With all the backlash against White House communication’s director Anthony Scaramucci’s profanity-laced rant to the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza on Wednesday night, there is one person who doesn’t seem to have a problem with it – President Donald Trump.
And, as Axios reports, not only did Trump not have a problem with the language, he actually “loved” it.
The only problem that Trump may have with his new communications director is that Scaramucci’s Trump-like speaking style and unique charisma may actually be upstaging the President’s own brand of unfiltered speech and his in-your-face persona.
Trump “loved the Mooch quotes,” Axios reported. “But President Trump doesn’t like being upstaged. ‘Mini-me’ can’t forget the ‘Mini’ part. Being more Trump than Trump, in Trump’s house, is a dangerous game.”
Scaramucci made some inflammatory comments about fellow White House insiders during an interview that he neglected to request be off-the-record.
“Reince is a f–king paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said to Ryan Lizza
Then he turned his attention to Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon.
“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own c- -k,” he said. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the f- -king strength of the president. I’m here to serve the country.”
The interview drew immediate criticism, for obvious reasons, with pundits slamming the “degredation of the presidency” as a result of Scaramucci’s rant. But it would appear as though Scaramucci has the support of the only opinion that really matters.
