Donald Trump's re-election campaign organization said Monday that it is preparing to sue Cliff Sims, a former White House official whose tell-all book a West Wing aide says left the president swinging pendulum-like between feeling outraged and injured
'The Trump campaign is preparing to file suit against Cliff Sims for violating our NDA,' campaign Chief Operating Officer Michael Glassner said Tuesday in a tweet, hours after the book 'Team of Vipers' went on sale
The campaign required most enployees to sign non-disclosure agreements, but legal analysts disagree about whether they are enforceable
Campaign officials predicted a lawsuit following the August 2018 release of Omarosa Manigault-Newman's explosive White House memoir, but none materialized
The president couldn't sit still on Tuesday as Sims took a TV victory lap, writing on Twitter that he was 'nothing more than a gofer' and protesting that he, like Manigault-Newman, had signed an NDA
Trump has become 'angrier and angrier' in recent days at Sims, his former director of message strategy, according to a White House official who said Tuesday morning that 'he's half hurt and half outraged
' The president vented his anger on Twitter, complaining that '[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!' Sims appeared Monday night on Stephen Colbert's show, and Tuesday morning on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe
' Trump has lashed out at other authors in the past – most notably Manigault-Newman and journalist Michael Wolff, who he called 'a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book
' Both Wolff's 'Fire and Fury' and Sims' 'Team of Vipers' quickly became Amazon best-sellers after paying their authors seven-figure advances
Politico reported Monday that a White House aide described him as 'very p***ed off' and 'really hopping mad
' Some former colleagues of Sims believe he may have joined the administration specifically to secretly report on what he saw and write about it afterwards
'Team of Vipers' is full of embarrassing anecdotes about the administration.Trump considered refusing to accept the results of the 2016 election if he was going to lose, Sims writes
And when he realized he won, his first thought was retribution against former Ohio governor John Kasich, one of his Republican challengers
Trump supposedly said: 'When I get to Washington I'm gonna shove it up Kasich's a**
' Sims' role in the White House was director of White House message strategy and a special assistant to the president
He also helped the President with his weekly video and radio addresses and now Trump is dismissing him as 'The videographer'
Trump has reportedly been telling his advisers: 'Who is this guy? Why is he writing this book? He wasn't even in meetings
' But 'Team of Vipers', which is already a hit on Amazon, has achieved the rare honor of uniting warring White House officials against it, Politico reported
A former senior official said: 'You wouldn't believe the text chains.The best part is the president is sort of chomping at the bit to tap this guy and tweet something to the effect of: 'I didn't know who this guy was
He taped videos.' For now Trump is heeding the advice of his advisers that Tweeting about Sims is not worth it - they are telling him to 'go run the world' but that may change as his media tour continues
Sims kicked off his book launch on ABC's Good Morning America and then went on The View
He was due to appear on CBS' 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on Monday night
In his book he claims that there were 'scenes of chaos, dysfunction and duplicity among the president, his family members and administration officials' on a daily basis
And Kellyanne Conway, he writes, was such a laughably obvious leaker that she had him draft a statement denying leaking it as he watched her dish dirt in real time
And Trump's briefly employed director of communications, Anthony Scaramuccci, was hardly a tough guy, in fact being pestered by his mother
Scaramucci got harassed by his mom the phone his second day in the job midway through threatening to fire everyone
'Mom, I'm trying to work here.Mom, Mom, Mom, okay, Mom,' he pleaded.'Mom, give me a second, okay
Here talk to Kellyanne.' The Mooch lasted nine more days.Conway however is now furious at her portrayal - but has not denied it
Sims, in his forthcoming memoir 'Team of Vipers,' describes a scene where the White House counselor is texting multiple reporters about her conversations with the president while he writes a statement denying she is a leaker on her laptop
She was apparently unaware that he could read her texts in live time as she sent and received them because her phone and laptop were both linked through the iCloud
'The fact of the matter is, you can talk to anybody in Washington, D.C.,it's about the worst kept secret in town, really
So, I wrote the truth about that,' he told ABC's 'Good Morning America' Monday.His recollection paints an unflattering portrait of the adviser, whom he calls a 'cartoon villain brought to life'
Conway angrily slapped back at allegations that she was the leaker when they surfaced last week
Conway asked: 'Do I leak to you?' as she looked reporters in the eye one by one.'Do I leak to most of you? I'm looking around
You know who the real leakers are.And if I revealed them, past and present, I'd also have to reveal who they leaked to very often
'And that would be not a lot of fun, I guess, so I won't, but you know the answer to that, you all do
' She did not say what she thought the answer in fact was.Another revelation says that Trump freaked out on election night when he thought he might lose and was about to Tweet that that he would challenge the results but was talked down by his ex-strategist Steve Bannon
Bannon told Trump to be 'patient' but Trump reasoned that it would 'just look like sour grapes if I do it after' the result came in
Sims claims Trump said: 'Somebody get (media mogul and Fox News owner) Rupert (Murdoch) on the phone and tell him to get ready to make this a big deal if we need to'
At 11.13pm when Murdoch called to congratulate him, Trump, who is, apparently, known for being superstitious, said: 'Not yet, Rupy
We have a three-stroke lead with one hole left.We can't celebrate until we're in the clubhouse
' Sims writes vividly about the Presidential debate when the Trump team brought four of the women who accused Bill Clinton of raping or sexually assaulting them into the chamber Clinton saw them immediately in the audience when he entered and Sims writes that 'I don't believe I have ever witnessed a man look that shaken'
The book says: 'Of all the things he'd seen and done as president….I'm not sure anything was more traumatizing than the moment he locked eyes with a woman who'd accused him of raping her almost forty years earlier…
he looked like he was melting'.Sims claims that Trump's strategy for dealing with the opioid crisis was to shock users out of their addiction with gruesome videos
Trump supposedly told White House counselor Conway to give the job to Sims and said he should make 'the most horrifying ads you've ever seen'
Trump said: 'No, I mean it.We need people dying in a ditch.I want bodies stacked on top of bodies
do it like they did cigarettes.They had body bags piled all over the streets and ugly people with giant holes in their faces and necks'
Trump concluded: 'Next thing you know, the kids don't want to be cool and smoke anymore'
Among the other anecdotes in the book is the bizarre episode when Disney came to record Trump's voice for the animatronic version of himself, a tradition with every President
Trump supposedly wanted them to add something to his spoken list of 'achievements of the American spirit' - the skyscraper - because of his background in real estate
Disney balked because America had not invented the skyscraper and Trump let it go
After the Access Hollywood tape came out Republican National Committee research director Raj Shah texted a brutal assessment of Trump to his counterpart on the campaign, Andy Hemming
Shah wrote: 'I'm kinda enjoying this, some justice.I honestly don't think it's the worst thing he's done but somehow he got passes for the other acts
' Borrowing Hillary Clinton's phrase for Trump supporters, he added: 'Trump is a deplorable
' Shah later became Deputy Press Secretary and recently quit to work with Bill Clinton's one-time State Department spokesman James Rubin
Other characters who appear include Stephen Miller, the president's senior policy advisor, who is known to be anti-immigration
He is recorded as saying: 'I would be happy if not a single refugee foot ever again touched American soil
' Sims writes that, any time a refugee or immigrant committed a "gruesome" crime, Miller would walk over to the White House press office to demand that press releases be issued about the cases
Sims says Miller made the comment about refugees during a conversation the two were having about immigration
When Sims left his job last year White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said he was 'a valuable member of President Trump's team on the campaign and for 15 months in the White House'
Now his book is out the White House is refusing to comment officially and the pushback from his former colleagues could be due to them 'panicking' about how they are presented
One official admitted that Sims was 'with the President quite often alone' and played a key role in presentation of the 2017 tax cuts
A former White House official said: 'The president's close relationship with Sims wasn't a secret to anyone in the building'
Unlike others who served in Trump's White House Sims says that he prefers to 'knife people in the front' - and has put his name to his claims
Extracts already released show that in 2017 Trump was so paranoid about leakers that he asked Sims to give him lists of people who were giving information to journalists
Sims writes: 'Give me their names', he said, his eyes narrowing.'I want these people out of here
I'm going to take care of this.We're going to get rid of all the snakes, even the bottom-feeders
' 'The President proceeded to name White House staffer after White House staffer.Almost no one was deemed beyond reproach—not his chief of staff, not senior aides, almost no one other than those with whom he shared a last name
He wanted me to help him judge their loyalty.How, I wondered, had it come to this?' Conway is singled out by Sims who accuses her of secretly trashing Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and ex-White House officials Reince Priebus, Sean Spicer and Bannon
Sims writes that she 'stood in a class of own in terms of her machinations' and that he 'had to admire her sheer gall
' His withering assessment was that she was a 'cartoon villain come to life' who would do the very thing she criticised others for - gossiping anonymously
Former White House chief of staff John Kelly confided in Sims that it was the 'worst f****** job' he had ever had, 'Team of Vipers' says
Kelly hated his post so much that he said that being fired would be the 'best day I've ever had'
In his first speech to staff Kelly told them that their loyalty should be to their country first, not the President, a line which caused alarm among Trump's supporters
Elsewhere the book says that during one bruising phone conversation Trump berated then House Speaker Paul Ryan and asked him why 'Democrats have been kicking your a** for decades?' Trump told Ryan: 'Because they know a little word called 'loyalty'
why can't you be loyal to your president, Paul? 'I remember being in Wisconsin and your own people were booing you
You were out there dying like a dog, Paul.Like a dog! And what'd I do? I saved your a**
