The Instant New York Times Best Seller
"Sims’s vivid portrait of Trump shrewdly balances admiration with misgivings, and his intricate, engrossing accounts of White House vendettas and power plays have a good mix of immersion and perspective. The result is one of the best of the recent flood of Trump tell-alls." (Publishers Weekly)
The first honest insider’s account of the Trump administration. If you hate Trump you need the truth; if you love Trump you need the truth.
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 he learned from Trump himself how he saw the world.
For 500 days, Sims also witnessed firsthand 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, often surprising insights into the players of the Trump West Wing, from Jared Kushner and John Kelly to Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway.
He 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 that no one else has written - because no one else could. The story of what it was really like in the West Wing as a member of the president’s team. The story of power and palace intrigue, backstabbing and bold victories, as well as painful moral compromises, occasionally with yourself.
Team of Vipers tells the full story, as only a true insider could.

Remove the beepers!
If you're going to use expletives in the story either say the actual word or just say "eff" or use another substitute. The beepers just ruin it. Otherwise... it was super interesting!

Donald Trump discovered!
I found the writing absolutely absorbing. The point of view of a friend of Donald Trump who gets sucked into the mailstrom of the Trump Whitehouse is utterly beguiling. I liked how he is critical of his own actions which often fall short of his Christian principles. And the whole story is so ably told in accessible language, as if he were having a conversation with his reader, not giving a political diatribe. I feel I know more about Donald Trump from reading this and although I still would not vote for him in a fit if I were an American , he is a much more complex character than I have hitherto realized.
A really, really good read !

Good story spoiled by annoying bleeps.
This is a good first-hand story spoiled by the annoying bleeps every time the author uses a swear word. Come on - we’re all adults who know how people really speak.

A self serving book
A sadly self serving book from yet another White House staff member that tries to validate their time serving President Trump. It is, at least, an honest reflection of the immorality and dysfunction of the Trump white house.
