Donald Trump: What Makes Him Tick - Former White House Communications Director Cliff Sims

This episode is not about political beliefs or who you voted for in the last election. If you are looking for that, you are in the wrong place because this is as middle-of-the-road as it gets when it comes to political affiliation. However, it is the furthest thing from center when talking about the most powerful person in the world. This is a behind-the-scenes account of what makes President Donald Trump tick, what motivates him, and most importantly, gives us the method behind the madness from someone who sat at his right hand for 500 days.
Our guest this week on The Secrets to Winning is former White House Director of Message Strategy and New York Times Best Selling Author Cliff Sims. Recently, I sat down with Cliff at his new gig as President of Telegraph Creative to get a first-hand account of what really happened during his 500 days in the White House.
After standing at Donald Trump’s side on Election Night, Sims soon joined him in the West Wing. He quickly 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 he learned how to view the world from the President’s perspective which allowed him to better understand the methods behind such a polarizing figure.
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, often surprising insights into the players of the Trump West Wing, from Jared Kushner and John Kelly to Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway.
Throughout this conversation, we peel back the curtain on what makes the most powerful man in the world successful and what are his secrets to winning!
