Trump’s White House ‘absolutely out of control’ says former aide
The chaos began on inauguration day during the PR nightmare of the President’s relatively small crowd, Cliff Sims recalls in Team Of Vipers: My 500 Extraordinary Days In The Trump White House.
The ex-communications adviser writes how former White House press secretary Sean Spicer worked the team “into a frenzy” over the issue as the President fumed and they rushed to respond.
Mr Spicer dictated a statement for Sims to type up — “a torrent of expletives with a few salient points scattered in between,” he writes, in passages of the book published by the Washington Post.
“It’s impossible to deny how absolutely out of control the White House staff — again, myself included — was at times,” adds the former director of White House message strategy.
The statement became infamous after Mr Spicer wrongly claimed the crowd was of record size, and Kellyanne Conway explained it away as “alternative facts”.
Sims describes White House counsellor Ms Conway as “the American Sniper of West Wing marksmen”, whose agenda was “survival over all others, including the President”.
Sims says he was a Trump believer and writes at time fondly of the President, although he criticises the President’s morality — as well as his own ambition and cowardice.
