Stephanie Grisham, a former White House press secretary under President Donald Trump, expressed her concern and unease regarding Trump’s recent post on his social media platform, Truth Social. Grisham, who also served as the chief of staff to former First Lady Melania Trump, commented on the post in which Trump stated, “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” She described it as “chilling” and questioned its legality and potential for intimidation. Grisham emphasized the impact such a message could have on others who criticize Trump, referring to the belief held by some that Trump’s previous remarks influenced the events at the Capitol on January 6.
Following Trump’s post, prosecutors requested a protective order from a federal judge overseeing Trump’s 2020 election case. The purpose of this order would be to limit the public disclosure of specific details and grand jury transcripts by Trump and his legal team, as it could have a detrimental effect on potential witnesses and the fair administration of justice.
Grisham further voiced her unease caused by Trump’s post, raising the question of when online intimidation will be taken seriously by people. She highlighted the impact on individuals who have spoken out against Trump, including herself, who regularly receives death threats. Grisham stressed that such online intimidation should make anyone who has ever criticized Trump feel nervous, considering the significant number of individuals who fall into this category.
In response to the concerns raised, a Trump spokesperson, in a statement obtained by Reuters, argued that Trump’s post falls under the definition of political speech and was a response to specific groups and organizations aligned against him.
