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.

>> Then the Goodfellas tirade <<

Not only was it a tirade —

Ironically, it also would have been a “leak” if Scaramouche had possessed the foresight to tell the reporter that his comments were on background.

In other words, he wanted to leak to the reporter about a leak!

But unfortunately, the putative leak exploded in Tony’s metaphorical face, sorta like when you strike a match in the presence of methane that’s leaking from a cow’s hind end.

So much for the Scar’s skills as a “communications” director.

I’m fine, you’re not, and it is you who really need to stop doing “bath salts” and then posting.

So, no one takes responsibility for hiring and judgement? Zero responsibility. If Obama did this, he would be made fun of here.

Definitely the right move.

That's right.

And the real big news the past week is we exchanged Priebus for John F. Kelly.

I was gob smacked simply by who he chose to phone. CNN? Ryan Lizza?

Heck, *I* needed a drink on that bone headed move.

Who could LEAK all that bile against your boss, the Chief of Staff, slander him, brag about how you were the one with the straight line to the POTUS, and leak a declaration the Chief of Staff was beneath you and to be gone on Friday, for LEAKING. Laughable on its face.

We could guess there might be a noose and a trap door rustled up, just for Mooch’s public stupidity. Too bad. He was silver tongue talent at the presser, as you said.

I agree.

This is a mess.

Another thing that concerns me is that he is surrounding himself with generals.

You don’t get beyond a major unless you have a lot of political skills.

Scaramouche.

Trump let me go,
and I'm so low,
they just don't know
they made much woe.

Trump hires a guy to fire Reince then lets it go.

Trump could have just fired Reince on his own; Reince reported to Trump, not to Scaramucci.

All that was accomplished by hiring Scaramucci was that the news was dominated by things other than Trump's agenda for a week.

True. He is a walking self-destruct mechanism.

And the wife, Diedre Ball, (a babe) just left him.

Tell Laz.

These items do not happen at the staffing level for the White House.

Where is your other list? The one as long as your arm, of undoing regulations and reversals of Bark Obama.

All this while the government wants you held prisoner in the White House, stalls your nominees, freezes your legislative agenda, and the media complex cuts you and your swamp cleaning apparatus to shreds 24/7. Wake up.

Scaramucci: Died of a self inflicted wound.

Kelly: Clearly in charge of the WH staff.

Trump: Let the chips transparently fall where they may.
