Melania Trump former aide’s book offers glimpse into First Lady, Ivanka's relationship

Melania Trump’s former confidante Stephanie Winston Wolkoff has written a memoir, set to release on September 1, which will provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the alleged turbulent relationship between the first lady and first daughter Ivanka Trump. In the book ‘Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady’, Wolkoff has detailed the alleged bad blood between the two most visible members of the Trump family other than the US President.

According to the excerpts published in New York Magazine, Wolkoff and Melania took huge efforts to block Ivanka from appearing in Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. The book claims that the duo launched “Operation Block Ivanka” to keep the first daughter’s face out of the photographs of the “special moment” during the inauguration.

“We were all exhausted and stressed out. Yes, Operation Block Ivanka was petty. Melania was in on this mission. But in our minds, Ivanka shouldn’t have made herself the center of attention in her father’s inauguration,” wrote Wolkoff.
