For the first time, the veil of privacy surrounding First Lady Melania Trump is being swept away by someone from her inner circle.
Mrs. Trump's friend and former adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff is about to release her highly-anticipated memoir, Melania & Me. In an exclusive excerpt featured in New York magazine's Intelligencer, Winston Wolkoff gives shocking details about the oft-reported rivalry between the first lady and her stepdaughter, Ivanka Trump.
Winston Wolkoff describes her "petty" attempt with Mrs. Trump to keep Ivanka (whom Mrs. Trump nicknamed "Princess" out of the best photo ops during Inauguration Day in 2016. They called their efforts "Operation Block Ivanka," writes Winston Wolkoff, a former producer of the Met Gala who was brought on to help organize the inaugural events. New York also described Winston Wolfkoff as thinking she was the first lady's "best friend."
In her book, she writes of the first daughter's blatant attempts to overtake the East Wing, according to the excerpt.

It's pretty much Faux Snooze and/or tell-all books. And the best time to strike with the tell-all books is election season, so we're seeing a lot of it now.
