Stephanie Grisham, Donald Trump’s former press secretary, excoriated the Republican presidential nominee at the Democratic national convention on Tuesday, saying: “He has no empathy, no morals, and no fidelity to the truth.”
Grisham, a Republican operative who also served as a spokesperson to Melania Trump, offered firsthand accounts of the former president’s behavior behind closed doors.
“I wasn’t just a Trump supporter, I was a true believer, I was one of his closest advisers. The Trump family became my family,” she said, saying she spent her holidays at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. “I saw him when the cameras were off … Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers. On a hospital visit one time when people were dying in the ICU, he was mad that the cameras were not watching him.”

Trump held a lottery where the grand prize was dinner with the former President.
No one ever won.
Isn’t that like super illegal? I mean… Not that it matters at this point, throw it on the pile. But still
I mean, the idea of using the White House as a promotional gimmick is illegal.
Donnie don’t care.
True story. Back in 2016 I got into it online with a MAGoo. Trump had just pled guilty to running his University as a scam. The MAGoo was fine with Trump ripping off the students, because it was the fault of the students for not reading the terms and conditions.
He can pee in their faces and they’ll thank him for the cologne
I believe hosting a lottery and not actually paying out is also illegal.
Official acts, baby! Just wait, maybe we get a monopoly scam like the McDonalds one if he wins the presidency :)
Rules for thee, not for the oligarchs.
The prize dinner was supposed to be in New Orleans by how I read the story.
You are correct and I edited my comment
All these Republicans speak at the DNC… but are they out there saying these things to other Republicans? I’d be willing to bet lots of right wing voters won’t hear this message unless someone starts saying it through their regular communication channels. It’s preaching to the converted.
It won’t matter if they hear it they’ll dismiss it as “Yeah a FORMER Republican operative, they just have a vendetta against him so obviously they’re lying.”
It happens with every Trump admin personnel that has left and spilled the beans about how horrible he is.
They will start saying basements are amazing and wearing basements around
One thing that should be noted to his supporters is that none of the people in Trump’s previous administration want to work with him and have nothing good to say about him. If the people closest to him think he is inept, why the hell should his supporters think differently?
Edit: Totally missed the part about this being at the DNC. Next thing that should be noted to Trump supporters: why does he consistently hire what they now deem to be RINOs?
These people sound deplorable…
They’re celebrating deplorable.
weird.
What a weird thing to say.
Is Trump wrong here though really?
Like I agree that his supporters suck.
In fact, it may be the least weird thing he’s ever said.
Very weird that he slips up and speaks truth sometimes,
When I first bought my house, the first thing i did was remodel and finish the basement.
I put the new master bath there, along with an office and living room.
It’s easier to keep comfortable in every season, is easier to block light out of (I work nights) and there’s less noise coming in from outside.
We should all become hobbits, and I don’t like being confused with the idiot trolls that are his base.
This will just cause Maga to wear “proud basement dweller” t shirts
He might be right but these people vote for him.
Basement dwellers is an upgrade from trolls
