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.”

    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?

      Political affiliation has never mattered to Donald Trump and more Republicans need to come to grasp with that fact.

      For Don the Con, loyalty to him comes above everything else, including the Republican party. If/when someone strays from that, they get thrown under the bus.
