Anthony Scaramucci made a positive impression with the media in his first press conference as White House communications director.
Scaramucci spoke confidently from the podium and made an effort to call on as many reporters as possible, before ending the press conference with an air kiss to the media. Many reporters described Scaramuccis performance as smooth, while others praised his comfortable speaking style.
Anthony Scaramucci is showing here why President Trump picked him, The Boston Globes DC bureau chief Matt Viser noted. Smooth and soft-spoken. Lighthearted and optimistic.
CNN anchor Dana Bash described Scaramucci as smooth as silk as a talker.
A very polished performance behind the podium from Scaramucci, observed the Washington Examiners chief political correspondent Byron York. Rare in first 6 months of this [White House].
US News and World Report senior politics writer David Catanese said, IF Scaramucci is this calm and smooth six months from now, itll serve him, the president and the press very well.
Anthony Scaramucci is having a very good, very smooth on-camera debut, said Washington Post reporter Ashley Parker.
Vogue editor Elena Sheppard, complained that Scaramucci is actually terrifying because hes so smooth and good at this.
Los Angeles Times reporter Jim Puzzanghera said Scaramucci walked the tightrope between smooth and slick in his first press conference.
Trump will love this, said Politico White House reporter Josh Dawsey. Scaramucci says he is smart, a good communicator, a brilliant businessman, genuine, a good athlete [and] more.
Scaramucci is doing a good job of channeling Trump but with a dose of self-aware humor and more coherent, said Time magazine political editor Ryan Beckwith.
Scaramucci is way more comfortable talking in front of this room than any other comms person weve seen so far in this administration, wrote CNN White House reporter Kate Bennett

Sounds good on the surface, but it should be remembered that the msm will treat someone well for one of two reasons:
1) they think fawning all over you will weaken your resistance to them and cause you to bend to their will in the future, or
2) they already think you’re one of them.
My bet is they will eventually be sorely disappointed.
Anthony Scaramucci made a positive impression with the media in his first press conference ... Vogue editor Elena Sheppard, complained that "Scaramucci is actually terrifying ..."
The press's "positive impression" is BS. Sheppard has the right idea. The press fears Scaramucci, and because of that, they also loathe him. The disdain is barely hidden.
They haven't figured out how to knock him down just yet, but the notion of "positive impression" is nothing more than expressing respect his communication skills.
“I’d go more with self-assured.”
Strongly agree.
Big difference between that and ‘slick’.
I don't trust Scaramucci as far as I can throw him. This is the same douchebag that called Trump a "hack" and a "bully" during the primaries.

Yes he is. Some of that rubs off just by interacting wit him, "contact capability." He's also going to teach them.
The press has started to label him as "slick," and that is not meant to be a compliment, it is meant to infer dishonesty.
He did. Even better was vs. Tapper.
At the end, both Wallace and Tapper looked petty, childish, stupid, and vindictive.
She may be that. Can be plenty of reasons for that sort of behavior. Some people are overachievers by nature, others feel it is necessary in order to advance, sometimes just to hold the job - insecurity at bottom. Scaramucci will put her at ease if he thinks she has the chops. He'll be a huge comfort and help to those with sufficient ability. The better she gets, the more at ease she'll come across.
Spicer was competent too, but he came off to me, occasionally, as nervous and stiff.
Tapper tried the same trick, hypocritical Trump, hypocritical Scaramucci, and so on.
Scaramucci pointed out Churchill and Reagan moving from DEM to conservative, and that it is normal for people to change and adapt, and to attack them as hypocrites is cheap and dishonest.
I imagine you don’t trust Kellyanne Conway either.
Why? When was she an anti-Trump douchebag?
Sarah is going to be a superstar with Mooch to mentor her. Her temperament blends well with his and more importantly with President Trump and the American people. Sarah is a mom and the look on her face when the media attacks is priceless. American men feel protective of her and American women are proud of the way she stands up to to onslaught
I think they will do a fabulous job.
They think they can kiss his a$$ and get favorable treatment
"extreme"
"not a conservative"
"a man who seems to be offending his way to the nomination"
"has literally bulldozed over the little guy to get his way."
Scaramucci has similar excuse, having worked for Trump opponents, and as Scaramucci noted this morning, one of his attacks appears to have been "hitting back" at Trump, who was slamming investment bankers, of which Scaramucci was one.
Well... I would say they are both political opportunists, without much attachment to the agenda that Trump ran on, i.e..... not true believers.
Look folks, the real, true news of this day is the following, the Democrat Party is dying, killed by its own self-inflicted wounds (Obama & Clinton have vanished to the local, if not foreign cesspool habitat). The Democrat Party...it has no cash. The Media is the laughing stock of the country, with now, “zero” creditability and, Special Council, Robert Mueller is killing whatever respect and creditability he ever had. Game over...end of story!!!
And...to boot, Mr. Scaramucci wiped out Jake Tapper & Chris Wallace in one fell swoop, without even breaking a sweat!!!
Did the Mooch get the best out of that Weasel Chrissy Wallace?
From the posting of a lot of his prior social media, it appears that Scarr is either a lier or a flip flopper. In the not too distant future, Trump is going to regret this appointment.
“Anthony Scaramucci made a positive impression with the media in his first press conference”
That worries me.
He was working for Scott Walker at the time.....Scott Walker!!!
When is “Bring you kid to Work Day”?? Sarah should bring her kid/kids into the Press Room so they can watch the JACKALS try to DESTROY their Mother!!
