Former President Donald Trump said ex-Trump family confidante Stephanie Grisham was 'angry and bitter' after breaking up with a fellow Trump staffer and dismissed the claims in her new tell-all because he said she was 'seldom relied upon' at the White House.
He also said the book, 'I'll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in the Trump White House' was the work of a 'radical left publisher.'
Trump tore into Melania Trump's former press secretary's memoir after days of her tell-all memoir dominating headlines with damaging or embarrassing revelations about the Republican commander-in-chief and his family.
'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,' Trump said through a spokesperson.
He was referring to former White House aide Max Miller, who's now running for Congress in Ohio.
According to the book, Trump once asked Miller if Grisham was 'good in bed.'
The statement continued, '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.'

Grisham, who served as Melania Trump's chief of staff and White House press secretary, has claimed in her new book that the former first lady slept through most of the night and had to be woken up. A source who shared the live photo said the picture was taken as 'proof' of Grisham's antics

The memoir's publisher, HarperCollins, is one of the largest English-language publishing companies in the world. Campaign finance records reveal the group is far from 'radical left,' donating nearly $90,000 in 2019 to the Senate Conservatives Fund and more than $6,000 to Tom Cottom's (R-AR) Senate campaign. HarperCollins donated around $1,000 to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) the same year.
The book reveals, among other bombshells, that former first lady Melania Trump found ways to jab back at former President Donald Trump after stunning disclosures surfaced claiming he had an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels before he took office.
Although the first lady kept her composure in public, she found ways to get back subtly, her former press aide and chief of staff Stephanie Grisham writes in her new book.
Her tactics included taking a separate motorcade to the Capitol for Trump's State of the Union address.
And when she made her entrance walking across the Capitol – under the glare of cameras and lights for the made-for-TV moment – Grisham selected a 'handsome' military aide, to accompany her.\
Stephanie Grisham wrote that she hand-picked a handsome military aide to walk arm-and-arm with First Lady Melania Trump into the 2018 State of the Union as part of a campaign of revenge against President Donald Trump for his alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels

Grisham writes that she selected the aide to help her boss, a former model, make it through the Capitol's slick marble floors. 'I laughed to myself because I’d seen the woman navigate dirt roads in her heels,' she writes.
And when Trump tried to deny the affair, she was dismissive, in comments reported by Grisham, who also served as White House press secretary, although she never held a press briefing during her tenure.
'Oh, please, are you kidding me?' she said, according to Grisham. 'I don’t believe any of that,' she said, using an expletive.
Grisham writes that Melania was angered when the stunning affair came to light in a Wall Street Journal story that first revealed Trump paid $130,000 in hush money payments.
Trump has repeatedly denied having an affair with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
'I felt that Mrs. Trump was basically unleashed,' Grisham wrote.
On another occasion, Grisham helped write a statement for the first lady requesting privacy for her and her family. It was to say she intended to concentrate on being a mother, wife and first lady. According to Grisham, she had her aide remove the word 'wife.'
Daniels wrote in a 2018 book on her affair with the former president: 'I lay there, annoyed that I was getting f***ed by a guy with Yeti pubes and a d*** like the mushroom character in Mario Kart
In another of the book's claims, this one with international intrigue, Russian President Vladimir Putin brought an 'attractive' translator with him to distract former President Donald Trump at their 2019 meeting - and Trump told Putin he would act tough in front of the cameras and then play nice privately, Grisham writes.
'OK, I'm going to act a little tougher with you for a few minutes. But it's for the cameras, and after they leave, we'll talk. You understand,' Trump had told Putin when they met in June 2019 in Japan at the G20, Grisham recounted.
Copies of Grisham's book - I'll Take Your Questions Now, What I Saw at Trump White House - were obtained by The Washington Post and The New York Times. It hits bookshelves on October 5.

Grisham was a 2016 campaign aide who became First Lady Melania Trump's spokeswoman, before being elevated to White House press secretary and communications director from July 2019 to April 2020.
She then returned to the East Wing to serve as the first lady's spokesperson, again, and chief of staff.
The new book fills in some blanks about some of the most memorable moments from Trump's one term.

The Putin meeting in question came 11 months after the infamous Helsinki summit where Trump seemed to side with the Russian president over American intelligence agencies on whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
At the July 2018 meeting, Trump said Putin offered an 'extremely strong and powerful' denial.
At their 2019 meeting in Japan, Trump playfully scolded and wagged a finger at Putin in front of the cameras telling the Russian leader, 'don't meddle in the election,' before they met behind closed doors for 90 minutes without journalists present.
According to The Times, Grisham conversed with Fiona Hill - the administration's Russia expert turned impeachment 1.0 witness - who explained what Putin was doing 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.'
