He soon found himself pulled into the President's inner circle as a confidante, an errand boy, an advisor, a punching bag, and a friend. Sometimes all in the same conversation. As a result, Sims gained unprecedented access to the President, sitting in on private meetings with key Congressional officials, world leaders, and top White House advisors. He saw how Trump handled the challenges of the office and how he saw the world. For five hundred days, Sims also witnessed first-hand the infighting and leaking, the anger, joy, and recriminations. He had a role in some of the President's biggest successes, and he shared the blame for some of his administration's worst disasters. He gained key insights into the players of the Trump West Wing, from Jared Kushner and John Kelly to Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway. Sims even helped Trump craft his enemies list, knowing who was loyal and who was not. And he took notes. Hundreds of pages of notes. In real-time. Sims stood with the President in the eye of the storm raging around him, and now he tells the story. The story of power and palace intrigue, backstabbing and bold victories, as well as painful moral compromises.14aTrump, Donald q(Donald John),d1946- 0aPresidentszUnited StatesxStaffvBiography. 4aPresidenteszEstados UnidosvBiografías 0aPresidentszUnited StatesvBiography. 4aGobierno y prensa 4aComunicación en política  0aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty2017- 4aEstados UnidosxPolítica y gobierno y2017- uwww.thomasdunnebooks.com uwww.stmartins.com
