BOCA RATON (CBSMiami) -- Tony Senecal was Donald Trump's butler at Mar-a-Lago for more than 20 years and like his former boss, he's got some pretty strong views of his own.
"I really believe that that phony who's serving as the president should be hung by the American military," Senecal said. "He should be hung and tried by the American military."
Senecal spoke to members of the Tiger Bay Club in Boca Raton, sharing stories of what it was like working for Trump.
"When you work for him, there are three rules you don't break. You don't lie to him, you don't steal from him and you don't embarrass him," he said.
There's no question, he's a huge Trump supporter. He's defending the Republican candidate after Trump said the judge hearing his Trump University civil case is biased because of his Mexican heritage.
Even fellow Republicans are blasting him, calling that a racist remark.
Not Senecal.
"Oh that's bull crap," said Senecal. "He doesn't have a racist bone in his body."
As for comments that Trump doesn't have the temperament to lead the nation, he said, "Oh come on! That's so dumb! That is just so dumb!"
Some of the people who heard him speak in Boca are undecided as to who they will vote for but many liked the stories from someone who knows him out of the spotlight.
"His insights are amazing," said undecided voter Neil Burmeister. "And I think that's what we're all here for, to find out what the man is."
CBS 4's Ted Scouten asked Senecal if he'd like to work in a Trump White House as a butler. He said he'd love to but only for 24 hours so he could add it to his résumé.
