Publisher's summary

Madeleine Westerhout, the former "gatekeeper" of the Trump White House, writes about her relationship with the president and tells the story of the terrible mistake that led to her losing her job.

From the first day President Trump stepped into the White House, Madeleine Westerhout was by his side, first as his executive assistant, then as the director of Oval Office operations. From her desk outside the Oval, she saw everyone who came in to see the president. She placed his phone calls and was in the room for several historic moments. During her time working with President Trump at the White House, Camp David, Mar a Lago, and Bedminster, she grew to love her job and admire the president.

Then, in an unguarded moment during a dinner with reporters, she made a terrible mistake.

In Off the Record, Westerhout tells the full story of this dinner for the first time, revealing the circumstances that led to her fateful mistake. She also writes about her relationship with President Trump - all the lessons she learned working with him, and why she believes he is a much different man than the one the media portrays every day. Westerhout describes President Trump as a kind and generous boss who continues to be a great leader for our country.

Second chances

Madeleine's story is one of a dream job and how one mistake can alter and change it into a nightmare overnight. Her story is a great reminder of never taking for granted with what you have and being greatful for what you have.

honest story told

The author's story is a fascinating tale of a young person who was given a opportunity normally reserved for someone with far more experience. She describes the world inside the White House and how she "blew it" without cause. She doesn't hold back!

Presidents are people, too!

I really appreciated hearing Madeleine’s account of working with President Trump. I have wanted to get a better sense of him, as a person, and this did it very well for me. I recognize President Trump’s high character and integrity now, as never before, and am so thankful he is willing and able to help us through this difficult time in history! Thank you, Madeleine, and thank you, President Trump!

First audible experience

I really enjoyed this book on audible. Though at times Madeleine’s voice was so relaxing I was going to fall asleep so I had to stop listening while driving! Really enjoyed hearing about the cast of characters first hand that were always in the news. Best of luck to you Madeleine and I will definitely use audible again!

Good book

This is not a hit piece. Good story and give us a great insight in to the White House and our president.

A TRUE read

A beautiful story told by a strong independent young woman, Sharing her experience and enlightening the public to the true
& and rarely reported realities life in the White House

Excellent book!!

Anyone who gives this book less than five stars, in my opinion, is just a hater. It is a very honest and well-written book and a story about a young woman who made and admits to some mistakes and what they cost her. It also really confirms how very dishonest the media is. The media doesn't seem to care who gets in their way in their attempt at taking down the president. There does not seem to be anything our president can do to please the left.

Great insight into Trump

Loved it Madeleine transparency was refreshing. Thank you for serving out nation. God bless you

Great book

Finished book in one sitting. Her reading is great I feel like she was siting with me having coffee. Awesome look at the present.

Honest & behind the scenes information very interesting.

I’m very proud of Madeleine and her hard work dedication and contribution to the people and the administration. The behind the scenes stories are interesting and informative and the truthfulness is a nice change.
Her book is easy to read fast and enjoyable. Her point of you at such a young age is a breath of fresh air and to know that the President of the United States Donald Trump is doing his job and working extremely hard to make America great again.
Thanks Madeleine .
