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.

>>Mooch had to go. He had a great opportunity given to him and he blew it. He made President Trump look really bad, and his obscenity—filled rant to the press revealed very bad judgement on his part.

I see it differently. This is war, and Mooch’s vocabulary was soldier talk.
I think Sarah is far too patient with the MSM answering the same question time after time, even though she drew a line and said no more questions about it, and then proceeded to answer it again and again. Too soft.
Kellyanne is too nice, too.
MSM likes Kelly. Mooch was the right move for real purging.
Like I said, this is a war for our country. I don’t care what vocabulary is used. I want these seditious traitors arrested, charged, convicted, and....well, whatever happens to traitors these days.
Mooch wouldn't last a day as a soldier under Kelly's command.
I apologize. Although this wasn’t one of them, there are situations where crudeness is the best response. Foul language, sparsely used and well placed, has pushed many issues to resolution where sweetness and light have not succeeded.

Probably not. That’s why it was important for him to have bypass access to PDJT.
Though everyone seems to think Kelly is the MAN, I reserve my overall judgement. Firing Mooch was Strike One.
How so, in the unemployment line?
No, this was some speed-play chess - Mooch brought in to ride the lightning in order to unload Reince (and underlings) and Spicer (and underlings). Any leaking henceforth is now easily traced to McMaster, Bannon, Miss Fancy Pants, OR a Bobo holdover.
Now the War Cabinet is complete. This mission accomplished, but a new and far more important mission on the near horizon...
I agree. Also, I don’t hear much about Mueller & Investigation, except that Mueller (Uranium sample) and other Democrats need special investigator.
As for Gen Kelly, this might be a set up, to find out the truth about him. Much like Prebius. That was to find out his loyalties...and get him out of RNC Admin. Much to come on this one.
Mooch?? Scaramucci was a terrible Trump representative with that foul mouth of his, and he should have been fired!
I do understand the concept, but you totally misunderstood my thinking. Apology accepted. :)
I agree
Who would he be fighting for? This guy admitted to voting for Clinton and Obama and called Hillary, “the coolest person on the planet. He donated money to Kerry, Obama, Hillary. Who would he be fighting?
Because he entered a totally new realm only two years ago.
And what did he do as he "learned the ropes" and campaigned?
Oh, that's right: he won the friggin' US Presidency in his first political campaign ever. Against the entire Establishment. Against the Swamp. Against all odds. Against your ilk.
Managing in business is not the same as managing in government. So, yes. President Trump is "still" learning the ropes, just like any executive would when faced with a unique new environment—supergenius or not.
It's times like this when people's true character and motivations shine through. They just can't resist the urge to disparage—with snot-nosed self-indulgence—rather than constructively criticize...
Kind of a fatalistic outlook?
Was he channeling Ted Cruz? It's called "politics"...
Thinking out loud.....President Trump knows people and knows business.
Could it be possible that President Trump only brought Scaramucci in to clear the deck for the REAL Communications Director???
It makes sense to me.....the person appointed would start with a clean slate and even the democrat steno pool (media) won’t be able to blame him/her?!
Just thinkin’.
EODGUY
What a joke they are eating their own. Just waiting for the next wall to fall from twitter.
If you want all kinds of stupid profanities go watch some left-wing tv like comedy central. Mooch doesn’t even witness the birth of his kid? There is no room for stupid tirades like mooch lauded on bannon and preibus ( even if preibus should have been canned).
You invented a new word, np. I like it.
Methinks I'm going to be "snicledring" for the rest of the night...
Were you, by chance, a Cruz supporter????
Obama is a filthy Leftist, who wouldn't have the balls to hire someone like Scaramucci—for good or for ill.
Last time I checked, nobody ever bats a thousand. Over a lengthy career, Donald J. Trump has exhibited some pretty decent hiring and judgement—first in business, and then when he built a campaign team that launched a winning electoral juggernaut, and now he is doing the same as President—constructing a winning team while trimming away the fat along the way.
So pick your little nits all you want; it's the totality of his "hiring and judgement" that this President will be evaluated on, when all is said and done. I, for one, wish him well, and there's nobody in the entire federal government whose "hiring and judgement" I trust more. You?
These momentary snapshots merely expose the crackpots who like to take cheap shots...
What the @@@@ is going on there? SMH.
Of course. The Media—and the #NeverTrumpers who take their cues from it—will second-guess every decision the President makes—good or bad—hiring or firing—no matter what it is.
Both are absolutely incapable of anything else. It's as predictable as the sun rising...
