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.

The brutal and vindictive idiocy seems to be strong in this one.
The fact this ditz said this on The Spew tells us everything we need to know.
OFFS
I brief scan of this wretched dog’s biographical profile will tell you what a trainwreck of a life she’s made for herself.
So Trump is being blamed based on what his detractors imagine he might be thinking?
Geez...
no matter what is going on in the world
this guy Trump seems to be
at the root of everything.
“I think...,” Grisham said.
Doubtful at best.
“I think....blah, blah, blah.”
How is this worthy of publication?
Who gives a c***!
The woman is hateful, anti-Trump, backstabber, and utterly contemptable who is wasting O2 continuing to breathe.
Where did Trump find this idiot?
“I think he wanted to be able to kill whoever spoke out against him.”
Who is “him”; Trump wanted to kill anyone who spoke out against Putin, Trump?
The woman is a complete idiot. How did Trump find these people? I wish I knew who recommended these people to Trump. Jared Kushner?
What kind of person accepts a job offer from someone he/she hates?
Trump feared Putin?
Yeah, Putin really sensed that “fear” by invading neighboring countries during Trump’s administration.
Oh, wait...
The times Trump might have been in danger on the campaign trail or making a speech showed he didn’t flinch if some nut bar started to approach the stage. This gives the lie to this idea he’s be cowering in some bunker. He was also fine to stop a speech when there was some medical emergency happening in the crowd.
Baloney
Must be the book isn’t selling very well.
She’s a stone cold idiot.
‘I think’
living rent free.....
Pretty much, yeah.
Gresham is a stone-cold liar.
