According to Stephanie Grisham, the disgruntled former Chief of Staff to First Lady Melania Trump, the Secret Service used to refer to her as “Rapunzel.” Grisham’s new book promised to unveil secrets about the Trump administration, especially unknown secrets about the former First Lady who was notoriously mysterious during her time in the White House.
According to reports from The Daily Wire:
“The story of ‘Rapunzel’ is about a beautiful woman trapped in a tower, and Grisham said she assumed the former first lady got the name because she reportedly rarely left the White House,” The Daily Caller detailed, citing the Washington Post. “Because Melania reportedly rarely left the White House, agents requested the assignment of protecting her, because it allowed them more time to spend with their families, Grisham wrote, the piece noted.”
The Post received a copy of the book days before its set release date of October 5.
Mrs. Trump last month responded to news of Grisham’s tell-all book, “I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw at the Trump White House,” which promises to expose “surprising new scandals.”
“The intent behind this book is obvious. It is an attempt to redeem herself after a poor performance as press secretary, failed personal relationships, and unprofessional behavior in the White House,” Mrs. Trump’s office said in a statement.
Grisham’s book also revealed that while Trump was president he refused anesthesia for surgery to avoid signing powers over to his vice president.
