Ex-Aide Reveals The Text Reply She Got From Melania Trump On Jan. 6—And It Speaks Volumes

Ex-Aide Reveals The Text Reply She Got From Melania Trump On Jan. 6—And It Speaks Volumes

Stephanie Grisham, former aide to First Lady Melania Trump, has released new information about Mrs. Trump's response to the January 6 insurrection, and it's both shocking and unsurprising all at the same time.

Grisham, who was Mrs. Trump's Chief of Staff at the time, has already discussed Mrs. Trump's blasé response to January 6 in her now-infamous tell-all book released last year.


This week, during former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's shocking testimony to the House Select Committee's on the events of January 6, Grisham released a screenshot, seen below, of a text exchange she had with the First Lady during the event.

And it speaks volumes about the attitude inside the White House that Hutchinson described.

In the text exchange, Grisham asked the former First Lady:

"Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness & violence?"

Trump's response required one simple word.

"No"

Well okay then. Message received, Mrs. Trump.

The exchange is in keeping with multiple anecdotes about the inside workings of the White House on that day, including those Grisham shared in her book and most especially the testimony of Hutchinson, former aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

During her sworn testimony and depositions, Hutchinson detailed how former Republican President Donald Trump expressly approved of the violence unfolding at the Capitol and "didn't care" that the mob was heavily armed.

She also testified that he was enraged by attempts to tamp the violence down and keep him safe from it, including getting into a physical altercation with the Secret Service.

Grisham's version of events and the text exchange she shared, posted to Twitter during Hutchinson's testimony, seems to corroborate her account and reveals Mrs. Trump was at the very least unwilling to challenge her husband's stance on the violence.

On Twitter, people were equal parts astonished and unsurprised by Mrs. Trump's "I don't really care, do you?" take on January 6.





Many others were angered by the post, which they saw as just one more important piece of evidence Grisham chose to opportunistically withhold until long after the fact.



Grisham famously resigned on January 6, though she did not offer a reason at the time, saying in a statement that she was "proud of the many accomplishments of this Administration."

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
