Stephanie Grisham says Trump greatly admired Putin and 'wanted to be able to kill whoever spoke out against him'
businessinsider com ^ | March 8, 2022 | Cheryl Teh

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.

Trump was very naïve as to how vindictive and slimy the Deep State really is.

Melania? Wasn’t she Melania’s Chief of Staff, or something?

Their guy is occupying the White House. Their guy is screwing up the handling of an invasion that occurred on his watch.

What to do?

Pretend the other guy is still in the White House and create all the hate porn fantasies you want about his handling of Putin and this invasion.

Lots of people spoke against Trump and I don’t recall any of them dying mysteriously.

I am going to tell you how I really feel about Grisham.

If what she said were true , Grisham would be in fear for her own life.

The lie is revealed in that her mouth is wide open spouting her hatred of a man who just got the job done despite the continuous cry for lefty input. Trump just bulldozed through.

If Trump were not a man of peace and sought to emulate killer dictators, Grisham would be silent, hidden in some leftist nest lined with pubic hair from the gang of four led by AOC.

But she is not....and so her idiocy speaks for itself.She will never be allowed near the WH ever again either, despite her desire to me employed by a future Trump hating administration,

They know Trump s going to win. It keeps these witches up at night pishing their beds and suffering their mates to have erectile dysfunction.Beause this is the case, they offer nothing but a future barren lanscape populated with zero of their progeny. That’s a very good thing.

There are a lot more bodies in HRC’s wake than there are in Trump’s.

Projection. The one who spoke these words is actually the one who wishes to kill anyone speaking against them.

Gawd Almighty. President Trump certainly chose poorly with respect to some of his appointments.

No one cares what you think.

Wow.

A anti-trump activist who gives her unsubstantiated opinion as fact.

Worse, the Business Insider thinks an unsubstantiated opinion is newsworthy.
