Anthony Scaramucci Boldly Declares, ‘Trump Himself Is Not MAGA’

Anthony Scaramucci claimed that President Donald Trump is not dedicated to the Make America Great Again message.

Scaramucci joined MSNBC Nicolle Wallace for a discussion regarding the public feuds occurring in Trump’s inner circle, including between Steve Bannon and billionaire Elon Musk. The former Trump White House adviser has attacked Musk in recent weeks over his stance on H-1b visas.

During the discussion, Scaramucci said that Trump is siding with billionaires in his orbit rather than diehard MAGA supporters like Bannon because he enjoys the “aesthetics” of their subservience to him.

WALLACE: It is clearly not all rainbows and unicorns and chocolate fondue in MAGA world. What’s going on?

SCARAMUCCI: Well, there’s a fight for the core of MAGA. And the really interesting part about it is Trump himself is not MAGA. Just take a look at what he did. He’s got the billionaires lined up right behind his family. The people that are in his government that supposedly represent MAGA were behind them. And trust me, I know him. He’s a very detail-oriented guy that way in terms of aesthetics. That was done by design because he wants to show those people, those billionaires, if you will, as supplicants to him. He’s calling into the World Economic Forum. You know, Steve Bannon hates the World Economic Forum. And so Trump definitionally sort of it’s weirdly not MAGA. Elon Musk is obviously not MAGA. Perhaps Steve Bannon is.

And so there’s a war going on there. But again, Trump doesn’t care about that stuff because he’s won the election. And so the ensuing politics is not that big of a deal. Then people would push back on me and say, no, what the congressional midterms. Does anybody here think that he cares about what happens in the congressional midterms? And I can tell you right now, he marginally does, but not really, because everything is about him. So look at it through the following prism. Am I getting a lot of attention or am I making a lot of money? And that’s that’s Donald Trump. And the way to beat him is to get to the normal people that are currently apathetic about the situation and bring them into the swimming pool with us.
