MEDIA/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Another account of life inside the Trump White House is set to join the ever-growing canon on the subject. Cliff Sims, a Trump adviser who joined the West Wing staff on Day One as a special assistant to the president after working on the campaign, is writing a memoir about his time working for the president. The book is set to be published in January, two sources familiar with the project said. Sims, who oversaw message strategy in the White House and was viewed as a MAGA loyalist who clashed with staffers whose backgrounds were from the ‘establishment’ Republican National Committee, left the White House in May. His exit was not mourned by many of his detractors in the White House communications department, who said they did not trust him. Back then, his allies said he was expecting to move over to the State Department. But Sims ultimately did not return to the administration. Sims’ book, according to people familiar with the project, has been in the works for months and was described as a thoughtful and introspective portrayal of his time serving in the Trump White House.”
