"The self-described “diva” is also “a total ****-stirrer,” he told New York in 2012. “My middle name could be ****-stirrer, except then my initials on my shirt would be a.s.s., and I can’t have that.” "

"The most obvious similarity between Trump and Scaramucci is that they love attention.... No wonder Trump loves him." Well, there is the obvious childish stuff, too, right?

The White House Has Thrown Out

Since when did we even care about who is the White House Communications Director? Other than to mock Trump.

I never even knew there was such a position.

According to Wikipedia these are the people who held the position for President Obama.
Ellen Moran, Anita Dunn, Dan Pfeiffer, Jennifer Palmieri, Jen Psaki.

Scare a Gucci does like a bit like a wise guy. Maybe he made Trump an offer he couldn't refuse.

Then he went on all the Sunday talk shows and admitted that Trump has discussed 'pardons' in the oval office while Trump's attorney - continued to deny same.

Perhaps they need to get their stories straight.

He is a friend of the trump kids. That is his qualification.

I hear there is this really smart kid that Barron hangs with at the playground that PTUS is eyeing to head the CIA.

Serious Republicans would not put up with the shenanigans of this president. Most would have resigned by now unless their positions were strictly clerical.

Pre$ident Trump is not interested in surrounding himself with serious Republicans anyway. He likes that brash new money style one finds more often in Manhattan.

Thunderbolt of lightning, very very frightning...


Scaramooch, scaramooch!




Honestly, I can't stand Trump, but I think that this guy is probably the best appointment he's made so far, for his own cause... I saw his first presser, and he may be a slimeball, he may be a liar, but the guy was cool under pressure, and knew how to give the appearance of showing respect to the Press while lying in their face.

If Trump's goal is to dismantle everything great about America, he's going to need slick and polished shiesters like this to get it done. I hate his agenda, but it's a good move with regards to servicing that agenda.

Sad days....

The fact that Scaramucci is already under the skin of the loony liberal left, speaks volumes that it was the right choice.

Bet Scaramucci doesn't have Communist posters hanging in his kitchen like Obama's long time press secretary.

Jay Carney's gourmet kitchen is full of Commu | The Daily Caller

If they called Scaramucci "The Scar" instead of "The Mooch" you'd all be running to your safe spaces after making up scary boogeyman stories about his nickname and maybe the Mafia.
