Trump Removes Anthony Scaramucci From Communications Director Role
The New York Times ^ | July 31, 2017 | By MAGGIE HABERMAN, MICHAEL D. SHEAR and GLENN THRUSH

WASHINGTON — President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff.

The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.

<< “ He wanted him ten days ago and now he doesn’t. “ >>

Cause and effect.

Ten days ago Scaramucci was “smooth and articulate” and wanted.

Shortly thereafter he was worse than anything but, and promptly became unwanted.

I’ve said this before, Mooch was a designated hitter for the president. Leaks have stopped. RP is gone. Now Gen Kelley will do some real housecleaning.

Scaramucci's personal life deserves time to mend. Apparently the Scaramucci's are not of the same mold as the union between politically polar opposites, Mary Matelin and James Carville. I hope they find the strength and will to mend familial fences.

Trump likely prepared with a qualified, less impaired individual to fill this important position.

Its nice you defend Trump but he’s gotta know what a loose cannon this guy was before hiring him. The WH has been a revolving door. It feels like people are hired with little to no vetting.

Said he was taken off as commununications director. Didn’t say he was off the job completely.

The day he got hired I was baffled to learn of this. Why was he hired? I didn’t know all of that when he was on Fox News. Obviously he was a hot head and a crude person.

Go read the WHOLE N.Y.Times article!

You'll find it at the top of the thread,so I don't have to post a link. :-)

It isn't my opinion at all....just quoting Rush who quoted this article. *snicker*

Well, that is a good move. It sends a clear and correct message. You need to be a grown up to serve on Kelly’s staff for the President.

So long as Kelly doesn’t go Hague things will be fine.

I’d have never had someone like Scaramoucchi on my staff in the first place and If I had made that mistake I’d be quick to correct it.

Said it when he was appointed that he should not have the job so I am consistent to the core.

This is not what WINNING looks like, and this is not 6D space-time chess... The Marines have a word for this, and it starts with “Cluster”.

Bad move, bad optics, bad focus and bad leadership.

It’s not funny that this is what’s going on in the White House while the deep-state rolls on with their one-world pc bullshit, and the DC insiders continue their witch-hunting and obstruction.

I support the President, but he needs to be doing the job we sent him to the White House to do and stop this game of musical chairs (with a full cast of swamp creatures).

I was waiting to see what the fallout would be from that Bannon comment. I guess I got my answer today.

I disagree. Scaramooche was an embarrassment. He started off great. All of here for the most part loved his press conference. Best ever.

Then the Goodfellas tirade, that really surprised me.

Sorry, he couldn’t handle success.
