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.

“Kelly is in charge.
Don’t let anyone doubt it...Scaramucci apparently did. Big ass mistake. Don’t mess with a four-star Marine, they believe in controlling the battlefield.”

This, Kelly is taking charge right out of the gate.

Why would a supergenius need to learn the ropes?

Agree, rocky first year. He had to “reach out” to some of the GOPe people (Priebus, etc) to sort of keep everybody calm. But those people do him more damage than good. So he’s finally putting his OWN people in there. But the Mooch screwed himself with his “potty mouth” last week. Can’t have a communications director communicating that kind of trash talk.

In before everyone vigorously defending Scaramucci the past several days turns 180 degrees.

Rush said it and he claimed that, in the N.Y. Times article about the firing and Kelly, that Kelly called Comey, when he was fired and comforted him.

I haven't read the article yet, but shall.

I have a hard time considering him a big fighter after only a very few days in the role he had...

There’s more to this than any of us know...

Do you think President Trump is stupid??? Do you think President Trump has no word on what happens???

Go sit down and think a little more....

“Kelly just got rid of our biggest fighter besides Trump.”

Do you agree with the mooch going after Bannon in public?

I don’t fault his intentions, but Scaramucci was obviously in way over his head.

Kelly should also remove whoever recommended that Scarymoochie be hired in the first place.

I don’t care. Bannon is a big boy. He doesn’t need protection from Kelly.

Agree.

Though I am still holding on to the thought this (and other actions like it) are part of a ‘scheme’ to get things in line.

I had thought (or hoped) from the beginning the Priebus was only hired for his ‘connections’ and when his value was used up, toss him aside.

Scaramouch may have been part of this ‘scheme’ as a way to get things moving quickly.

I still think that the Sessions todo was part of a diversionary scheme - Notice how someone two short months ago wasn’t fit to be a ‘dog catcher’, all of a sudden is being thrown up as a martyr of sorts by the people that supposedly ‘hated him’ — AND he is still there.

BFF is a bit of a stretch. There is much planning required to drain a swamp of creatures that have the same mental capacity as yourself.

It requires logic and power that you can use against them.

Right now the Deep State is 100% dependent on the MSM.

Kelly put a sock in it and dispatches a prima dona.

That was a tactical decision. That strike is done.
