Stephanie Grisham says Trump greatly admired Putin and 'wanted to be able to kill whoever spoke out

against him

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.

I think I first read that in Mary Trump's book.

One can only imagine the "family values" that were incubated in the brothel.

Like Bill Barr, I am sure she will just fall in line even though she is describing him as a dictator wannabe. That's how "principled" republicans are.

The only reasons for his existence was the Republican Party, and more specifically the Republican Senate, his administration and almost as big a major factor: FOX NEWS AND RIGHT WING RADIO.

Not allowing Trump in power again is important, but him being banished is a very small thing compared to the rest who put him in office, and kept him in office no matter how bad he acted......

My fear is that the Republicans will find a softer, gentler candidate, but one who will QUITELY execute their master plan........

HILLARY SUMMED IT UP BEST WHEN SHE SAID: THERE IS A VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY......

Let's make a reality TV show "New Planet" where we send Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Donald, Some of those Sheiks and Vladimir off to Mars to run rival colonies, we can send some or all the Magats, the Russian War criminals and other crooks up with them. I don't personally think Mars is a good option at 39% of our gravity so we should do like the UK did with Australia with it.

It looks like Vlad is in the process of killing whoever he wants with the invasion of Ukraine. Our favorite con man, liar and a cheat is chomping at the bit to get back in power to attempt to follow in his BFF’s footsteps. Of course he’ll have the republicans support to do anything he wants.

Vlad is the type of leader Don wants to be. It’s clear that Trump holds deep hate toward his “enemies”, but he can’t do anything about it like Vlad can.

Sick fucks, those two.

Very alarming. One of the best things that ever happened was getting that crazy thing out of office. I have no doubt that if TFG had the power, he’d kill American citizen dissenters.
