President Trump’s headline-grabbing communications director Anthony Scaramucci has been shown the door, after just 11 days on the job.
The surprise decision was announced Monday afternoon as retired Gen. John Kelly took control of the White House staff, apparently moving quickly to impose order on a West Wing gripped for weeks by infighting and public trash-talk.
"Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director," the White House said in a terse written statement. "Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him the best."
The move comes on the same day Kelly was sworn in as the new White House chief of staff -- ironically, stepping into a vacancy that Scaramucci played at least some role in creating.
The abrupt decision to remove Scaramucci signals Kelly’s no-nonsense approach to a White House whose inner-drama has drawn recent media comparisons to "Survivor" and "Game of Thrones." Kelly has been empowered by Trump to make staff changes as he takes control, and The New York Times reported Kelly personally requested Scaramucci's removal.

Looks like my intuition was correct.
That was quick!
Correct. BS Kelly was not going to have a loose cannon under him running around acting like he was on a Brooklyn St corner
He has had a tough week.
His wife filed for divorce and according to the threads here, he has been fired a dozen or so times today.
Yup and good for him
Hi.
There are a number of threads about this.
5.56mm
Can you blame him?
This is getting to be a circus. The President is acting like he is on a real life episode of The Apprentice. I believe now, that his ideas aside, he really has no understanding of how to do the job. And he seems very unwilling to listen to people who do. He says everything the base in places like FR want to hear but does he mean it? His NYC past says no. And I do not care that he has made money. So have Mark Cuban, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Bloomberg, Soros. I don’t want them as POTUS.
Maxine Waters is calling for the impeachment of the president for firing such a fine man as the Mooch.
OK! Bravo! More 3D chess! Or is it 4D? I’m a little confused. Someone help?
Wow is this some kind of record? He was blistering.
Too bad. I found him highly entertaining.
Cast aside.....like yesterday’s Newspaper!
Trash Pick-up happens on a weekly or is it weakly(?) basis.
I was enjoying the fake Scaramucci on Twitter a lot. Funny stuff.
Hopefully Gen Kelly will be the gate keeper and all riff raft BS will stop at his door.
I think Donald needs a bit of regimentation too.
Not a lot but more then none
I had so much hope for him.
He had it all.
Then he threw it all away.
Tragic.
I like him right out of the shoot.
Wonder what this means for Sean Spicer?
