Stephanie Grisham book - live: Trump wanted to boot media from White House and ogled ‘highly attractive’ aide

Donald Trump asked the boyfriend of Stephanie Grisham if she was good in bed, the former press secretary claims in her new book.

While the excerpt published in The Washington Post doesn’t name the ex-boyfriend, it is believed to be Max Miller, now a congressional candidate backed by Trump.

Trump reference the break up of the two in his response to Ms Grisham’s explosive claims.

"She became very angry and bitter after her break up and as time went on she was seldom relied upon, or even thought about,” Trump said in a statement.

It’s unclear what is more surprising about this revelation: That Donald Trump cuts his hair, or that it is his own hair to cut.

“A huge pair of scissors that could probably cut a ribbon at an opening of one of his properties,” Stephanie Grisham says of how the former president cuts his own hair.

Trump’s hair has, for some reason, been a constant source of speculation.

His former physician was tracked down by The New York Times in 2017 to discuss the hair care regime that kept the thicket of locks on Trump well into his 70s.

Dr Harold N. Bornstein said in a series of interviews with the Times that Trump uses Finasteride to maintain the growth of his scalp hair.

“He has all his hair,” said Bornstein, who also used the drug. “I have all my hair.”

When George HS Bush died in 2018, White House staffers hid a plan from Donald Trump to have Air Force one transport the former president’s casket and his service dog to the funeral.

While it’s tradition, Stephanie Grisham writes that they obscured the details from Trump in fear of his reaction.

“We knew he wouldn’t be okay with that, even for a brief trip,” Grisham writes. “Dead bodies, death, sickness — those things really seemed to creep him out.”

The first lady became “unleashed” after porn star Stormy Daniels alleged an affair with Donald Trump, according to Stephanie Grisham.

The former press secretary writes that Melania Trump found ways to exclude her husband from photos and tweets.

She also went out of her way to arrive at events with a handsome military aide hanging onto her arm, The New York Times reports.

She also didn’t believe her husband’s denials of the stormy affair.

“Oh, please, are you kidding me?” she says. “I don’t believe any of that,”

Donald Trump called from Air Force One to assure then press secretary Stephanie Grisham that his penis was, in fact, neither small nor bore a resemblance to a cartoon fungus.

“Uh, yes sir,” Grisham replied.

The claim that Trump’s appendage was shaped like Toadstool, the mushroom character from Mario Kart, was made by porn star Stormy Daniels in a 2018 memoir that alleged she had an affair with Trump in 2007.

“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting f*cked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a d**k like the mushroom character in Mario Kart,” she said.

“He knows he has an unusual penis,” Ms Daniels added. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool.”

Catch up with the full saga.

Paging Elon Musk. Paging Jeff Bezos. Your ears were burning in a meeting between Donald Trump and Boris Johnson.

The leaders of the United States and the United Kingdom are two of the most powerful people in the world (by aggregate). Despite the weight of that on the shoulders, the pair spent most of one of their meetings discussing, among other things why rich people loved space.

The claim was made in Stephani Grisham’s new book, I’ll Take Your Questions Now.

Nathan Place has the full report.

The former president responded to his former press secretary in two statements, one of his own and one from his current press secretary:

Donald J. Trump:

“Stephanie didn’t have what it takes and that was obvious from the beginning. She became very angry and bitter after her break up and as time went on she was seldom relied upon, or even thought about. She had big problems and we felt that she should work out those problems for herself. Now, like everyone else, she gets paid by a radical left-leaning publisher to say bad and untrue things. Too bad that sleaze bag publishers continue to report this very boring garbage. We and the MAGA movement are totally used to it. And someday in the not too distant future we will have our voice back and be treated fairly by the press.”

Press secretary Liz Harrington:

Anyone glued to Stephanie Grisham’s book revelations may have been confused why Donald Trump was lashing out against former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman.

An hour after calling his former press secretary “bitter and angry”, the former president released a statement on the former “Apprentice” contestant.

To wit:

“I gave Omarosa three attempts at The Apprentice and she failed. At her desperate request I gave her an attempt at the White House and she failed there too, people truly hated her. At least now I don’t have to let her fail anymore. "Nobody in her life has done more for Omarosa than a man named Donald Trump. Unfortunately, like certain others, she forgot all about that -- which is fine with me!"

Seems random, in isolation.

But on Monday the American Arbitration Association released its decision in a long-running arbitration battle between Trump and Manigault Newman for her own tell-all book, Unhinged.

They ruled that Trump’s nondisclosure agreement is unenforceable, according to Law & Crime.

That means she’s free to speak freely about what happened in the White House. And her lawyer, John M Phillips, hinted that is exactly what could come next.

"People who signed these NDAs should sleep better and speak more freely," he told Law & Crime.

Melania didn’t care, but Donald Trump certainly did.

Stephanie Grisham says the first lady was summoned to the West Wing after she wore a jacket emblazoned with the words “I really don’t care, do you?” during a trip to a migrant housing facility in McAllen, Texas.

“He yelled and asked “what the [expletive]” they thought they were doing,” writes The Washington Post, which obtained an advance copy of the book.

Read the full yarn:

While Donald Trump acted tough for the cameras, Vladimir Putin reportedly let the ladies of the Kremlin do the distracting.

In her new book, Stephanie Grisham says the Russian president used an attractive translator in an attempt to “throw Trump off”.

“As the meeting began, Fiona Hill leaned over and asked me if I had noticed Putin’s translator, who was a very attractive brunette woman with long hair, a pretty face, and a wonderful figure,” Grisham wrote.

“She proceeded to tell me that she suspected the woman had been selected by Putin specifically to distract our president.”
