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.

Rule number one, don’t text or call anyone, esp a reporter, when you’ve had two too many scotches.

Is there anything positive going on in the White House?

Are regulations being removed?

Are Federal agencies being cut?

Are taxes being cut?

Is Obamacare being eliminated?

Is the military being strengthened?

Who recommended these characters for WH positions?

This chaos is seriously disturbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He didn't smoke out anything. How silly. Reince wasn't fired for leaking and no one knows if he was leaking. And I know you don't know.

No Mooch was humiliated being fired after 10 days and he will forever be known as a naïve nitwit for giving that interview, which really shows he is rather stupid.

It was just another A-hole opinion piece.

Everybody has one, just don’t try to turn it into news.

He completed it in 10 days and leaves with his job completed and head held high

Yup, guy finally gets the job he wanted since before the election - but that Priebus wouldn't allow him to have - then his wife leaves him for taking the job, and you think it was all by design?

Right. The suspension of disbelief is strong within you. Thanks for the laugh, though.

This is one of the WORST things a new leader can do. Political position or otherwise, it is a terrible move.

Assuming it is true, of course.

Strikes me as scripted from the get go. Purpose: Spicer & Priebus.

Adds more credibility to the idea that Sessions and Trump are also in a Kabuki Theater dance to accomplish some end

Have you ever taken control of a group you did not hire?

This is EXACTLY what you do.

I think Trump likes Scaramucci and the two became very simpatico, and as Newt said, “they speak the same language”.

However, Scaramucci overplayed his talent and his position, riding loud and rough, as if he were the Chief of Staff.

I presume he was feeling his liquor in that late night call to Lizza. He might have made it if he had stayed simply “smooth and articulate” and not imploded on what, Day 8?
