The world watched her enter the White House with her parents as a sweet, curly-haired teenager. But now a power-hungry Chelsea Clinton is 'entitled, bratty and domineering' - and has even pushed the man who was Bill's 'surrogate son' out of the Clinton Foundation.

Those explosive claims come from Ed Klein in his new book Unlikeable, published by Regnery Publishing.

Chelsea, 35, has skillfully adopted traits from both of her parents, learning how to play one off the other in screaming sessions while exercising a 'lacerating temper.'

She has become more of her mother's daughter than her father's with the same hair trigger anger.

'Chelsea has grown up with parents with hot tempers. She's as clever and analytical at arguing both sides of a question as her dad, and she's as volatile as her mom', Klein writes.

And she's becoming a powerful player in the 'palace intrigue among the three Clintons and has moved into being a major player in the Clinton Foundation.

Three's company: the relationship between the Clinton family is 'complicated,' reveals a new book

While it seems like a family sitcom, it's made for a complicated relationship between the three of them and while Hillary and Bill obviously love their daughter, 'they're not comfortable with all of Chelsea's activities'.

When the Clinton Foundation was renamed for the three Clintons in the spring of 2013, Chelsea found herself with a 'cushy gig' and suddenly more power in the Foundation's operations.

That 'overbearing, I-know-better attitude sent senior staff fleeing for the exit.

It wasn't a good time at the Foundation in the fall of 2013 when the New York Times described the Foundation as hemorrhaging money with a multimillion dollar deficit despite all the money coming in.

'When Chelsea read the Times story, she went ballistic. She climbed into her Cadillac Escalade and drove from New York City to Chappaqua to confront her father'.

Out came Chelsea's 'lacerating temper' in front of Bill's guests.

Doug Band, a former Clinton adviser, resigned from the Clinton Foundation in June. Chelsea reportedly helped oust him

She screamed 'Inexcusable incompetence!' and demanded that Doug Band, a political adviser and lawyer who was Bill's former personal assistant, be terminated immediately.

Band, known as 'Bill's adopted son', was portrayed as the chief villain in the Times story and Chelsea wanted him out.

'Chelsea hated Band. She hated the influence he had over her father, and she deeply resented the inference that he was somehow like a son to Bill. That really grated on her'.

'If Bill wasn't exactly afraid of Chelsea, he was definitely in awe of her', the author quotes an unnamed guest.

'I would have bet my last dollar that Chelsea was going to take over the foundation'.

Hillary agreed with Chelsea that Bill's old cronies had to go.

Stepping back from the verbal attack, he let Hillary and Chelsea make changes to the Foundation and he flew off to Africa.

The heart of the Foundation was moved from the Clinton's presidential library in Little Rock to the Time-Life Building in New York City 'where Chelsea could manage it'.

In June 2015, Chelsea got her way when Doug Band resigned.

After skillfully moving in on Bill's adored Clinton Foundation hoping to run it herself, Chelsea wanted to include her husband, Marc Mezvinsky in the family business.

Pregnant with her first child, and writing a book for ages ten to 14, It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going, she was now doggedly pressuring her parents to make room in the family foundation for her husband.

Bill and Hillary weren't particularly fond of Marc when Chelsea first brought him home.

He wasn't their 'cup of tea' and he was left out of family get-togethers.

Hillary was always worried about Marc's financials dealings not being 'kosher' and decided to have one of her aides keep an eye on him and report his moves back to her.

They were less than enthusiastic when Chelsea decided that she was going to marry Marc.

'They were uncomfortable with Marc's father's felony conviction and jail sentence'.

They were worried about 'sins of the father' and that the tainted Mezvinsky family name would tarnish Chelsea.

'Bill and Hillary ran as far away as they could from Marc's parents'.

Edward Mezvinsky, Marc's father and a former Iowa congressman, was involved in a number of failed business deals that resulted in a conviction for bank, mail and wire fraud.

He was conned by fraudulent African-based investment schemes and dropped the Clinton name hoping to raise funds.

He was indicted, pleaded guilty to many felony charges, convicted of 31 charges of fraud and served five years in federal prison.

Marc's mother, Marjorie Margolies, once a reporter for Channel 4 in Washington back in the 1970's and 1980's, won a seat in Congress in 1992 from her home state of Pennsylvania.

She lost reelection in 1994 and unsuccessfully ran for Lieutenant Governor in 1998.

She attempted a run for a congressional seat in the 2013 Democratic primary but received no support from the Clintons.

The couple divorced in 2007 and they don't show up in any of Chelsea's wedding pictures.

With Chelsea's pregnancy and the warm, fuzzy idea of becoming grandparents, the chill enveloping Chelsea's husband began to dissipate.

Marc started showing up at the Clinton's home in Chappaqua.

At a dinner in the spring of 2014, Bill put his arm around Marc's shoulder and took him into his office for a little chat.

'They came out looking like best friends, so it was obvious that they had a breakthrough,' writes Klein.

'Marc's name began appearing on Clinton Global Initiative-related things'.

He began meeting with wealthy investors who had close ties to the Clintons including Lloyd C. Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs as well as hedge-fund manager Marc Lasry, who had contributed heavily to Hillary's 2008 presidential campaign.

After having dinner with Greece's prime minister, Mezvinsky invested millions in Greek bank stocks and Greek debt betting on a turnaround of Greece's economy.

It was disastrous and he lost it all.

'Investing in Greece is stupid', Larry Kudlow, an economist and CNBC senior contributor told Klein.

'Doing it on the basis of a dinner with an ultra-weak prime minister who was a temporary figurehead is even stupider'.

While Chelsea was thrilled to bring Marc into the family fold, she was also jealous of his relationship with her father and doesn't like the way Marc cozies up to her father all the time trying to ingratiate himself.
