Trump appointees, work for the government and not the President. Non-disclosure agreements are unenforceable. With the exception of classified information, things like that, they can write and talk about anything they want.
Trump is great as the CEO of his own company. He believes in giving people with potential a chance at leadership.. If they did not work out, then they could be fired. With government, firing is not easy.
“Hell has no fury like a woman scorned!” She had a thing for Trump and he rebuffed her. End of story.
So Trump remained Trump. Trump has been in the spot light for as long as I remember.
They didn’t put her in front of the Press Corp as PS for a reason.
Yeah, I agree.
They were always trying to play “Gotcha” games with them both.
They had nothing real to go after.
Now here we are with Biden, and they can’t think of anything
that might be embarrassing to ask, and there’s a ton of
things to ask.
“Unfortunately Trump’s choice of people to surround himself with during is administration was really terrible.”
And this is another example of that.
Not that rich; and it'll be gone in a couple of years. But her disloyalty and untrustworthiness will stain her prospects for the rest of her life.
I know! Maybe she can go on Celebrity Big Brother or Dancing with the Stars!
"I'll never look as good as Melania, and I have to stand next to her every day. Poor me!"
It absolutely is not.
She ‘outed herself’ when she made the ridiculous statement that Trump wanted dictators to respect him. What sort of a President would he have been if he wanted dictators to like him and disrespect him? Stephanie Grisham sounds like a typical weak-minded liberal whose primary desire is to be liked rather than respected.
This is what I assume.
Read later.
