07.31.17 Anthony Scaramucci RESIGNS as White House Communications Director Comes less than a week after hiring
JULY 31, 2017 Washington, DC (ABC/WBEN) Anthony Scaramucci resigns as White House Communications Director.
This comes the same day John Kelly was sworn in as Chief of Staff. Sources tell ABC Scaramucci resigned, asking to be redeployed at the Export Import Bank as chief strategy officer.
Scaramucci had not been on the job less than a week. It may be most memorable for an expletive-laden conversation with a New Yorker reporter that disparaged other members of the Trump team.
WTH IS GOING ON?!!! This is getting ridiculous and sadly is looking bad for the president!!!
Train wreck would be an appropriate descriptor of these events.
Scaramucci: “Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.”
Bttt.
5.56mm
Maybe it was a relief pitcher role . . . come in and do a specific thing, and then go to the showers. He ‘did’ get rid of Risen Prybus.
Neither did his telling all that he “reports directly to POTUS, not CoS Kelly”
In the Trump Administration, it’s TWO strikes and your OUT!
Guess his “NYC attitude” was a bit much, even for fellow New Yorker Trump.
I had a strong feeling this guy wouldn’t last. He was just way over the top, and ran his mouth too much.
NYTimes says Kelly asked to boot him and generally made it clear that he was in charge:

This is becoming a damned joke.
Resigns?! FIRED. And rightfully so. He jumped in and embarrassed Trump.
Guess he is off in a corner sucking on his pacifier
Wrong. Scaramucci screwed this one up pretty bad - with his BIG MOUTH.
Yes, great point. Left on a high note.
Scaramucci might have been a good choice...if the U.S. was the Mafia. However, we aren’t. He would have been a comically bad choice, but it wasn’t funny. I’m glad that he’s gone.
Good! The guy was a wart! Untrustworthy. DC insider wannabee.
“Scaramucci: “Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.””
And as it turns out, Kelly was right. Four-Star Marines believe in controlling the battlefield.
Kellys just sent a big message.
Spicer is an establishment hack, whose heart really was not in it - and it was getting obvious.
But funnier than watching jeb run things.
