Scaram is interesting. He was hired for a particular job in the White House. He did that job perfectly, not due to his diligence for the President but because he is what he is which is why he was brought in. Then he was fired, ostensibly because he disrupted things and caused certain people to quit who were not useful but whom DJT did not want to directly fire. I doubt he knows why he was hired for that job and was/is, of course enraged that he was fired like that.This is done in the business world when a tycoon buys several businesses and wants to merge them and needs to unload the now redundant company officers who are probably good men and whose firing would be resented by the rest of the staff. You hire a “co-ordinator” whose job is to make things disagreeable for the targets so that they quit. Then you “fire” him for disruption. The designated hatchet-man knows normally what he is there for but not necessarily.
Otherwise known as a “hatchet-man.”
