Trump Gets Humiliated By Former Aide After Pretending Not to Know Him
In a move that will likely surprise no one, Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to insult a former White House staffer.
This time, his wrath was aimed at former aide Cliff Sims, whose most recent memoir about his time working for Trump—Team of Vipers: My 500 Extraordinary Days in the Trump White House—is making waves for being the latest tell-all from a former member of the Trump administration.
As with most of the memoirs by his former staffers, Team of Vipers paints a picture of a White House in chaos, and his former boss is none too happy about it.
A low level staffer that I hardly knew named Cliff Sims wrote yet another boring book based on made up stories and fiction. He pretended to be an insider when in fact he was nothing more than a gofer. He signed a non-disclosure agreement. He is a mess!

Trump referred to Sims as a “gofer,” or errand boy.

Trump has made similar dismissals of people who turn on him—like George Papadopoulos and Michael Cohen—have done less to distance him from the spurned officials in the past and more to indicate how threatened Trump is by their stories and testimonies.
It’s possible Sims was expecting this, because he had pictures and inscriptions from Trump at the ready.

Love that this guy has all the proof that he wasn't just a gofer. He can shove proof right down the president's throat. https://t.co/dhnbyjgAsD

I LOVE it when the "LIAR-in-CHIEF" tries to PRETEND he "doesn't know" or "barely knows" people: He didn't know who DAVID DUKE was; He "barely knew" GEORGE PAPODOPOULOS after the investigation; Now he "barely knew" CLIFF SIMS after the book he put out…What a dishonest fraud!!!!! https://t.co/zZ2cryX1OF
