Touched A Nerve? Trump Flips Out After Anthony Scaramucci Delivers Warning On Fox News

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/anthony-scaramucci-donald-trump-steve-hilton_n_5f30cda7c5b6e96a22b47bff


Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who was fired by President Donald Trump after just 10 days on the job in 2017, delivered a warning to Republicans on Fox News on Sunday night. And Trump was not happy about it, kicking off a Twitter feud between the two ex-allies.

The fireworks began when Scaramucci appeared on Steve Hilton’s show “The Next Revolution” to rip into Trump’s presidency for an “upside-down” economy and politicizing the coronavirus pandemic.

Then, he warned that the Republican Party under Trump was shrinking its own base ― and that would have repercussions for years to come.

“The current demographic base of the Republican Party under President Trump’s control will become a minority party for a generation if we don’t broaden that tent and start including people that don’t look like you and me,” Scaramucci said.

-snip-




Trump's tweet in response:





.@Scaramucc, who just made a fool of himself as he got taken apart by @SteveHiltonx, only lasted 11 days in his favorite of all time Administration, before being fired for, again, making a fool of himself. Anthony is a loser who begged to come back. I said “No Thanks”.





Scaramucci's reply:





The Loser is you: 162,000 dead, 40 million American jobs lost on your watch. We are tired of all of the losing. We wanted you to succeed but you are an abject failure. Thankfully it will be over on 11/3. America will heal and rebuild.

They are ok with them being in their party as long as they are token sideshows or just help their shitty agenda. But not with anything that would help all people.

I have a hard time thanking scum bags like him for pushing back, but we do need Trump to leave office and in a coffin is just fine with me.
And we need more raw honesty from the horrible right also.

I was totally blown away when I caught him a few weeks ago. I thought his brain was scrambled eggs, but I was very wrong.

I place Scaramucci and Steve Schmidt in the same "The enemy of my enemy is my friend....until they aren't" category

Note the "K" dangling from the chain because Trump is a bad speller. By the way, "covfefe" is Italian for "rosebud".

Every time, I see something I missed. In this scene, I love the shaking as he's starting to pack as the rage builds, the struggle with the seemingly dainty shelves, getting his foot caught in the cord, the backwards "K" that says things aren't turning out like you planned -- a ballet of frustration. And the walk past the mirrors that says "This is who you are. This is who you are...."

Makes the movie timeless for you because there's always something fresh about it. And, a movie that can do that is one that was well written, directed and produced. Needless to say, many movies don't reach that level.

America has a GENOCIDE fake so called "pres".We have got to get this Murderer-in-Chief OUT! He's killing us (for Putin?). He doesn't care about bounties on our troops, so he certainly wouldn't care if there were bounties for dead Americans!

mooch was comm director for only what seemed like hours. He flamed out even before he started the job, and was replaced almost immediately.

Why do they keep referring to him as though he was a permanent fixture?

The sooner they're totally marginalized as the angry old white male party, the better, their badges of dishonor will be neck beards and tiki torches as they strut around during a pandemic, pissing us off because their idea of freedumb is spreading a deadly virus to other people, especially old people and kids. And we know that there will be a lot of infighting, every one of those guys wanting his own dunghill to stand on, so the sooner that rotten party gives its last bellow on the way to the elephant graveyard, the better.

It's not even a political party any more, hasn't been for a long time. It's a nakedly corrupt racket, run entirely for the benefit of a plutocracy. It needs to do the decent thing and die as soon as possible.
