When President Trump makes more changes in his West Wing (insiders suspect August or September, but who knows?), any new faces are likely to be in the mold of Anthony Scaramucci, age 53, the pugilistic Wall Streeter known as "Mooch" who was named White House communications director, beginning Aug. 15.
The announcement: "Scaramucci, a successful entrepreneur, financier, and founder of SkyBridge Capital, ... will oversee the entire communications operation, including message development and strategy. He will report directly to the President." (Usually would report to the chief of staff.)
The President is building a wartime Cabinet, for political and legal war. One longtime ally who's likely to have a more visible, frequent role: Newt Gingrich, husband of Callista Gingrich, Trump's choice for ambassador to the Vatican.
Trump relishes fights, and creates plenty of them. But now he's in a real one, with special counsel Bob Mueller signaling that he plans an expansive, exhaustive investigation aimed at Trump, his relatives, and current and former political lieutenants.

Shopping for a war time consiglieri it looks like. I don’t think Sessions qualifies but I don’t know who really would. He’ll be fighting the House, the Senate, the Judiciary, you name it.
‘Bout damn time.
Mueller wants to go down in history as the chief defender and advocate of the Swamp.
I would appreciate if the White House would announce a weekly running tally of how much this bullshit witch hunt is costing us. It has to be hundreds of millions at this point.
Time to fire Mueller, political consequences be damned. If the deep state wants a war then why wait for them to fire the first shot?
I like Giuliani as well. I’ve been wondering, however, where he’s been the past couple of months. He used to be on the scene regularly.
thats the guy....recess him in...he takes over this russia sham, shuts it down..then go after Comey..Lynch...Clinton...leakers...Rudys the guy..hes a little old, but knows where the kill shots are.
The last six months have provided the President time to settle in and examine the terrain and my guess he is ready to launch an historic offensive. The guy is a tough New York brawler, the likes of which those inside the beltway can not imagine.
Hey Donald!!! Count me in....
* I did not vote for a president that can read from a teleprompter eloquently scripted speeches vetted by a coterie of sycophants and ideologues.
* I did not vote for a president who would scrape and bow in front of world leaders and apologize for America’s “failings”.
* I did not vote for a limp-wristed, hand-wringing, bed-wetting, panty-waist, metrosexual milquetoast.
* I voted for a hard-nosed, ass-kicking, street-fighting businessman who would put the interests of his country above the fragile sensibilities of our enemies and fair-weather “friends”.
* Every black eye this president gives to the enemies of my freedom only makes me appreciate him all the more.
The democrat party, the deep state, the EU, big media, big entertainment, big sports and all their sycophants, junkies and groupies have all clearly demonstrated that they are committed, visceral enemies of my Creator-endowed rights and freedoms.

MASADA and TRUMP
Around the year 73 CE or so, a large group of Jewish rebels fled from Roman oppression to a mountain plateau called Masada. The Romans laid siege to them by constructing a huge earthen ramp. Before the ramp was completed, rather than surrender to what they understood would be a fate worse than death at the hands of the Romans, the 960 rebels (men, women and children) killed themselves. (Details here for those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masada)
In November, 2016, a rebellious American electorate decided it had had enough of passively watching their rights stripped by arrogant, out-of-touch deep state Democrats and equally deep state GOPe types and sent to the White House an equally rebellious OUTSIDER.
If some of you believe that Donald Trump is behaving strangely, think of Masada.
He’s being besieged and vilified by an 85%+ majority leftist media and DC deep state insiders – of BOTH PARTIES – who are threatened by this rebellious “outsider”. The White House is looking more and more like that mountain plateau in the desert and the unprecedented attacks on the man and his family could be analogized as that ramp the Romans constructed to reach and destroy those damned rebels on that plateau.
Allow me to cite an example of how the pressure of the attacks on Trump just manifested.
Jeff Sessions is a decent man. That said, I now question why – without apparently discussing it with the President – he recused himself in connection with the moronic inquisitional Russian probe (anal?) by deep state establishment leftists Democrats and GOPe types cut from a nearby section of the same cloth. (I also have grave reservations about Session’s recent support for unadjudicated and totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL “civil forfeiture”, but that’s a topic for another time.)
Trump’s anger stemmed from Sessions’ recusal as it has put in motion what even Rush has characterized as the most partisan opposition research operation in the history of politics. From Mueller on down, EVERY individual in that cohort is a self-identified Democrat deep stater and Clinton partisan! In fact, at Mueller’s law firm, 99.81% of their donations went to Hillary Clinton! If Donald Trump is appearing just a tad paranoid, it’s because they really ARE out to get him!
Thought Sessions did serve in the Senate, as a gentleman from the old South, he was one of the more gentile and courteous members in that body. While not naive, he probably overlooked the periodic knifings by the left as simply their normal M.O. Trump – a New Yorker – has a very different response to such behavior: He knifes them back! That’s why WE sent him into that den of vipers!
And the news just in that Sean Spicer is out and his replacement is an old Trump friend is simply more evidence that Trump is beginning to grasp the importance of surrounding himself ONLY with folks who fully understand and agree with his agenda and will not waffle and spar with a clearly hostile media gaggle.
While it might be a bit of a stretch, can you see some similarities between Masada and what the new centurions of the deep state are doing to Trump?
My prayer is that, unlike the tragic outcome at Masada, OUR rebel prevails and defeats this new barbaric Roman legion.
He’s running his own business.
Good old boy club now feels fear closet doors soon to be opened.
I have been tweeting this to him daily. And put all government worker’s on oboma care. Things would change fast...I could use some help on tweeter
Ping
Amen, brother. We have the President’s back where ever this brawl may take him.
Cast the Mal Occhio....it never has failed.
