While speaking with Jimmy Kimmel, former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson revealed some things she picked up when working for Donald Trump, including learning about what he's afraid of.
"So, he, Donald Trump has, I don’t know if you know this or if anybody’s this is I don’t know if… he does have a very potent fear of being poisoned," Hutchinson said on the Wednesday, October 4, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. "So he uses and prefers the small Heinz glass bottles because he likes to hear his valet, whoever is serving him this meal. He likes to hear the pop when he …"
"Really? That’s why? I thought his hands were so little. It seemed like like a real ketchup bottle. Its for poisoning, huh. Do you think he’s got this fear of being poisoned from all the ex-wives or where did he…" the comedian replied.
"Or is it Russia? I don’t know.." Hutchinson said, to which Kimmel added, "Good to know. I don’t think Russia’s poisoning him."
Elsewhere in the chat, Hutchinson, who recently wrote a book called Enough, explained why it took her a while to speak up about the former president's crazy antics.
“There is this notion of loyalty in Trump World,” she stated. “What I refer to as Trump World, which is Donald Trump and his associates or whoever is surrounding him on that given day because it fluctuates and changes. There is a pressure to stay loyal, especially when you’re in the circle of trust and that’s the position that I had.”

“Something clicked for me — like, that he was there to represent people like I was accustomed to growing up around,” Hutchinson said. “It was just this magnetism that I felt, and at the same time I did feel a draw to public service.”
At the end of the day, she doesn't regret her time spent with Trump.
“I used to say I was in the right place at the right time, and that’s how I got elevated to my role you know. Now I’m, was at the wrong place the wrong time? Wrong place at the right time? I don’t know," she shared.
