‘Trump uses you until there is no use for you anymore’ – Former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham lashes out at him
Stephanie Grisham who was the predecessor to former US president Donald Trump’s ex-press secretary Kayleigh McEnany (pictured above), says his lashing out at MCEnany came as no surprise to her.
Trump, 76, turned on McEnany, 35, last week after she said on Fox News that the ex-president was polling 25 points ahead of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in Iowa, which he claimed was an undersell.
Grisham (pictured below), who served as White House press secretary in 2019, told CNN’s Jim Acosta that Trump’s Truth Social rant dubbing her successor “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany” was his character.
“This is what he does,” Grisham said on Sunday, June 4. “He uses you until there is no use for you anymore, or until you dare to say something that could possibly be construed against him.”
Grisham, 46, noted that McEnany was a loyal press secretary to Trump from April 2020 until he left office, saying that McEnany “fought hard for him, especially in the days after Jan. 6.”
“It didn’t surprise me,” Grisham added of Trump’s outburst. “You know this is going to happen to you eventually. When he has no use for you, you’re going to be gone.”
Grisham expressed similar sentiment after Trump first made the explosive comments, taking to Twitter to write: “He. WILL. Turn. On You. There is only loyalty to HIM – not the country, the constitution, his constituents, or anything/anyone else.”
Critics across Twitter were quick to come to McEnany’s defense as well, many echoing Grisham’s comments that McEnany was always loyal to Trump as his press secretary.
