President Trump has opted to remove Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director, as first reported by The New York Times.
Scaramucci's removal comes 10 days after his appointment to the role, a move which caused significant shakeups in Trump's White House.
The New York Times reported Monday that new White House chief of staff John Kelly requested Scaramucci's ouster, three people close to the decision told the newspaper.
Kelly reportedly made clear to White House staff members that he will be in charge there following Trump's announcement he would be chief of staff last Friday.
The Times reported that it is not clear whether Scaramucci will remain at the White House in another position or if he will leave Trump's administration entirely.
Some Twitter users on Monday voiced joy that Scaramucci, a former Wall Street financier, is already out of Trump’s White House.

great move by a great manager, bring in someone to take out a problem - then remove the new guy who did the dirty work. wash hands. Reince and repeat!
The talk is that his divorce is about to become salacious, so that might have something to do with it.

Oh.. do we need a special investigation on Trump for this too?
Perhaps Trump will mention it in his book in 2025 when it comes out... until then, it's his call and his call alone.
Perhaps Mooch was brought in as a hatchet man?
Thunderbolt and lighting
Very very frightening
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Mrs Mooch left him- probably another scandal in the making....I liked his no nonsense attitude, but was not a fan of his language- at all.
One reason public speaking is a challenge is because you cannot always use the appropriate word and you cannot always say what you’re thinking.
NEXT!
He's a New Yorker... that's how they talk. His big mistake was one of judgement... talking to someone from the New Yorker and expecting it to not get published word for word the next second.
I wasn't a great fan of Spicer, but I'd rather have him than Scaramucci. All that was missing with Scaramucci's act was the clown shoes.
This is due to Gen Kelly.
Are you saying it’s not 4D chess?
three people close to the decision told the newspaper.
Doesn’t that constitute a “leak”?
Whats THAT about?
My thoughts as well. Doesn't ANY vetting go on?
I disagree. Using personal friendship and loyalty as the main or sole criterion for selecting staff would be a recipe for a failed Presidency. You would wind up with an administration where the President is either surrounded by toadies and yes-men rather than by competent people, or you wind up with people who put personal loyalty ahead of what's best for the country.
Well, he lasted 10 days do at least he’ll get a government pension?
I wondered whether Mooch's tirade the other night was alcohol fueled. Surely, that wouldn't go over well with The Donald.
The General is definitely running the show.
Things are about to get all-too-serious with North Korea, is my theory why Trump put Kelly in charge in the first place.
General Kelly to Trump’s newest hire: “You’re Fired!”.
