Since January, former President Donald Trump has been living in Florida with his family, including his wife, Melania, and their son, Barron, who just started a new school. However, recent speculation suggests that he may well enter the Presidential race in 2024. But before any potential political aspirations, Trump may have more pressing matters to deal with.
Recently, new details concerning his four-year tenure at the White House have been brought to light in a memoir by former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham. In her book, I’ll Take Your Questions Now, Grisham divulged details about Trump’s presidency, with particular emphasis on one moment where he became frustrated with First Lady Melania.
According to Grisham, Trump yelled at her, asking “what the f… they thought they were doing”. This revelation paints a picture of a less-than-pleasant work environment for those who worked closely with the former President.
Grisham’s memoir is not the only one to reveal details about Trump’s time in the White House. Many former White House officials have spoken out about their experiences under his leadership. However, Grisham’s book is one of the first to focus specifically on the former First Lady’s role and experiences.
It’s worth noting that these details have not been confirmed by Trump or his team. However, they do add to the growing list of negative accounts of his presidency and may impact his potential political aspirations in the future.
Donald Trump exploded on Melania.
In her new memoir, I’ll Take Your Questions Now, former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham revealed a specific moment when former President Donald Trump became furious with his wife and then-First Lady, Melania Trump. The incident in question occurred when Melania visited a migrant housing facility in Texas.
On her way there, Melania wore a jacket with the text “’I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?’ This was a particularly sensitive time for the Trump administration as they were under heavy criticism for their policy of separating migrant children from their family members.
Grisham, who also worked in the First Lady’s office, writes that she didn’t notice the message on Melania’s jacket. However, the visit was seen as a good opportunity for the administration to form a better image on the issue, which ultimately led to the abandonment of the program.
When Melania returned from Texas, the President was furious. According to Grisham’s memoir, Donald Trump summoned his wife to the Oval Office and yelled at her over the wearing of the tasteless jacket. “He yelled and asked “what the [expletive]” they thought they were doing,” Grisham wrote.
Melania Trump later spoke about the jacket in an interview with CNN, which made it clear that the incident was not well-received by the public. However, it remains unclear why she chose to wear it in the first place. Nevertheless, the incident adds to the growing list of negative accounts of Trump’s presidency and the inner workings of the White House during his tenure.
Heavy criticism
In an interview with CNN, Melania Trump explained the reasoning behind her controversial jacket, saying, “It’s obvious I didn’t wear the jacket for the children. I wore the jacket to go on the plane and off the plane. And it was for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticizing me.”
However, the controversy surrounding the jacket is not the only incident that former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham highlights in her new memoir, I’ll Take Your Questions Now. The Washington Post writes that she’s “particularly negative” about Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, with several incidents being described in the book.
One particularly noteworthy incident has to do with Ivanka Trump and none other than Queen Elizabeth of England. According to Grisham, Ivanka and Jared Kushner tried to push their way into a meeting with the Queen during a presidential visit. This would have been a serious breach of protocol regarding a state visit, but due to capacity issues in the helicopter, the two were not able to attend.
In her book, Grisham writes, “I finally figured out what was going on. Jared and Ivanka thought they were the royal family of the United States.” This incident highlights the couple’s lack of understanding of protocol and their inflated sense of self-importance.
It’s worth noting that Ivanka and her husband held senior positions within the White House staff, despite the fact they had no government experience before Trump took office. This further highlights the theme of nepotism in the Trump administration.
Ivanka called “the Princess” in the White House
Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham’s new memoir, I’ll Take Your Questions Now, reveals many controversial details about her time working in the Trump administration. One of the most notable revelations concerns Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.
Grisham reveals in her book that Ivanka frequently mentioned “my father” during staff meetings. Additionally, Grisham writes that First Lady Melania and other White House staff referred to her as “the Princess.” Furthermore, Grisham labels Kushner “the Slim Reaper”, claiming that he included himself in other people’s projects several times, only to then leave and let them take the blame.
“I had shared with Mrs. Trump many times my opinion that if we lost reelection in 2020 it would be because of Jared,” Grisham writes. “She didn’t disagree with me.” These statements paint a picture of a toxic work environment within the White House, with nepotism and backstabbing at the center of it.
Of course, not all have been happy about the claims made in Grisham’s book. President Trump himself slammed her and her claims ahead of its release. In a statement to The Hill, Trump said that his former press secretary “didn’t have what it takes and that was obvious from the beginning.” He went on to say that “She became very angry and bitter after her break up and as time went on, she was seldom relied upon, or even thought about. She had big problems and we felt that she should work out those problems for herself. Now, like everyone else, she gets paid by a radical left-leaning publisher to say bad and untrue things.”
It’s important to note that Grisham’s memoir is just one account of her time working in the White House. However, her statements add to the growing list of negative accounts of the Trump administration and the inner workings of the White House during his tenure.
It’s also worth noting that President Trump’s statement is a clear attempt to discredit Grisham’s book and her claims, but it remains to be seen how the public will respond to these statements and if they will believe her claims or not.
Donald Trump & Melania Trump’s history
It’s no secret that former President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, have had a tumultuous relationship. However, the story of how they first met is quite intriguing. According to reports, the couple met for the first time during a New York Fashion Show in 1998.
At the time, the wealthy real-estate mogul had just divorced his second wife, Marla Maples, and had gone to the event with a date. However, as soon as he saw Melania, he wanted to be with her instead. In an interview with Larry King in 2005, Trump said, “I went crazy. I was actually supposed to meet somebody else. There was this great supermodel sitting next to Melania. They said, ‘Look, there’s so and so.’ I said, ‘Forget about her. Who is the one on the left? And it was Melania.”
However, when they first met, Melania was not interested in Trump at all. According to her best friend, Edit Molnar, when Trump asked her for her phone number, she admitted to being “turned off” and said that he was “totally out of the question.” Molnar said, “Melania said, ‘He’s here with a woman. I am absolutely not giving him my number.’”
Melania also shared her thoughts on the matter, saying, “He wanted my number. But he was on a date, so of course I didn’t give it to him. I said, ‘I am not giving you, my number; give me yours and I will call you.’ If I give him my number, I’m just one of the women he calls.”
It’s clear that when they first met, Melania was not impressed by Trump’s charms and was not willing to give in to his advances easily. It took some persistence on his part for them to eventually start dating, but ultimately, they ended up getting married and spending over a decade together.
After some persistence on Donald Trump’s part, he and Melania eventually started a relationship. According to her best friend, Edit Molnar, Melania quickly changed her style but at first, their relationship wasn’t great. The two broke up several times before patching things up and moving in together in 2001. Around the same time, Melania got her green card and lived at Trump’s penthouse in the Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Three years later, the couple tied the knot in Florida. In 2006, they welcomed their son, Barron. As the primary caregiver, Melania was the one closest to Barron as he grew up. Donald, on the other hand, worked a lot and explained to Larry King in 2005 that he was a fairly hands-off parent, saying, “I’m not going to be doing the diapers. I’m not going to be making the food, I may never even see the kids.”
In 1999, Donald Trump announced to CNN’s Larry King that he planned on running for president. He also said that he would marry Melania to “make up for the absence of a First Lady.” Melania, on the other hand, added that she’d be a very traditional First Lady, comparing herself to Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy.
In an interview a couple of months ago, Melania revealed that she knew her husband would win the election, despite the odds being against him. This statement highlights her belief in her husband’s abilities and her support for him throughout his political career.
It’s worth noting that despite their rocky start, the couple managed to build a strong and lasting relationship, with Melania being supportive.
“I’m not going to be doing the diapers.”
Melania Trump has always been a supportive and understanding partner to her husband, former President Donald Trump. In an interview, she revealed that she knew he would win the election, despite the odds being against him. She said, “We knew it wasn’t the time. But I did know that if and when he ran, he would win.”
Despite his two failed marriages, Melania and Donald Trump’s marriage seems to work really well. One reason for this might be because she understands why his previous marriages failed. According to the tell-all book, Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady, Melania’s former friend and Met Gala producer, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, reveals a new side of the former first lady.
In the book, Wolkoff revealed that Melania had some pretty strong opinions about Donald Trump’s former wives, Ivana and Marla Maples, and why their marriages failed. According to Wolkoff, when Melania was asked why she didn’t use the “Trump” name to promote her different beauty brands, she said that she didn’t even consider it. This statement highlights the fact that Melania is aware of the reasons why her husband’s previous marriages failed and has made sure not to repeat the same mistakes.
It’s worth noting that this book is a tell-all and should be taken with a grain of salt as it is just one person’s account of their relationship with the former first lady. However, it does offer a glimpse into the former first lady’s perspective on her husband’s past marriages and her own role in their current marriage.
Overall, it seems that Melania and Donald Trump’s marriage has stood the test of time, and they have managed to build a strong and lasting relationship.
Melania ‘didn’t pressure’ Donald Trump
It’s no secret that former President Donald Trump has had a tumultuous relationship history, having been married three times. However, his current marriage to Melania Trump seems to be going strong. In the tell-all book, Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady, Melania’s former friend, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, reveals some insights into the former first lady’s perspective on her husband’s past marriages and her own role in their current marriage.
Wolkoff writes that Melania was well aware of what her husband wanted and didn’t want in a wife. She knew that he wasn’t the kind of husband who cheered on his wife’s career. In fact, Melania believed that both Ivana Trump and Marla Maples put pressure on their former husband, which ultimately led to the failure of their marriages.
Melania’s strategy, on the other hand, was to not pressure her husband emotionally. She didn’t want to be like Marla Maples, who ran one of his Atlantic City casinos and sold jewelry and clothes on QVC for a decade. Instead, she took a different approach and focused on being different from his previous wives.
As of now, it seems that Melania’s strategy of not pressuring Donald Trump to be emotionally available or supportive of her own career is working. The two celebrated their 16th anniversary in January, and only they know what the future holds for their relationship.
It’s worth noting that this book is a tell-all and should be taken with a grain of salt as it is just one person’s account of their relationship with the former first lady. However, it does offer a glimpse into the former first lady’s perspective on her husband’s past marriages and her own role in their current marriage.
In conclusion
Stephanie Grisham’s memoir, I’ll Take Your Questions Now, has provided an inside look into Donald Trump’s tenure at the White House, shedding light on his relationships with his family, staff, and former wives.
