More details from Melania Trump‘s former chief of staff’s tell-all book have leaked and they’re not flattering. Go figure.
According to Stephanie Grisham, Melania was so disinterested in the 2020 election that she didn’t even stay up to watch the results on television, despite the fact that it was a very close, very contentious race and, oh yeah, she was the First Lady of the United States of America.
In I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in The Trump White House, she claims the ex-FLOTUS spent most of the night asleep in her bedroom rather than by her husband’s side.
“I knocked a few times, quietly at first, but louder at each attempt,” she writes. “I finally opened the bedroom door only to find that Melania Trump was sound asleep.”
How about we take this to the next level?

According to Stephanie Grisham's forthcoming book, we should have taken Melania's jacket seriously….she really doesn't care.

Grisham says Melania was exhausted after a late night the day before, followed by waking up early the next morning to vote in Florida, and then flying back to Washington, D.C. later that afternoon.
“I knew by now how much sleep meant to her,” she writes, “but still, I couldn’t imagine being asleep at a time like that. Maybe she thought that someone would wake her up if Trump won.”
Except Trump didn’t win. Melania did eventually rise from her slumber to join her husband in the East Room around 2:30 a.m., according to Grisham.

Later, Grisham says Melania became convinced “something bad happened” and that the election had been rigged. Grisham also claims she tried to explain that there was no conspiracy to oust her husband from office, but Mrs. Trump refused to believe her.
Last weekend, Melania’s camp issued a statement about the book, accusing Grisham of being bad at her job, disloyal, unprofessional, and greedy. It read:
The intent behind this book is obvious. It is an attempt to redeem herself after a poor performance as press secretary, failed personal relationships, and unprofessional behavior in the White House. Through mistruth and betrayal, she seeks to gain relevance and money at the expense of Mrs. Trump.
Politico notes that Melania’s mention of “failed personal relationships” is likely a jab at Grisham’s romantic relationship with former Trump aide Max Miller, which allegedly “ended when he pushed her against a wall and slapped her in the face in his Washington apartment after she accused him of cheating on her.” Miller has denied the accusations.
Grisham’s book is scheduled to be released on October 5.

No money of mine for a Trump mouthpiece who only quit because you know the Bidens were moving in on the 20th.

I really think the reason for Trump’s continued outrage about the election results is he was probably promised a win by Putin who underestimated the pissed off mood of the Americans. Maybe I’m nuts, been told that before, but usually my instincts are right on.

that and to pay off his debt and properties costs. It’s a grift. All of it was
Mr. Stadnick
She was asleep what a story! Really?
Matthewnow
Totally agree. Don’t most prostitutes sleep after a full day on their back?

Dr. Jill Biden dedicated 30 years in education, holds a doctorate degree, still currently works in education, was second Lady for 8 years and is currently First Lady.
Melanie posed nude for photos and destroyed the White House rose garden.

The reason Melanie and Donald are a good match is because they’re both narcissist!
Let sleeping dogs lie!!!

“despite the fact that it was a very close, very contentious race”
How was it very close? Biden had 302 EC votes vs Trump’s 236

It appeared close because of the slow vote counting during the Pandemic, but by Saturday it was obvious Biden had won. He won by 7 million votes.

Another reminder that Melania is also neck deep in any of the Trump conspiracies.

“it was a very close, very contentious race”
It was not a close race. Biden won by 7 million votes, get over 51%. He won by the 2nd largest margin this century.
Melania doesn’t give a damn about anyone but herself, not even her husband. She can rot for all I care.

It appeared to be a very close race for an uncomfortably long time. I went to bed very late (close to 2:00 Central), and I was depressed because Trump was leading. Commentators gave me hope by talking about the potential of later vote counts favoring Biden. I’ve rarely felt as much relief as I did the next morning when I got up and discovered that Biden was indeed going to win.

She has been asleep much of her life.
