Stephanie Grisham excoriates ex-president at Democratic convention and says ‘he has no empathy, no morals’

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.”

      In the article it said that the terms of the contest said that if it did not happen, a substitute prize would be chosen. Then, it said that it was reported a couple (from Mississippi) won it. Those details weren’t confirmed independently, but they probably wriggled enough to be off the hook.

        Yes, because nothing says honor and integrity like “terms and conditions may apply.”

        The point is that Donnie wouldn’t let most of his supporters into a life raft, much less the White House.

          It’s a contest and they are required to have terms and conditions–look it up. It’s a technicality and Trump thinks he’s better than us poors, but it makes it legal, not the right thing to do. If there was evidence he never intended to have dinner with them, that would be illegal.
