Stephanie Grisham said that former President Trump "will be about revenge" if he's elected in 2024.- "He will probably have some pretty draconian policies that go on," she said on ABC on Monday.
- Trump has not yet declared his intentions for 2024, but has teased a run for months.

"He's on his revenge tour for people who dared to vote for impeachment," she said. "I want to just warn people that once he takes office, if he were to win, he doesn't have to worry about reelection anymore. He will be about revenge."
"He will probably have some pretty draconian policies that go on," Grisham added. "There were conversations a lot of times that people would say, 'That'll be the second term.' Meaning, we won't have to worry about a reelection."
When asked by Stephanopoulos if she thinks that Trump will actually run, Grisham said she was increasingly starting to get the feeling that he would throw his hat into the ring.
"I didn't at first, but I'm starting to believe he will," she said. "He's clearly the frontrunner in the Republican Party. Everybody's showing their fealty to him."

In excerpts from the memoir that have been already been released, Grisham described the atmosphere of the White House under Trump in unflattering terms, deriding it as "a hot mess."
"I can give you endless metaphors to describe the Trump White House from a press person's perspective - living in a house that was always on fire or in an insane asylum where you couldn't tell the difference between the patients and the attendants or on a roller coaster that never stopped - but trust me, it was a hot mess 24/7," she wrote. "How people did the job without going crazy was a question in itself."
