Stephanie Grisham says when Trump 'needed someone to tell him how awesome he was' he'd call Matt Gaetz, who would 'sing for his supper'Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary, wrote in her new memoir that White House staffers believed Rep. Matt Gaetz "would do anything" for former President Donald Trump.
Grisham said Trump's aides would get Gaetz, a Florida Republican, on the phone to give the president pep talks or run interference on news shows.
"We all knew that whenever Trump needed someone to defend him on TV on anything, Gaetz was our boy," Grisham wrote in "I'll Take Your Questions Now."
She went on: "He would do anything for Trump and a TV hit - though not necessarily in that order. When the president needed someone to tell him how awesome he was, the staff would get Gaetz on the line and he'd sing for his supper."
