  1. Absolutely, damning – in any other timeline this would be a campaign ender not a decider.

    “I don’t really care, do you?”

    She’s a terrible combination of careless callousness and apathy. Perfect First Lady for the Orange one.

    > Stephanie Grisham, once former President Donald Trump's press secretary and close aide to Melania Trump, blasted the former first lady's apparent January 6, 2021, text messages in a speech at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night in Chicago.

    > In a 2021 interview with NBC News' Meet The Press, Grisham said she tried to resign "a couple of times" before that day of infamy, but Melania Trump talked her out of it.

"While Donald Trump continues to attack moderates and independents, the Harris-Walz campaign has made clear that there is a place in our coalition for voters who reject the extremism of Donald Trump and want to protect our democracy," a Harris campaign official also told NBC. Grisham also didn't hold back against former President Trump, the 2024 Republican nominee.

    Sociopathic behavior. Even a Kardashian would post something to stop the madness

    I have zero sympathy for Melania. She could probably ruin Trump with what she knows about him, and thus help protect the country from him; but she won’t, because all she cares about is getting her share of his cash.

  6. She met Donold as a escort no? I know I’ve seen her titties and coked-out partying with Epstein so her character was always an issue.

  7. Didn’t see her speaking by the Orange Orangutan’s side—and that says volumes. Meanwhile she’s been raising her son to slap nannies and kill animals—like that doesn’t track.

    And all these republicans jumping ship makes me wonder how sincere they really are. Where were they a year ago? Or two?

  9. Their only recourse for everything against them is childish insults. Is that what we want again? I don’t think so!

  10. Elaine Chao, Betsy DeVos, Mick Mulvaney, Stephanie Grisham, and Matt Porringer all resigned from the trump administration following the events on Jan 6th.

  11. Jajaja. Jason Miller AKA the human thumb is on the trump team. I figured he would be out trying to score abortion pills before they are outlawed.

    Saved you a click:

    After leaving the White House, Grisham’s relationship with the Trump camp soured. In her 2021 memoir, I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw at the Trump White House, she offered a critical insider’s account of the administration, accusing Donald Trump of fostering a culture of fear and chaos.

    On Tuesday night, as she endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris for president, she referenced her apparent communications with the former first lady during the Capitol riot, which are also highlighted in her book.

    “On Jan. 6, I asked Melania if we can at least tweet that ‘while peaceful protest is the right of every American, there’s no place for lawlessness or violence.’ She replied with one word … ‘no.’”

    Am I alone in not appreciating this woman (or anyone who climbed aboard the Trump administration) speaking at the DNC? I feel pretty confident that we all saw who and what Trump really was when he campaigned in 2016, and I have few kind words for anyone who took a seat beside him after he had shown his whole ass to the world. Thanks but no thanks.

  14. And the Trump campaign (with the ironic twitter handle “War Room,” apparently) doesn’t deny or explain any of this, just attacks and defames the former staffer.

    True to form.

  15. Who cares?! DNC resorting to RNC antics for topics is so disappointing. Going after family including a paper wife is just….weird. Leave that shit to the tabloids.

    You really expect someone who is “married” to Trump to have a conscience or a soul. We’re giving her too much credit.

    I’ve no sympathy for these power hungry mofos. Trump was Trump the day he came down the elevator. Today is not much different than all those years ago.
    If it looks like a piece of shit, talks like a piece of shit…. It’s a piece of shit.

  18. “Basement dwellers, stay off my golf course.” We always knew he had contempt for his supporters. A discomfort that he knew his voters weren’t the best and the brightest. He tries to hob nob with the billionaire class, but it is only the ones trying to enrich themselves that take the bait. So pathetic. It is disappointing to see Americans fall for the charade. Maybe this little peek behind the curtain will help those misled to see what the grift is.

    Yeah, most prostitutes won’t stop their johns from committing further additional crimes.

    I am not surprised here.
