https://www.rawstory.com/jared-ivanka-queen/Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump tried to push their way into meeting Queen Elizabeth II during a presidential visit, according to a new book.
An excerpt of the forthcoming book, "I'll Take Your Questions Now," by Melania Trump's former chief of staff and former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham reveals that Donald Trump's daughter and son-in-law wanted to join the royal meeting, in a serious breach of protocol, but were shut out when they wouldn't fit into the helicopter, reported the Washington Post.
"I finally figured out what was going on," Grisham writes. "Jared and Ivanka thought they were the royal family of the United States."
Words fail.

I'm sure the British bodyguards were polite but firm with the pretentious little shits.

I'd rather see the Clampetts in the White House, and I bet the Brits would too.

"Frightfully sorry there, but I'm afraid we can't have it..."
Then a well-aimed kick up the backside, as the Brits say (boy, I wish!...)

A press secretary who never held a press briefing - Imagine!
It's nice that she's got a book out now, and would like to cash in on her government service, please. You could just disappear tomorrow Stephanie, and nobody would miss you one iota.
