Ex-White House Press Secretary Says She's 'Nervous' Following Trump's 'Chilling' Post

Stephanie Grisham, a White House press secretary under former President Donald Trump, said her ex-boss’ “chilling” Truth Social post made her “nervous” and declared that it should make other Trump critics feel similarly on Friday.

Grisham, who also served as a chief of staff to former First Lady Melania Trump, weighed in after the former president wrote “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” on his social media platform.

“Well, I think it’s chilling. Legally, it doesn’t seem like it’s very smart. But how is that not intimidation? And, you know, what other people are going to take a message from that?” Grisham told CNN’s Brianna Keilar on Friday.

“As we have seen and heard, people really believe that Donald Trump sent them to the Capitol and people really felt like hours later when he said to stop, they listened.”

Trump’s post led to prosecutors calling for a protective order from a federal judge overseeing the former president’s 2020 election case late Friday. The order would restrict what the former president and his legal team could disclose to the general public about the case, the Associated Press noted.

I cannot believe that jackass was sitting in our White House.
Hopefully, when this is all over, our government can sit down and make sure selfish criminals like tfg, never head our country again.

If the current lawyer wants to keep Mini-Capone from violating terms of his personal recognizance bond, what should he do?

The answer is simple, the execution is difficult:

Don’t let the client post threatening messages with his phone (likely) on Truth effin’ Social.

At least take away his phone like a bad teenager, even if it becomes a physical struggle. Any lawyer with any brains knows the traitor will post because he’s uncontrollable by himself. He just grabs his phone and does whatever he wants. That’s the line in the sand—take away the phone or make friends under the bus with the rest of the star-struck lawyers.
