Americans are rightfully celebrating today after United States history was made yesterday when scandal-plagued former President Donald Trump was found guilty by a jury of his peers on all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s infamous Stormy Daniels Hush Money case — marking the very first time in the history of his nation that a former US president has been convicted of a crime.
However, as thrilled as we all are to see Donald Trump brought to just a fraction of the justice that he truly deserves, one of his former aides is sounding the red alarm warning bells on what’s about to come from her former boss who is now officially more desperate and petrified than he’s ever been — and, to be frank, it should absolutely terrify you.
Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin delivered her warning on today’s episode of ABC’s The View when the audience broke into a round of cheers as the talk show panel reported on the 34-charge felony conviction against Donald Trump in New York City.
Griffin noted that she was “still somehow shocked” as she listened to reporting on the list of every single count and every single guilty verdict that came with them as they were read aloud in the Manhattan courtroom where her former boss has spent the last several weeks on trial.

“My first thought honestly was I feared for the safety of the judge and the jury, and I hope that they had security,” the former Trump White House aide said. “We live in a moment of politically violent rhetoric that I think is very dangerous.”
Griffin went on to draw from her personal experiences and relationship with Donald Trump as she warned the nation about the ex-president’s likely response to this historical event.
“There’s something in him that thinks he’s untouchable and will get away with everything,” she explained. “And even though this was the likely outcome, I don’t think he thought it was going to come.”
Griffin goes on to say that she believes Trump’s lies regarding the 2020 presidential election were motivated by that same notion.
“He can’t believe that he lost,” she said.
She went on to touch on the biggest fear of many American voters as she noted that Trump’s motivation to secure the White House in just a few months has never been more fierce than it is now.
“There is a world in which he could get away with this if he becomes president before this is fully adjudicated,” Griffin explains. “And running for president to stay out of jail is a hell of a motivator. He’s going to do and say absolutely anything that he can to get elected.”
“Buckle up,” Griffin warned viewers and the American people because, in her opinion, Trump is preparing to rain down “rage and retribution” to a level we’ve never seen before.
Fellow View host Ana Navarro weighed in with similar sentiment, noting that she celebrated the news but did not ignore the seriousness and the weight of this moment.
“I think it’s a very serious, somber day,” Navarro said. “I can’t believe where we are in our democracy where the presumptive Republican nominee, the party of law and order, the party of family values, is nominating a guy who just got convicted on 34 counts for paying Stormy Daniels hush money.”
