Melania on Secret Audio Disparaging Trump Children

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, the former friend of Melania Trump who helped produce the 2017 Presidential Inauguration, taped the First Lady making disparaging remarks about the president and his adult children, Yashar Ali reports.

Wolkoff plans on sharing the First Lady’s comments about her family in her forthcoming book Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with The First Lady which will be published on September 1.

....Melania will be the next person fired from her "position" in the Trump administration? 😊 Will she be forced to leave the plastic kidneys behind as punishment? Seriously, I see her gone after the election, win (puke) or lose. Assume that's part of the contract she negotiated. Wonder if she's stupid enough to think the animal won't seek to destroy her with full vengeance???

When you swim with pirhanna, you don't have and can't be friends - everyone is just another pack member.

As soon as the benefits of attacking you out weigh the benefits of defending you, they'll turn on ya

conversations with Trump and family and keeping the reciepts. I have to wonder how many of the people Trump calls on his incessant late night forages for advice are also recording everything he says.

He talks without any filter. Blurts out anything. The odds of getting something out of him that might be advantageous are probably pretty good. I don’t even know if he keeps track of everything he lies about.

And 1-week after her book is released

- Michael Cohen’s book “Disloyal” comes out.

- And one week after that, Bob Woodward’s book “Rage” comes out.

Former First Lady Confidante Stephanie Wolkoff Secretly Taped her Conversations with Melania Trump and Is Writing a Book on It

What Melania wants, Melania gets.

The former director of special events at Vogue and producer of nine legendary Met Galas, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff met Melania Knauss in 2003 and had a front row seat to the transformation of Donald Trump’s then girlfriend from a rough-cut gem to a precious diamond. As their friendship deepened over lunches at Manhattan hot spots, black-tie parties, and giggle sessions in the penthouse at Trump Tower, Wolkoff watched the newest Mrs. Trump raise her son, Barron, and manage her highly scrutinized marriage.

After Trump won the 2016 election, Wolkoff was recruited to help produce the 58th Presidential Inaugu­ration and to become the First Lady’s trusted advisor. Melania put Wolkoff in charge of hiring her staff, organizing her events, helping her write speeches, and creating her debut initiatives. Then it all fell apart when she was made the scapegoat for inauguration finance irregularities. Melania could have defended her innocent friend and confidant, but she stood by her man, knowing full well who was really to blame. The betrayal nearly destroyed Wolkoff.
