Steffi DUI Grisham: It's "irresponsible & dangerous" to question "honest info I put out"



Press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Saturday argued it was “dangerous for the country” for anyone to challenge the veracity of her claims.

Grisham made her argument after President Donald Trump went to Walter Reed Hospital for an unannounced doctor’s visit, resulting in a great deal of speculation.

Following the visit, Grisham claimed Trump was “healthy” and “without complaints” — a claim many found unlikely as the president has spent a good deal of time as president airing his many grievances.

“Further speculation beyond the extensive & honest info I put out is wholly irresponsible & dangerous for the country,” Grisham argued.

4. Of all the people on the planet to choose as press secretary, the worst "president" in the history

of the planet picks this one. The absolute worst. Not only does she not hold press conferences, she only appears on state television. As one of the people paying her salary, I want her fired yesterday. Wonder if you can still put petitions on the White House site or if you're only allowed to praise Dear Leader.

7. Her account of Trump's "part one" of his "annual physical" (which he HAD in February)...

...rings with all the truth that accompanied Melania's brave endurance of the "kidney procedure" she went through a while back.

Her bravery still continues to inspire me on a daily basis.

10. The audience does not establish a source's credibility.

Credibility is a function of integrity, knowledge, intent and reputation.

She ain’t got jack shit in any of that.

They actually found someone more hideous than Sarah.

I didn't know that was possible.

These guys make women look absolutely awful by choosing only the worst women to represent them. Makes me sick.

I mean, c'mon. She's a mouthpiece. She passes on lies from the Liar in Chief.

..."If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Dr. Harold Bornstein, a gastroenterologist from Lenox Hospital in New York, wrote at the time.

The letter said that a recent medical exam showed "only positive results" for the then-candidate and that "his physical strength and stamina are extraordinary."


As NPR's Jessica Taylor reported at the time: "The full letter is written in true Trumpian fashion, full of hyperbole and boasting of greatness. Bornstein calls Trump's blood pressure 'astonishingly excellent.' "

However, Bornstein now tells CNN that Trump was the one who wrote it after all.

"He dictated that whole letter. I didn't write that letter," Bornstein told CNN on Tuesday. "I just made it up as I went along."

Trump, who was 70 when he assumed office, is the oldest person ever to be elected president.


Bornstein's admission comes as he also tells NBC that a longtime personal bodyguard for Trump, along with a top lawyer at the Trump Organization and a third man, conducted a "raid" on his office on Feb. 3, 2017, in which they seized the president's medical records."...(more)
