It was discussed as a book written by Cliff Sims about his time working in the White House and the portrait it painted of the president and his administration. It was mentioned that Sims was critical of people around Trump, but not critical of Trump himself, and he seemed to still respect the president.
it had been basically I read this book his new book Team of Vipers which is about his time working in the White House and the sort of portrait that he puts forward of the president and his administration was interesting to me
one of the things The Sims book which one of the things I chose to raise in the interview with him is that you know I think sort of Trump inherently I mean you do have these figures like Christie and Giuliani but you do have these other figures who I think are basically out to make a quick buck they've joined the White House because they want some sort of outside business deal
Sims' book is very critical of people around Trump but it's not really critical of the president himself he basically still respects the president he doesn't agree with everything President Trump says he says you know sometimes he's kind of uncouth with his words but basically he likes him and he thinks he's been misserved by his staff
Sims has been rumored to wanting to have a political career as a Republican in Alabama where he's from I think that they're trying to walk this line which is you want to sell a book or you want to do something that makes money and you know get to a certain amount of attention so you have to have some criticisms in there but you also want to stay on the president's good side and so you kind of have to tiptoe around what you say about him
in Sims' case it doesn't seem to have worked because apparently Trump is angry about the book and tweeting about it even though Sims himself is pretty complimentary to Trump
Episode: “America runs on Dunkin.”
