Stephanie Grisham, White House press secretary to first lady Melania Trump, is out with a book that paints a deeply unflattering picture of Donald Trump — a man with a “terrifying” temper who ogled a young aide and tried to impress dictators while president, she writes.
Grisham describes Melania as a Marie Antoinette figure who refused to condemn the violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 as Trump's supporters stormed the building to halt certification of 2020 election results.
Grisham writes she texted Melania Trump as the scene unfolded. “Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?" she asked. "Literally one minute later Melania Trump sent me back a one-word response: ‘No.’”
“Trump's temper was terrifying. He questioned people’s confidence, their looks, their intelligence — whatever he thought would do the most damage to someone’s psych."
Trump had particular contempt for the White House lawyers. “He didn't like them telling him that things he wanted to do were unethical or illegal."
Staff tried to temper his impulses by stalling or distracting in a White House “where everything was like a clown car on fire running at full speed into a warehouse full of fireworks."
“He always seemed to want dictators to respect him,” Grisham writes, pointing in particular to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom staff suspected of arranging for an attractive interpreter and coughing to throw Trump off-guard.
Grisham also writes that Trump “frequently said insane things to foreign leaders.”
One reason, Grisham writes, that she didn’t want to hold formal press briefings was that she knew that ”sooner or later the president would want me to tell the public something that was not true or that would make me sound like a lunatic.”

I hope she doesn’t, but you’re right about that being all
that matters to her.
“He always seemed to want dictators to respect him”
He really wanted Dictators to fear The United States!!!
“This retarded 45 year old 2 time divorcee single mom from Colorado started to believe she was a policy setter.”
I wonder who convinced Trump to have her anywhere near the White House.
Put a red wig on beer and you have Pszuckerberg
> 2 time divorcee
She must be charming.
“I have seen that guy before.”

Echo that.
Sell-outs? Traitors?
The English language is rich with suitable words.
Regards,
We do not elect a partnership. First ladies are not in a position of power, advisor, nor do they carry a vote on any decision. The citizenry have been abused in the past by power wielding first ladies, it’s illegal and should not have been allowed. FLOTUS 45 was correct in not getting involved or inserting herself into the process.
27. Perhaps Grisham was channeling the future Pres. Biden.
True that. Melania Trump was the epitome of grace and charm. Never a false step. She endured a lot of garbage from lesser people whose jealous raving reflected on them not her.
Unfortunately Trump's choice of people to surround himself with during is administration was really terrible.
That's all that any of these authors care about.
Resigned.
Stephanie is excrement defined.
That’s a man, baby.
Blah…blabla…blah
I see a 10 cent bargain bin book in your future, sweetie.
Here’s what I takeaway.
NO ONE is allowed to get angry in their own home.
NO ONE is supposed be casual and relaxed in their own home.
No one is supposed to voice an opinion except those agreeing with the MSM.
What an evil person she is, to watch people with whom she is close, act HUMAN.
She is, in my final analysis...A CREEP.
Stick to the paint balls captain because you would not know what to do with real bullets. Trump will be vindicated and reinstated, only a matter of time now.
Not newsy that Trump was a bit of a narcissistic lout.
And there she was as a viperous aide to Melania, without, despite her efforts, coming up with anything that makes Melania look other than good and smart.
Staff tried to temper his impulses by stalling or distracting in a White House “where everything was like a clown car on fire running at full speed into a warehouse full of fireworks.”
Given Trumps 4 years of unrivaled success and the unmitigated disaster that is Biden I don’t really see her point here.
