Stephanie Grisham set a record of futility as a press secretary that will never be broken — or probably equaled.
Grisham worked as White House press secretary from July 2019 until April 2020 without holding a single press conference. This is a bit like a postal carrier who keeps his or her job without delivering any mail.
Grisham’s annual salary was $183,000.
She then went to work for First Lady Melania Trump.
After U.S. Gen. (Ret.) John Kelly, President Trump’s former chief of staff, wrote a book criticizing the president, Fox News quoted Grisham, the Marcel Marceau of press secretaries, as saying, “I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our President.”

As Mark Twain said: “Better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you’re a fool than open it and remove all doubt.”
Grisham left the White House after the January 6 insurrection.
Grisham then broke her silence in a book, I’ll Take Your Questions Now, a title that raised questions such as, “Where were you when we had questions to ask?”
In the book, she admits, “I should have spoken up more.”
Or at all.
The New York Times reported that the book goes into considerable length about President Trump’s love of and subservience to dictators like Vladimir Putin of Russia and his sexual interest in a young White House aide and how he ogled her when she walked by.
She said Max Miller, Grisham’s onetime boyfriend, would play the song Memory from the musical Cats to, as the Times put it, “pull him from the brink of age.”
The United States may owe its very existence to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Grisham also wrote in her book that Trump called her from Air Force One to defend the size of his penis after adult film star Stormy Daniels had insulted it in an interview.
“Uh, yes sir,” Ms. Grisham said she replied.
Grisham also accused Miller of sexual abusing her. Miller categorically denied this.
Grisham reserved particular anger for Jared Kushner’s, the president’s son-in-law, who she called, “Rasputin in a slim-fitting suit.”
