In her conversation with CNN, Stephanie Grisham pointed out that in the past, when infidelity rumors rocked the Trumps, the former first lady made it clear that she wouldn’t play the publicly adoring, forgiving wife. In fact, Grisham revealed that when news broke of Donald Trump’s rumored affairs with Stormy Daniels and Playboy alum Karen McDougal, Melanie made a point of putting distance between them. “We went to the State of the Union separately, [and] she refused to walk out to Marine One with him because she did not want to be like Hillary Clinton and standing by her man … she is a very independent and strong woman,” Grisham recounted.
It’s not the first time Grisham has hinted that Melania won’t be cast as a supportive partner in the face of infidelity. As some may remember, back in 2018, after Rudy Giuliani made bold claims that Melania believed Donald was faithful, Grisham (who was at the time Melania’s press secretary) clapped back in a very telling way. In a statement to CNN, Grisham said, “I don’t believe Mrs. Trump has ever discussed her thoughts on anything with Mr. Giuliani.” Yikes.
As Grisham told CNN ahead of the hush money trial, Donald’s latest legal woe carries the most weight for him personally. Grisham’s predictions are yet to be proven correct or not. However, given what she’s seen in the past, there’s a very good chance she’s right about Melania’s current feelings.
