“It is an exercise in bizarre twisting of the truth and misguided blame for the sake of self-pity. “This book is not only wildly self-aggrandizing, it’s just not truthful,” Grisham told USA TODAY in an email. USA TODAY reached out to Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's chief of staff and spokeswoman, for a response. She so wanted to show how "special" her friend was that she took on Herculean tasks (helping organize the inauguration and the first lady's office, staff, FLOTUS initiatives and White House residential quarters) for which she was not fully prepared and ended up in the hospital with an excruciating back malady exacerbated by the stress.Īnd then she was "fired," even though she was an unpaid FLOTUS adviser, and " thrown under the bus," in her famous words to The New York Times, by West Wing enemies who sought to make her the sole scapegoat for the incompetence and alleged corruption in planning and spending for the inauguration. Wolkoff adored Melania Trump (the book is littered with their texted emojis and "I love you" exchanges, plus many exclamation marks). Wolkoff's book is no psych workup of Melania Trump, 50, although the reader may come away with somewhat better insight into the character and personality of America's most elusive first lady since the 1940s. "Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady" (Gallery Books, out Tuesday) joins the recent crop of Trump family takedown books as the November election nears, including "Too Much and Never Enough," the best-selling psychological dissection of Mary Trump's uncle, President Donald Trump. If anyone is capable of plumbing the shallows of the enigma that is first lady Melania Trump, it should be Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, her lovey-dovey, emoji-wielding close friend of nearly two decades who has written an "I was betrayed!" book to beat all.
