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.

This is the way Trump rolls. If not pleased, fire and get a new one. While others ppl used to the old deep state status quo wring their hand’s and gnash their teeth, he’ll operated as he always has and won’t bust a sweat doing it. Not a cluster to me, refreshing actually. And thoroughly entertaining to boot. :)

And now we believe the NYT?

[Hot Tabasco]

Loses his job, his wife & kid - all in one week’s time.

The only thing left to lose would be the truck and the dog and we could make a country western song out of him..........

[bigdaddy45]

If someone showed up in my company and screwed up THIS big, THIS fast, my first question would be “who hired this guy”????

[Starboard]

Cluster.

************

Chaos. Disarray. Confusion.

This is getting worrisome and tiresome. Better right the ship fast.

I confess I don’t really follow much of this White House Peyton Place stuff much because, as much as I like some of the results of Trump being elected, I was and still am of the mind that we are good and well screwed no matter who won the election, though at least now it won’t be doggy style.

But this stuff is getting so constant that maybe I need to start following it. i.e. I have no dog in this hunt but maybe I should.

Was this to just get Spicer and Rinse out?

[WashingtonFire]

I think the Mooch was brought in with a specific purpose in mind - smoke out the leakers and instigate the demise of the traitor Reince.

Thankfully he did this. He can shake hands with the President and leave having done his duty

[dfwgator]

Relax. Did you really expect Trump’s first year to go smoothly? He’s never held political office before. Maybe with Kelly, he finally has the right guy.

[Antoninus]

Mooch was a powderkeg just waiting to go off--plus a flaming liberal besides.

Since pre-election days, Trump has always had little patience for disloyalty and signs of incompetence. Personally, I have no problem with a revolving door in the White House. It gives no one time to build up a power-base and everyone is well aware that they could be out at any time. It's certainly a different managerial strategy. At present, I'm good with it.

[joesbucks]

What you’re seeing is the real Trump.

[Nifster]

My sarcasm detector has been off for the last few weeks

Is this another one?

[Jim W N]

This guy seemed like a loudmouth who “Scared the Mucci” out of Trump and many of us.

[Nifster]

Exactly

[Yo-Yo]

Scaramucci had not been on the job less than a week.

Are reporters at WBEN taught English?

Either Scaramucci had not been on the job a week, or Scaramucci had been on the job less than a week.

Had Scaramucci been on the job longer than a week, only then would he have not been on the lob less than a week.

[SpaceBar]

President Trump is just illustrating through example that the old adage about the difficulty in “finding good help” is true. That's why most employers have probationary periods so they can see if you are incompetent or a loose cannon.

[Iscool]

This guy was a no holds barred bulldog...I think they should have given him a couple more weeks...The leakers for the most part are still there...

[Nifster]

No it's not Don't get yer knickers in a twist 😱😱😱😱😂

[ripnbang]

What happened to all the 3D and 4D chess comments? Because he removes a guy that came in 10 days ago? Can it possibly be a brilliant move of bringing in someone to expose leaks and hypocrisy and when the job is done move on? Change the narrative on Russiagate? Perhaps Spicer and Priebus were the sources and Trump didn’t want to destroy their futures, so bring in The Mooch, evict leakers, lay down the law and give Spicer and Priebus the opportunity to resign and protect his reputation? Were things moving in the right direction with them? Sounds like Trump is a class act, to me, letting them move on with dignity and reorganize.
