2024 Election
Trump is ‘No Longer The Same Man I Worked For’ Warns Ex-Ally: ‘Something In Him Broke’ After 2020 Election Loss
This is a woman who would know.
There are plenty of people who have or had first-hand knowledge of Donald Trump’s behavior both now and during his term as president. From Republican leaders in Congress who supported him often enough to curry favor, to Secret Service agents, to accountants and lawyers, lots of folks were privy to the way the man works.
But only two kinds of close-quarters employees have told us the truly scary stuff about Trump that consistently makes the news. Chiefs of Staff like John Kelly, who recently told us that Trump admired Hitler to the point that he wished he had “German generals” like the deceased dictator, who would do his bidding without question; and people on his communications teams.
Why the latter? Well, in an administration run on an engine of lies, the fuel has to be just right. And only Donald could fill the tank. He had to communicate more with Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Anthony Scaramucci and that whole carousel of media point guards than anyone else in even his Cabinet in order for things to run the way he wanted.
That’s why I don’t doubt John Kelly when he says Trump is a fascist, and I don’t doubt former Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews when she says that we’re past the numbers onto that weird blank space at the end of Trump’s mental measuring tape.

Appearing Thursday night on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, the White House insider agreed with her host that Trump had become “unstable” recently.
“That’s been my warning to Republican voters out there. This isn’t the same man that I worked for. I think that something in him broke in the 2020 election. He was unable to accept that loss and he started to unravel,” she said before adding, that he was “hell-bent on revenge and retribution.”
Matthews went on to compare the Democratic and Republican nominees: “She’s focused on solutions; he’s focused on petty arguments and getting revenge on people.”
I’d say that sums things up pretty well, actually. His rhetoric has been getting more and more violent and vulgar, with the New York Times even reporting that between his first campaign and this one, his use of foul language is up 69% in his speeches.
But swearing doesn’t begin to cover it. He’s twisting himself into knots about whether his opponent worked in fast food, he’s freaking out on social media, he’s outright threatening the guy who’s prosecuting him, and some even believe that he’s beginning to hallucinate.
It’s gotten so bad that he — the most attention-seeking presidential candidate of all time — is actually dodging the media. He recently skipped a few interviews due to “exhaustion,” and even sat out the sit-down with 60 Minutes that candidates do every four years.
I definitely wouldn’t discount anything Sarah Matthews says about Donald Trump. She knows him personally, and she’s one of the few Trump aides that got out of his administration with her integrity intact.
