Team of Vipers – My 500 Extraordinary Days in the Trump White House by Cliff Sims

I did not learn much about the Trump Administration that I did not already know or suspect. The author does shine much more light though on the internal cut throat behavior of the White House staffers, how they attack and back-stab each other to get ahead, and the level to which they will go to pander to Trump.

The most striking revelation for me was the author’s reverence for Trump, almost as a messiah. He relates how much he believes in virtually everything the President was doing or trying to do. The especially sad part of that is that Sims claims to be an evangelical Christian yet was by his own admission one of the vipers he writes about. I can’t even imagine a sincere Christian who seriously follows the teaching of Jesus and also cares about our country behaving as he admits he did. Of course I know I am prejudice here!
