Trump lashes out at former White House aide over explosive tell-all book

President Donald Trump Tuesday slammed a former White House employee — and seemed to suggest a threat to take legal action — over a new tell-all book describing the West Wing as a chaotic place occupied by a “team of vipers.”

Cliff Sims is making the rounds on television as he tries to sell his book about his time on Trump’s staff. The media blitz included a stop at CNN’s “New Day” morning show on Tuesday.

Sims told CNN the “atmosphere” created by Trump “encourages a lot of the infighting.” He described Tuesday the scene during which he and Trump were crafting the “enemies list” in the president’s private study just outside the Oval Office as a time he “lost myself” and his “moral compass.”

The former aide said he felt like he was dishing dirt unfairly about “people in the White House, who I felt were basically disloyal to him.”

I can't wait for the book Hope Hicks is going to write!

But in the meantime the "Team of Vipers" looks like it might be worthwhile. He seems to really do a number on John Kelly but maybe he's just the easiest target of the bunch. It seems that Sims doesn't have much to say about the Russia/Putin activities, he probably didn't have anything to do with it. This book is more for the WH office gossip. I'm glad Cheeto is blowing a gasket over it.
