Former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham calls Jared Kushner 'Rasputin in a slim-fitting suit'

Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary and chief of staff to Melania Trump, reserved some of her most scathing assessments in her forthcoming book for the couple known to Washington insiders as "Javanka."

During her tenure at the White House, Grisham, a former top advisor under former President Donald Trump, observed several chiefs of staff, two press secretaries, and a multitude of aides leave the administration.

However, according to Grisham's forthcoming book titled "I'll Take Your Questions Now," the influence of first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner continued to grow throughout Trump's term, in spite of all the changes.

Grisham said that Ivanka Trump came into meetings where her presence was not necessary, including a time when she asked that the then-president speak to the nation from the Oval Office at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.

as "Bar Mitzvah Boy" because of that high-pitched voice and the Ken-doll appearance. I've also wondered numerous times if the three kids are really his.....he just looks impotent.

I wonder if he did it on his own, or if he was influenced by his plastic, tucked, lifted, siliconed, stuffed, plumped, stretched, scraped, tightened, implanted, botoxed wife.

"The truth was that pretty much everyone eventually wore out their welcome with the president," Grisham writes. "We were bottles of milk with expiration dates. ... I should have spoken up more."

But I didn't because I needed that paycheck and it also allows me to write a book and make buckets of money. It's the American way, don't you know. If I actually had a backbone or a scintilla of courage, I would have never joined this circus in the first place.

from Air Force One to make sure she understood his penis did not look like a mushroom despite Stormy Daniel's assertion.
