Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump both feared and admired Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Honestly, I think he feared him. I think he was afraid of him. I think the man intimidated him," Grisham said during an appearance on "The View," when asked about Trump's impression of Putin.
"I also think he admired him greatly," Grisham said. "I think he wanted to be able to kill whoever spoke out against him."
"In my experience with him, again, I'll just say — he loved the dictators. He loved the people who could kill anyone, including the press," she added. In 2017, The Washington Post reported on 10 vocal critics of Putin who had died violently or under suspicious circumstances.
Grisham also slammed Trump, positing that he would be hiding instead of fighting for his country if he were in a similar situation as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Ukrainian leader has won widespread admiration for his decision to remain in Ukraine amid Russia's invasion, as well as his bold speeches directed at Putin and Moscow.
"I just want to say this. In watching all of this, with Zelensky — Donald Trump would be 57 feet below ground hiding. And Zelensky is out there fighting for his country, and I just think that's great," Grisham said.
Grisham is one of the dozens of former Trump officials looking to thwart their former boss during the 2022 midterm elections and the 2024 presidential race.

Sorry but Trump simply did not choose wisely when he made senior appointments.
“I think....”, “I think....”, “I think....”, I think she just wants attention. So, here it is: “STFU, you stupid beotch.”
She bases this allegation on what exactly? Please tell us. Is there something that he did? What is she talking about?
She looks like she’s had a long hard drug-addled life and she’s got a documented history of that and lying.
In essence, she’s just a mean drunk.
What a colorful (or perhaps warped) imagination - must be related to the famous novelist...
;>)
This person is insane. Total loon.
“I think” “I think” “I think” “I think” “I think” “I think”
Absolute, complete and utter bFs!
This just political porn for Never Trumpers and Democrats. Trump killed 200 Russians in Syria. Does that sound like somebody afraid of Putin?
Projection
Hi.
Is Grisham a psychiatrist too? Amazing.
I wonder if Grisham isn’t pissed because president Trump didn’t dick her?
That’s what this sounds like.
5.56mm
The left loves Xi but they hate Putin and Trump because they both believe in the One True God. By transference the left makes both out to be the Devil. Truth is the left is Godless and many are demon possessed. The war that’s ragiing in world society today is Biblical. Look around and you will see it
It’s obscene that people like this can get away with saying absolutely anything about Trump, as long as it’s negative. Not only do they get away with it, they are celebrated and their words are treated with reverence.
This country is beyond hope.
These hit-pieces on Trump indicates to me that the RINO’s are very afraid of losing power in the primaries.
Voters need to turn the RINO’s fear into reality by removing them in the upcoming primaries.
Yeah, he feared Putin so much, he annihilated 200 Russians in Syria.
What a bunch of completely lying treacherous BS.
If the RINOs hate him this much, I guess I’ll have to redouble my efforts in 24.
Nothing honest about it and she doesn't think.
ABC/Disney is running these lies as an illegal political contribution-in-kind to the Democrats. The executives at ABC/Disney need to be charged and fined for every penny of such crimes.
“Where did Trump find this idiot?”
A great question! Everything about her is a complete trainwreck. Trump was utterly alone in Washington. The GOP was not equipped to support him or his agenda; in fact, they fought him as effectively as the Democrats. That will have to change, or there will be no change.
It's got the stench of the lincoln project's kiddie porn loving pedophiles all over it.
I grow weary of people trying to make a buck pandering to left wing nut media to parrot fake statements and ‘impressions’. These people are a real window into the RINOS and most of DC. Shameless liars with zero integrity, whose sole purpose is to enrich and empower themselves on the back of hard working Americans. Truth doesn’t matter.
Trump showed respect and reckless behavior similar to Putin which kept everything from degenerating into a war. Further, Trump’s policy of taking care of Americans freed him from interference of everything on a global scale. Finally, Trumps policy of energy independence was critical for world stability.
Absolutely, Trump complimented scary dictators. Why? He was looking for an in to begin negotiations and change. That works better than sending in an armed forces and starting a war, then considering Nuclear war as an alternative.
Blah, blah, blah....
We’ve heard it all before....
They try to make Trump out to be the anti-christ.
On 2nd thought, he might be anti-demon to the demon hordes of the demonrat party...LOL.
