'Who believes her lies': Internet mocks Alyssa Farah Griffin as she asserts Trump would accept funds from US adversaries

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin has made a startling assertion about her former boss, suggesting that if given the opportunity, Donald Trump would not hesitate to accept money from U.S. adversaries.

Griffin's remarks come amidst Trump's current legal battles, including a looming deadline to post a $454 million bond as a prerequisite for appealing a civil judgment against him.

Trump's legal woes and financial burdens

This judgment stems from a New York court finding him guilty of inflating his assets to defraud financial institutions. Additionally, Trump faces substantial financial liabilities, including more than $80 million owed to E Jean Carroll, whom he was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming.

During an appearance on CNN's The Source, Griffin emphasized the severity of Trump's predicament, characterizing it as a significant blow to his brand. She expressed concerns about Trump's propensity for recklessness when cornered, suggesting that he might make risky decisions in such circumstances.

Griffin went on to raise the alarming possibility of Trump seeking financial aid from foreign sources, including adversaries of the United States.

Griffin stated, “It’s incredibly bad. This is a total blow to the brand of Trump. Trump is as much a brand as he is a businessman. In some ways, even more so… But what I’m worried about is this – when Donald Trump is backed into a corner, he gets reckless and he makes reckless decisions.”

Exploring potential for foreign financial assistance

Griffin then floated the possibility of Trump seeking financial assistance from overseas. She said, “Where’s he going to turn? There’s a possibility he’s going to look to foreign– it could be adversaries, it could be individuals within nations at our adversaries to lend him money if he’s not able to secure loans here. And I think that’s a very real possibility that folks need to be thinking about in the broader context of this.”

Responding to a question from guest host Sara Sidner regarding the plausibility of Trump seeking funds from countries like China or Russia, Griffin asserted, "Trump lacks a moral compass when it comes to prioritizing America's interests over his own."

She suggested that he would not hesitate to accept financial assistance from oligarchs or business officials representing adversarial nations.

“That’s a really big point that you just said there,” Sidner said, “because if you look at who he’s bringing back into the fold, trying to bring in people like Paul Manafort, who had millions of dollars that were stored in foreign accounts all over the place. Do you really think that that Donald Trump being pushed to a financial point would reach out to a China or a Russia?”

Griffin replied, “Donald Trump does not have a moral compass when it comes to America’s standing in the world, how we interact with our adversaries. And he certainly puts his interests before the country. So, if an oligarch in a Russia, or a Chinese business official wants to help him get this money, I have no question that he would end up accepting it.”

Griffin's remarks echo sentiments expressed earlier by former CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who remarked that foreign financing might be Trump's only viable option given his current circumstances.

Criticism and dismissal of Griffin's claims

The responses on social media to Griffin's assertions reflect a mix of skepticism, dismissiveness, and outright criticism.

One user wrote, "Who believes her lies?"

Another added, ""Ex-Trump Official"...lol, she mostly worked for Pence and did the drift after Trump couldn't promise her a job after he loss in '20."

One user replied,"Conspiracy theories."

Another wrote, "Oh shut up."
