Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham is speaking out about her time working in the Trump administration, suggesting she could “give you endless metaphors” to describe it.
Politico published an excerpt of Grisham’s upcoming book, “I’ll Take Your Questions Now: My Time in the Trump White House,” set to be published Tuesday.
Grisham compared working as the former president’s spokesperson to “sitting in a beautiful office while a sprinkler system pours water down on you every second and ruins everything on your desk — except in this case the water took the form of tweets and words and statements.”
She continued, “I can give you endless metaphors to describe the Trump White House from a press person’s perspective — living in a house that was always on fire or in an insane asylum where you couldn’t tell the difference between the patients and the attendants or on a roller coaster that never stopped — but trust me, it was a hot mess 24/7.”
Grisham suggested a question in itself was “how people did the job without going crazy.”
