Trump Demands That His Former Comms Director Be FIRED From The View

Donald Trump's former communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin has found a lucrative gig as a commentator first on CNN and then on ABC's The View after leaving The White House, and she's made a name for herself trashing her former boss. Trump has noticed, and this week he called for her to be fired for fraud from The View because she misrepresented herself somehow. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why Trump might not be wrong about Griffin being a fraud (though that doesn't mean she should be fired.)

Donald Trump this week demanded that his one time communications director, Alyssa Farra Griffin, be fired from her position as one of the co-hosts on The View. Now, over the summer, Megan McCain left the View, Maybe it was even before that. I don't know the timeline. I don't care either. But Megan McCain leaves the view they were looking for a conservative voice. They found Alyssa Farra Griffin, who had been working at CNN pretty much ever since leaving the Trump administration. And Trump hasn't been happy with Griffin, cuz Griffin, of course, has become an outspoken critic of Donald Trump ever since she left that administration. So here is what he posted on Truth Social. This week, Alyssa Farra totally misrepresented her true feelings about me and the Trump administration in order to get her job at ratings disaster. See it in and a seat with the low IQ people at the View. Look at what she said about me. And that doesn't include the beautiful letters she sent and other statements she made. They should fire her for misrepresentation or fraud. Release the letter. Alyssa should fire her for fraud.

Now that's, that's, that's not fraud. Let's be very clear about that. Fraud is a crime. This is not a crime. And I don't think she should be fired for misrepresentation. But I do think that Trump makes a point that has a little bit of merit. Okay? I, I don't wanna give the guy any credit, but by God, I gotta give him a little bit of credit here because he does see what's happening and he knows better than anybody that this is a farce. This is a money making grab by Alyssa Far Griffin. And I agree with him on that. I think she is the kind of person who took the job with Donald Trump in the White House because she thought, Oh boy, this is gonna kick start my career. And then she leaves. She sees that everybody out here in the rest of the world hates the guy.

So she's like, uh, I, I hate 'em too. Hey, I've got insider information. You want me to talk about it? And the media, like you said, CNN is like, Oh hell yeah, we can get this person. She was in the administration. She now says she hates him. She's got all this dirt on him. Let's hire her and maybe we'll save our network. And then the view of course is like, well, we need a conservative, but we don't want like a mega type. We need somebody who also hates Donald Trump. So we could just crap on him all day and she'll chime right in. That's why they picked her. Now what does Alyssa Fair Griffin actually believe? I don't know. I honestly don't even know if she knows. You know, she's just a political chameleon. And we see people like this all the time. Typically we call them opportunistic Grifters. And I don't think it's out of the realm of, you know, reasonability to apply that same label to Alyssa Farra Griffin. She

Saw where the money was, she knew what she had to say to get the money. So she said the things. That's that. Now, should she be fired for it? No. Should she be charged with fraud for it? Definitely not. But should we take every single thing that she says with a grain of salt? 100%.
