'Those are his babies': Ex-Trump aide names properties he would be 'devastated' to lose

A former spokesperson for Donald Trump revealed he has a handful of real estate properties that he considers his "babies" — and if New York Attorney General Letitia James seized them, it would leave the former president "devastated."

Stephanie Grisham, who served as White House communications director from July 2019 until April 2020, was talking to CNN's Erin Burnett Monday after Trump's lawyers revealed they have been unable to secure a bond to cover the $464 million in damages he owes after being found liable for fraud.

The money is due next week, and James has vowed to seize Trump's properties if he fails to pay.

"I think if it were to happen, 40 Wall Street is probably the one that he would, I mean, he would hate it,' Grisham said.

"But I think if she tried to seize Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster or Trump Tower even, I mean, those are his babies."

What would really hurt, she said, is if Trump lost ownership of any of his properties that have golf courses associated with them.

"You've got the Sterling golf course in Virginia. Any of the properties with golf courses, I think, would absolutely devastate him."

Grisham added that for Trump, who has frequently bragged about his wealth, having his inability to pay $464 million aired in public is going to be embarrassing.

The fact that this is now being covered by the media, this is going to be very, very hard on his ego," she said.

"And not just Donald Trump, but the entire family. This is going to hurt them. It's going to hurt their egos and I'm sure soon, it'll be tonight, maybe tomorrow. We're going to hear about the left-wing Democrats going after him, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera."

Shortly after Grisham spoke, Trump posted on his Truth Social site — and he did attack the judge and prosecutor in the fraud case for being politically biased.

A MAGA senator was walloped online after he parroted a head-spinning Trump defense of his dubious Iran deal.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) was asked by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday about Trump's deal to end the war with Iran.

"Are you okay with Iran having missiles?" Collins asked.

Marshall responded, "I prefer that they not, but they have to defend themselves," echoing Trump, who hours earlier defended letting Iran keep its ballistic missiles because "other people have some."

Commentators online let Marshall have it for rehashing a line that doesn't make much sense and for shamelessly flipping his positions to be in lockstep with Trump.

"This guy will say whatever Trump says on any given day," Ron Filipkowski, the editor-in-chief of the MeidasTouch news network, said. "He has no core beliefs. His political philosophy is whatever position Trump takes today, which may be different from the position Trump had yesterday."

"Trump/flunkie Republican senator says Iran has to be able to defend itself," summarized journalist John Harwood.

"Couldn't we have just come to this conclusion before 13 Americans and thousands of Iranians died for nothing?" asked American Saga writer Zaid Jilani.

"So America's adversaries need to be able to defend themselves against America for America's sake?" wondered Max Meizlish, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. "Got it. Nothing to see here. Nothing weird going on at all."

Spanish-language journalist León Krauze described the comments as "surreal." Meanwhile, Pradheep J. Shanker, a doctor and contributor for the National Review, simply wrote, "JFC" to express his frustration.

A former top MAGA White House aide warned that Trump is headed for "five-stage denialism" after his biggest flop yet.

Anthony Scaramucci, Trump's former White House communications director, made the prediction during an interview on The Daily Beast Podcast while talking about the recently announced Iran deal.

"You've heard of five-stage clingers? He's gonna go into five-stage denialism," Scaramucci said. "And he's gonna triple down on this. And he's gonna start saying things to people that are absolutely not true."

Scaramucci admitted that "the denialism of Trump" has been "the cornerstone of his success for his entire public life," but said that it's "now what's kicked in."

The deal, which reportedly includes a $300 billion fund for Iran, was an "abject failure," Scaramucci said. "In his quiet moments in his mind, he understands that this has been a disaster."

President Donald Trump got his chosen candidate in the U.S. Senate race in Georgia, where Rep. Mike Collins clinched the nomination last night — and he plans to go all in on supporting him.

In the same post where the president trashed incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and came up with an obscene nickname for him, Trump vowed that he will be holding campaign rallies in the state to help Collins, saying, "I’ll be doing Big TRUMP Rallies for Mike in Georgia!"

This earned a wave of mockery from commenters on social media, as although Trump narrowly carried the state in 2024, he isn't popular there in current polls, and his presence would likely just drag down the Republican ticket there.

"Jon Ossoff just ordered another bottle of scotch," wrote The Independent's Eric Michael Garcia, adding that Trump rallies would be "Risky no doubt. Collins is already considered very right wing and Trump is underwater in Georgia."

"LMAO yeah sure, bring out the super unpopular president in the middle of a race," wrote the Polling USA account. "Even Bush knew better than this."

"'Please don't throw me in that brier patch.' - Jon Ossoff," wrote Middle Georgia University professor Christopher Lawrence — a reference to the story of Brer Rabbit.

"Ossoff might win by double digits," wrote political analyst Andrew Donaldson.
