The brief tenure of Anthony Scaramucci as the White House Communications director was brought to an abrupt end when the White House announced that the Mooch has resigned. It was interesting to see the theories in both the left and the right on my he was resigned or asked to resign. The Fox News discussed it and concluded Anthony will still have the President’s number and will play a role somehow in politics. That was particularly surprising considering he was a vociferous opponent of Trump’s view during the general elections and campaigned for Hillary Clinton. Further, Scaramucci has claimed to be for gun-control, for immigration and against the Muslim ban. So, how did this Wall Street sympathiser get picked in the first place?
If one looks at the Scaramucci’s public statements over the years, it is extremely easy to see the drastic similarities between him and Donald Trump. He changes his opinion quickly, disregards facts, has nil knowledge of government, keep cribbing about businesses not making enough money, flips positions on key issues, creates conspiracies, is loud mouthed, uses foul language to push his message and above all has no principles what so ever. He is not for Trump from Wall Street, he is another Trump in Wall Street.
People who have seen Donald Trump would know that he is attracted to conspiracy theorists and folks who disregard facts. The problem now is he found a person who takes screen time and limelight from him. Most of you who have seen the James Comey introduction after Donald Trump became the President. Trump said, “here is the guy who is almost as famous as me”. That is the attitude the President has on being famous. He wants to be in the news and the only person in the news. It is not acceptable for him to have someone just as bombastic in his White House. So, it is not a decision made on policy grounds or the White House regulation by the new Chief of Staff, it is a decision taken by Trump to quench his fear of sharing the limelight.
