Team of vipers : my 500 extraordinary days in the Trump White House
After standing at Donald Trump's side on Election Night, Cliff Sims joined him in the West Wing as Special Assistant to the President and Director of White House Message Strategy. He soon found himself pulled into the President's inner circle as a confidante, an errand boy, an advisor, a punching bag, and a friend. Sometimes all in the same conversation. As a result, Sims gained unprecedented access to the President, sitting in on private meetings with key Congressional officials, world leaders, and top White House advisors. He saw how Trump handled the challenges of the office and how he saw the world. For five hundred days, Sims also witnessed first-hand the infighting and leaking, the anger, joy, and recriminations. He had a role in some of the President's biggest successes, and he shared the blame for some of his administration's worst disasters. He gained key insights into the players of the Trump West Wing, from Jared Kushner and John Kelly to Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway. Sims even helped Trump craft his enemies list, knowing who was loyal and who was not. And he took notes. Hundreds of pages of notes. In real-time. Sims stood with the President in the eye of the storm raging around him, and now he tells the story. The story of power and palace intrigue, backstabbing and bold victories, as well as painful moral compromises.
BOOK
Somebody I Used to Know: How Trump Minimizes His Former Insiders
The latest of President Trump's forgotten staffers is onetime messaging director Cliff Sims, whose new memoir, Team of Vipers: My 500 Extraordinary Days in the Trump White House, portrays staff disfunction and includes a few critical descriptions of Trump. Despite Trump's claims, posts on Sims's Instagram account indicate that the two men interacted several times; one shows Sims rubbing elbows with Trump on the night he was elected; another features Sims appearing to converse with the president over his Oval Office desk. \"[Page] actually said he was a very low-level member of, I think, a committee for a short period of time,\" Trump said at a White House press conference.
