"Jared and Ivanka thought they were the royal family of the United States," Grisham reportedly wrote.
Grisham described the White House under Trump's presidency as "a clown car on fire running at full speed into a warehouse full of fireworks," per TMZ.
"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," a spokesperson for Trump told TMZ. "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."
As previously reported by OK!, according to an excerpt of the book obtained by the Daily Mail, Trump took an "unusual interest" in a young, attractive female staffer during his presidency.
"A couple of times I came close to telling Mrs. Trump about the president's behavior. I thought that if she would say one little word to him about it, she could make it stop. But I could never bring myself to say anything," Grisham wrote.
Grisham was later replaced as press secretary by Kayleigh McEnany.
