According to a portion of a book written by her former chief, Melania Trump was once nicknamed "Rapunzel", because she seldom left "her tower," aka the White House residence.

Stephanie Grisham claims that Melania stayed in the executive house with her parents or her son Barron, according to her memoir "I'll Accept Your Questions Now: What We Saw at Trump White House".

Grisham claims Melania also spent a lot time creating photo albums. A portion of the book is due to be published on October 5. Grisham claims that Melania had photo albums as one of her "two children."

According to The Independent, the former first lady was committed to capturing the best shots for these albums. Grisham claimed that she spent two hours creating a ribbon-cutting ceremony in order to capture a good shot. Melania was busy taking photos of a rug during the Capitol riot.

According to the book, secret agents hoped to work with the former first Lady and asked to be part of her detail so they could spend more time with their families.
