Maybe their roles just weren’t clarified enough for them. Former White House chief of staff Stephanie Grisham is sparing no one in her new book, “I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw In The Trump White House.”
She says that Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner took themselves so seriously behind the scenes at the Trump White House that they acted like a shadow “president and first lady.” Here’s what she has to say.
Here’s What Stephanie Grisham Has To Say About Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s Behavior At The White House
Grisham said that the Kushners acted like they were royalty and that Ivanka’s husband in particular acted like “Rasputin in a slim-fitting suit.”
“I believe he changed as we went through the White House. He got really heady with power,” Grisham began. “You know, Jared Kushner had his own chief of staff. He hired his own staff. He did what he wanted — and nobody challenged him.”
“[Former White House chief of staff] Mark Meadows — when he started, he put a freeze on [hiring] anybody. Nobody could hire anybody in any department unless Mark Meadows specifically said ‘yes.’ Jared Kushner basically told him what he thought of that and got to do what he wanted. So that was — you know, nobody ever challenged Jared. You couldn’t — this was the president’s son-in-law.”
“So he would dive into these areas where I know he had absolutely no expertise and — you know — claim to save the day. And then he would leave,” she continued. “There was a running joke in the White House — when things were getting really tough, they suddenly disappeared on vacations. He was tough to deal with — and I think he got really heady with power. I do not think he left there the best version of himself. I believe that he and Ivanka kind of thought they were a shadow president and first lady.”
Needless to say, neither Jared Kushner nor Ivanka Trump have responded to any of Stephanie Grisham’s accusations.
