The most frank and intimate portrait of the Trump White House yet

Stephanie Grisham rose from being a junior press wrangler on the Trump campaign in 2016 to assuming top positions in the administration as White House press secretary and communications director, while at the same time acting as First Lady Melania Trump’s communications director and eventually chief of staff. Few members of the Trump inner circle served longer or were as close to the first family as Stephanie Grisham, and few had her unique insight into the turbulent four years of the administration, especially the personalities behind the headlines.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Grisham’s book shows considerably more humility and self-reflection than that of any other Trump administration veteran I’ve read (and I’ve pretty much read them all).” — Laura Miller, Slate

“Salacious and score-settling.” — The Guardian

“Part giddy travelogue, part belated apologia, part petty payback, all personal-therapy session.” — New York Times

Excellent Book:

First I want to say, anyone who is a Grandpa's Girl has to be a good person! I am one myself. Even though he has passed now and I am in my late 60's. From the time I was old enough to start to talk I would yell out before dinner, if we were there or they were at our home, I am sitting NEXT to Grandpa!! I did it every single meal we had together. I loved my grandma too, but... I am a Grandpa's Girl! Stephanie, you did a wonderful job on this book, however I wish you had not put in the part about those who want to read and those who don't. Everyone should read all that they can to learn the truth, and just because someone doesn't like a person does not mean they can't write a wonderful book, which this one is. I read all that I can get my hands on, all books are a learning experience and you learn to take what you except and leave the rest behind. I am so glad you filled us in on so many of the backroom stuff that I and I am sure many others wondered about. I also loved the quotes above each chapter, extra work, but an excellent way to do a book!! One of the things that really stuck out to me was the trip to England. My family is about 50% English and 50% Scottish. I have always loved the Queen and the whole ritualistic atmosphere there, and imagine what it would be like to have tea with the Queen, not that it would ever happen. When it was announced that they were going to England, I said to my husband, I hope they are not planning on taking that who family and moving in on the Queen. Sure enough they did and you did a wonderful job bringing that out. I just can't believe anyone would do that, I have never in 68 yrs seen another President do such a thing. Even the ones who had one daughter, the Clintons didn't take Chelsea with them on state type visits, nor did any of the other Presidents, the children were not ever invited even here in the states. The only thing I remember is little John John Kennedy who crawled under his dad's desk and was in the room when he had a meeting, however that was not a state dinner. It is hard to believe that I made it though 4 yrs of Trump and Company. I knew it was coming and it scared me to death as I could see though him right from the start. I have a husband who is so like him it is not even funny, he is being treated by a psychiatrist and is still raging and racist and a liar and hate filled but just much less. The first day in office seemed like we would never get through it and I remember Rachel Maddow saying " gosh, we are two weeks in and it seems like forever. It did to me also. I am so glad that you got away and got a little home to have as your own to go and be at peace for a while. People like the President take a lot of energy out of people, and the treatment is not good, so we have to love ourselves enough to know when we need that down time, and take it for real. I have a phobia to snakes and you would have heard me screaming and standing on fence posts also if I saw one. I grew up with them as my dad farms and they are on the property and I hated them. I certainly understand your feelings about those little monsters. When you mentioned your boyfriend and the way he acted I knew that this was not the first for you and not the last until you had an epiphany and realized where these issues and feelings were coming from. I had an epiphany back years ago and learned with my psychologist ( who is excellent ) that I had been in these relationships for years and since I was young as my dad was the start of it all. He is 91 and I just forgave him not long ago, for all that he did to me and caused me to live. I have been married for 30 yrs and it is truly like a cult. If you don't do what they say, and act the way they want, then the rage follows. I just laugh now as I spent 1000's of dollars on books and learned so much about his disease that my psychologist said I needed to hang a shingle and start practicing. Laughing. I do know a lot and that is why I was scared. I was also raised in a cult till the age of 16 and so I know a ton about that also and what goes on when you try and leave. So I understand you not being able to give notice and just leave, others always have the say of no you are not going anywhere! Do as I say!! I feel that the White House for you was a way of spiritually moving up about 1000 miles. You really seemed to learn a lot of lessons as I have and that is what life is about, living and learning and living and learning some more. I wish you the very best in whatever you do, and I thank you for the service to our country and all the hard work you did. I myself don't know how you did it all and kept it all straight and yet, it seemed that no one even noticed as is usual with people like us. I thank you for the book as I got a lot of questions answered that other than YOUR BOOK nobody has touched on in their books. May the rest of your life be filled with peace and calm and may you always prosper in all that you do. Thank You. Read this book folks, it is an amazing look inside of things that others have not mentioned and that you just might be shocked at. I was. It is a page turner and a great read, and I would recommend it to all of you, no matter who or what you believe, or if you like her or not, that really has nothing to do with it anyway. P.S. One thing I wanted to say that I forgot and probably more also. I am getting old. When you went to visit the Pope in Rome, I thought it was just horrible ( and I saw the clips of it all ) that of all people that Sean Spicer had to sit it out. I knew he was NOT there, but didn't know he was sitting in a vehicle while Jared and Ivanka were up there visiting? That is just NOT right. I felt so sorry for that man, to get that close and yet not get into see the Pope would make one ill for the rest of their lives. How every SAD. He is a Catholic for God's sake!

A dishy read

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

I read this quickly; she dished on many people and events (some were notably left out—thankfully for her, the president’s young son). She wasn’t kind to Trump’s older children (with good reason, I suppose). My insights after reading this; Trump really is as narcissistic, not-so-smart, ADHD as he is made out to be. Melanie comes off as mostly good and kind in the book (albeit obsessed with photographers and her own image), and good with kids. She conveniently leaves out Trump’s blame for the whole “Covid wars” and fighting with Dr. Fauchi (although she does say Trump didn’t like his hogging the camera all the time). She also leaves out (probably smartly) his actions that lead up to Jan 6 (although she calls it rightly an insurrection). It’s clear that she believes he knows that he truly lost but cannot and will not admit it.

If Trump’s goal was to drain the swamp, he may have drained one swamp and created a new one. Glad I didn’t try to go into politics. From this book it seems like “mean girls and boys” on steroids.

As a book though, it gives a good flavor about what it might be like to work in the White House (the perks, the problems, the ugly politics etc)

Another Trumper cashes in.

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2022

Many people will enjoy this book for the insights into the relationship between Donald Trump and his present wife Melania as Grisham worked for both of them, at times at the same time, in the White House. Basically first hand gossip. It also shows how Trump acted unhinged to staff at times for whatever reason. Several times she states that she had bad feelings about what was happening in the administration (gut feelings) but never entertained the idea of leaving until the morning of January 7 after insurrection. Wow, it took an attempt to destroy American Democracy to wake her up.
She mentions early parts of her life and her personal relationships. She developed a relationship with another Whie House Trumper she called the "Music Man" (responsible for the music at Trump rallies) and how it started out good and then turned abusive, a good parallel to her time in the White House (as verified by many others that served in the administration). She stayed in the bad personal relationship until it became too abusive but never quit the White House no matter how bad it got until, I guess, She realized that her boss was trying to destroy Democracy. Glad she finally woke up.
Like many former Trumpers they realized that without a second term they were out of work and out of luck and decided to write books about the administration. These books usually paint the author in a good light while no longer supporting the atrocities of the Trump years, an extreme example is Bill Barr's book where he just falls short of walking on water in his telling.
Many of these people that stayed point out the people that were in the administration and couldn't stomach it anymore and left or may have been fired by mutual agreement and how nothing changed and how they stayed because they thought they could make a change. What they don't realize is that the ones that left realized that no one could make a change for the good as it all was coming from Trump and he did not listen to anything that would go against his instincts, they realized this and I guess people like Grisham did not or deluded themselves into thinking they could make a difference, it is easy to do that when you have high profile job in the White House and lose touch with the real world.

This book was a real eyeopener into the inner workings of the Trump Whitehouse. It was an easy read stylistically, but I did not appreciate the bad language. The author, Stephanie Grisham did an excellent job of telling her story.

Truthful memoir

Reviewed in Canada on October 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book. It was very well-written and I could not put it down. It is not a tell-all--in many cases, she speaks positively of Trump sets the record straight, admiring his accomplishments. But she does admit the Trump admin was often "a clown car alit with fireworks." Grisham exposes her own vulnerabilities in the midst of the previous dysfuctional West and East Wings. She is not on an ego trip--the book is not meanspirited. This memoir is true, heartfelt, and sad on some levels. Grisham learned from her experience in the Trump orbit, and how one-sided loyalty is at play with not only Donald Trump and many of his sidekicks but with his first lady who Grisham admired deeply. Still I think Grisham came out a stronger, healthier person even after her own personal heartbreak during the Trump era. And I wish her well.

Book had the typical stories you would expect but you could really hear the voices she is describing and I found that particularly pleasant. I have read other reviews that characterize it as a mad women looking for bare it all and there is a self serving feeling when you read it that you pick up on, but it didn’t really bother me I just enjoyed the stories about at the craziness that was in the Whitehouse for that term. It seemed exactly as I believed it would probably be.

Badly written drivel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book was about as insightful as a tweet. Filled with self reflection and angst, the author is obsessed with the persona of Melanoma Trump to the point of obsequiousness.
The only thing this book achieves is underlying how yet one more utterly unqualified person managed to squirm their way into the Whitehouse in the backs of the equally unqualified Trumps and messed it up.
