Trump spin doctor Scaramucci hasn’t got Mooch to offer
Scaramucci, Scaramucci … Trump’s communications director at the White House, July 22:
I love the President …
Couldn’t do the fandango. The Wall Street Journal, yesterday:
Scaramucci was removed from the communications director post on Monday …
Trump’s general strikes like lightning. The Wall Street Journal, a few hours before:
Retired Marine Corps General John Kelly took charge of the Trump White House Monday morning …
Very, very frightening. The Wall Street Journal’s Scaramucci story, yesterday:
Mr Kelly urged Mr Scaramucci to resign shortly after being sworn in …
Mashable writer Chris Taylor on Twitter, yesterday:
… Scaramucci lasted for exactly 2400 plays of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Did “The Mooch” deserve this? Anthony Scaramucci in The New Yorker, July 27:
Reince (Priebus) is a f..king paranoid schizophrenic …
That’s pretty bad but … Scaramucci in The New Yorker, continued:
I’m not (WH chief strategist) Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own …
Whoa there, cowboy. Time out. Scaramucci on Twitter, July 23:
Full transparency: I’m deleting old tweets. Past views evolved & shouldn’t be a distraction. I serve @POTUS agenda …
Will he go back to his old views now Trump has dumped him? Scaramucci on Twitter, April 16, 2012:
… I hope she (Hillary Clinton) runs, she is incredibly competent.
The Mooch originally got the White House gig because of first daughter Ivanka Trump. Politico, July 30:
President Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law (Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner) had been double-teaming for weeks to persuade him to oust chief of staff Reince Priebus … That victory followed Trump’s appointment a week earlier of financier Anthony Scaramucci … a move the couple also strongly supported.
Alas, he was too good at his job. The Washington Post reporter Philip Ruckeron Twitter, yesterday:
Scaramucci was an effective tool for some inside White House to get Reince fired, but appears to have worn out his use.
Sad! Trump on Twitter, yesterday:
Great day at the White House!
Back in Australia, a failed Islamist plot continues to dominate headlines. The Australian, yesterday:
Police are understood to be investigating links between the four men arrested in Sydney over an alleged plot to bring down a passenger plane and senior Australian Islamic State fighters.
But not everyone is worried about terrorists … Lawyer Julian Burnside on Twitter, yesterday:
It’s the tragedy of our age that gov’ts can still win praise & support by frightening us & then promising protection. (Leading Nazi Hermann) Goering did the same.
News Corps Australia columnist David Penberthy responds perfectly on Twitter, yesterday:
No he didn’t. Goering was party to the genocide of 6 million Jews whereas we arrested some arseholes who wanted to kill civilians on a plane
