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.

Wow that was fast.
Well, you DO want people who know people who leak like Priebus need to go. You do NOT want people who leak that they’re about to get Priebus fired for leaking.
This action is. What next? Kelly hiring back all the people Scaramucci fired. I bet that is the next step. DUMB!!!!!
Bump. Exactly.
Well it least it should be at least something of a hard decision. This was an absolute no brainer.
Sun tzu.
I feel rather bad for Scaramucci, he was prepared to keep the job for the long haul. Maybe those holdings of his were an issue.
funny, but sadly true.
This guy seemed like a loudmouth who “Scared the Mucci” out of Trump and many of us.
Although I loved his no BS approach, he was a bit raunchy.
Apparently like Gen. Alex Haig, Gen.. Kelly is in charge !!
I like, since I think Scaramuch was a lot too far.
Kelly seems like a “shut up and do your job while you still have one” kind of guy.
From The Wizard of Oz.
My people come and go so quickly here.
Is this what some refer to as 4-D chess?
WTH? Who knows perhaps it’s for the best but doesn’t seem that way. Hope the mooch can go home and restore his family again.
No. It’s called ‘learning the ropes.’
when you talk power trips he was clearly on one. Speaking the way he did was verbal muscle flexing.
I figured something might have been up being that Scaramucci has been radio silent the past few days. If I had to guess what the fatal mistake was, it would be that crude comment he made about what Steve Bannon might do with himself in private. While I'm all for more aggressive communications out of the WH, Scaramucci's remark about Bannon seemed way over the line.
