Ivanka Trump reportedly was offended when she was told by strategist Steve Bannon she was merely a White House 'staffer' by answering: 'I'm not a staffer! I'll never be a staffer. I'm the first daughter,' it has been claimed.
Famed reporter Bob Woodward includes the explosive anecdote in his new book, Fear: Trump in the White House.
Excerpts of the book were reported on Tuesday by The Washington Post.
In the book, Woodward writes of an 'expletive-laden altercation' between the then-adviser Bannon and President Donald Trump's eldest daughter.
In the exchange, a furious Bannon lashed out at Ivanka Trump.
'You're a goddamn staffer!' Bannon reportedly yelled at her.
'You walk around this place and act like you're in charge, and you're not. You're on staff!'

'I'm not a staffer! I'll never be a staffer. I'm the first daughter,' Ivanka is reported to have told Bannon.
Bannon was said to have been upset with Ivanka's reported tendency to bypass the standard chain of command and take up issues directly with her father.
Every other White House aide was required to report to the chief of staff at the time, Reince Priebus.
But the reported exchange apparently highlighted the fact that Ivanka felt she was not bound by the same rules.
Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, are senior advisers to the president even though they have no previous experience in government.
The reported clash between Ivanka and Bannon is one of a number of shocking details about the inner workings of the Trump White House as told by Woodward.
According to the author, Trump wanted to have Syrian President Bashar al-Assad assassinated last year but his defense secretary ignored the request.

Woodward often depicts top Trump aides as sometimes disregarding presidential orders to limit what they saw as damaging and dangerous behavior.
'It's just another bad book,' Trump told the Daily Caller.
The Republican president said in a Twitter post that quotes in the book attributed to Defense Secretary James Mattis, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and others 'were made up frauds, a con on the public.'
The book portrays Trump as prone to profane outbursts and impulsive decision-making, painting a picture of chaos that Woodward says amounts to an 'administrative coup d'etat' and a 'nervous breakdown' of the executive branch.
According to the book, Trump told Mattis that he wanted to have Assad assassinated after the Syrian president launched a chemical attack on civilians in April 2017.
Mattis told Trump he would 'get right on it,' but instead developed a plan for a limited air strike that did not threaten Assad personally.

Mattis told associates after a separate incident that Trump acted like 'a fifth- or sixth-grader,' according to the book.
In a statement on Tuesday, Mattis dismissed the book as 'a uniquely Washington brand of literature' and said the contemptuous words about Trump attributed to him 'were never uttered by me or in my presence.'
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said the book was 'nothing more than fabricated stories, many by former disgruntled employees, told to make the president look bad.'
Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, cast doubt on the account about Assad.
'I have the pleasure of being privy to those conversations ... and I have not once heard the president talk about assassinating Assad,' Haley told reporters on Tuesday.
Woodward gained national fame for his reporting on the Watergate scandal in the 1970s, and has since written a number of books that provide behind-the-scenes glimpses of presidential administrations and other Washington institutions.
For this book, Woodward spoke to top aides and other insiders with the understanding that he would not reveal how he got his information, the Post reported.
Among his other revelations: former top economic adviser Gary Cohn stole a letter off Trump's desk that the president planned to sign that would withdraw the United States from a trade agreement with South Korea.

Cohn, who tried to rein in Trump's protectionist impulses, also planned to remove a similar memo that would have withdrawn the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada, Woodward wrote.
'I'll just take the paper off his desk,' Cohn told another White House aide, according to the book.
Trump said that did not take place.
'It's just made up,' he told the Daily Caller.
The United States remains part of both trade agreements as it negotiates new terms.
Other aides insulted Trump behind his back.
Kelly called Trump an 'idiot,' and said, 'We're in Crazytown. ... This is the worst job I've ever had.'
Trump treated top aides with scorn, the book says, telling Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross that he was past his prime and calling Attorney General Jeff Sessions 'mentally retarded.'
Trump insists Bob Woodward's book interview request never made it to the Oval Office
President Donald Trump complained on a recorded phone call no one ever contacted him about veteran journalist Bob Woodward's interview request – then complained advisor Kellyanne Conway should have come to him directly.
The Washington Post released a recorded August 14 phone call between the famously well-sourced author and the president soon after the paper reported on a copy of 'Fear,' Woodward's forthcoming book on Trump.
Trump does admit at one point during the call that a senator had passed along Woodward's request for an interview, but at other times says he had no idea about it.
The call begins with Woodward, after alerting the president he was recording, regretting the two hadn't been able to connect and Trump saying he wished he had known about the book – which was already coming out at the time of the call.
'She should have come to me,' Trump said of Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway, (seen at the White House on August 29) during a conversation with Bob Woodward about an interview request Trump claims he never was told about
'I never got a call. I never got a message,' the president said at first. 'Who did you ask about speaking to me?'
Woodward told him he had lunch with counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway where he pressed her on getting a Trump interview – prompting Trump to admonish his former campaign manager while she was in the room.
At one point during the back-and-forth, Conway walked into the room where Trump was speaking, and he invited her to jump on the call.
'You and I spent a whole lunch on it, Kellyanne ... And you said you would get back to me. Nothing,' Woodward told her.
Conway then told Woodward: 'Yeah. So, I did. I presented it to the people here who make those decisions,' without naming names.
'Who are the people?' Woodward asked, but he got no response. At that point, without answering, Conway jumped off the call, and Trump got back on.
Trump then faulted Woodward for not calling him directly.
'But you never called for me. It would have been nice, Bob, if you called for me in my office,' Trump said.
'Kellyanne went to somebody, but she didn't come to me. And she should have come to me,' Trump said.
Kelly, in remarks released by the White House, said he never called the president an idiot and called the story 'total BS.'
Trump has grown paranoid and anxious over an ongoing federal inquiry into whether his campaign colluded with Russia in Moscow's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, prompting aides to compare Trump to former President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal, Woodward reported.
Trump's former lawyer John Dowd conducted a mock interview with Trump to convince him that he would commit perjury if he agreed to talk to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the Russia investigation, the book says.
Trump did not speak with Woodward until the manuscript was complete, the newspaper reported.
'So I have another bad book coming out. Big deal,' Trump told Woodward, according to a transcript of a telephone call released by the Post.

Famed reporter Bob Woodward...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
