Why Were White House Staff Reportedly Monitoring Donald Trump's Trash? New Book Makes Unusual Claims
A new book excerpt says aides tracked discarded items after discovering valuable White House utensils and other belongings were ending up in the trash.
- On Thursday, a new book by journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan revealed that White House staff monitored President Donald Trump's trash after discovering he was "sometimes throwing out" sterling silver utensils.
- A nighttime snacker, Trump frequently left empty potato chip bags, Starbucks wrappers, and ice cream cartons in the trash or on the floor, prompting closer scrutiny after aides realized valuable items were disappearing.
- Trump ignored staff reminders about items First Lady Melania Trump personally selected for the Center Hall, reflecting his intense interest in redecorating his private living space.
- The couple were the only presidential pair to maintain separate bedrooms since Richard and Pat Nixon, with staff often feeling caught between the two.
- Staff also managed concerns over a carpeted bathroom in the private quarters that allegedly required frequent attention, as the area near the shower was often soaked through, raising worries about mold.
