Political Cornflakes: New tell-all book written by former White House staffer describes scenes of chaos within the Trump administration

A new book by a former White House staffer claims that employees within President Donald Trump’s administration are “absolutely out of control” at times. The tell-all titled “Team of Vipers,” which is set to hit shelves next week, describes the browbeating, dysfunction and dissatisfaction experienced within the White House during the first part of Trump’s time in office. The author, Cliff Sims, writes that former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said in frustration that “this is the worst [expletive] job I’ve ever had.” He recounts an instance in which Trump wandered out of a room and began watching television as former House Speaker Paul Ryan was trying to discuss a Republican health-care bill with him.
