A palpable weariness, almost a detachment, colored Kathy Griffin’s recent commentary on her YouTube show, as she spoke about her disinterest in former President Trump. Her words, delivered with a noticeable cadence, revealed a sentiment that went beyond simple political disagreement.
Griffin confessed a profound boredom with the former president, stating she no longer actively seeks out news coverage focused on him. She expressed disillusionment with cable news, even the channels she once relied upon, finding the constant repetition and limited scope of topics unsatisfying.
She voiced a broader critique of the American media landscape, suggesting it was failing to provide substantive coverage of important issues. This dissatisfaction seemed to fuel her increasingly stark pronouncements regarding the former president.
In a particularly striking statement, Griffin openly admitted to “waiting for [Trump] to die,” elaborating with harsh and intensely personal criticisms of his appearance and character. She described him as “disgusting to look at,” a sentiment she insisted wasn’t rooted in vanity but in her revulsion towards his actions and persona.
This isn’t the first instance of Griffin’s intensely negative feelings towards the former president spilling into controversial statements. Her past actions, including a widely condemned staged photograph, previously drew the attention of the Secret Service and placed her on Interpol’s watch list.
Years prior, she even suggested a violent act to CNN’s Jim Acosta, responding to a tweet about the former president’s health with a suggestion to use an air-filled syringe – a potentially lethal proposition due to the risk of air embolisms.
Recently, Griffin also garnered attention for a different kind of spectacle: the unveiling of newly tattooed lips. She documented the process and results on social media, describing the healing as “something” and soliciting opinions on the dramatic change.
Throughout the years, a pattern has emerged – Griffin’s outspoken animosity towards the former president consistently generates headlines, raising questions about the motivations behind her provocative statements and their impact on public discourse.
