While trying to find the actual, factual reason for the nickname, I came cross this from February...
Clearly, trump has been trying to find a good spot for this guy for months.
"A man known as “the Mooch” will play a prominent role in Donald Trump’s White House. Hedge-fund manager Anthony Scaramucci has accepted a job to serve as a top adviser to Trump and will work as an intermediary between the administration and the business community"
"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?
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.
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.
But surely it would have been better to have someone with confidence AND experience in the field. Maybe he should have tapped someone from a Bush administration? But the problem is that he probably wants someone who will parrot any lie.
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.
He is getting rid of experienced insiders and is hiring friends and family as a way of controlling the ****show he has created by colluding with the Russians. Mooch is one of many such appointments in the pipeline. Now more than ever Trump needs asskissers who will not question him ever.
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.
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.
