"SNIP.............

President Trump was reportedly unhappy with former chief of staff Reince Priebus for not “returning fire” at White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci following an explosive interview with the New Yorker this week.

An adviser to Trump told The Wall Street Journal that was Trump was “dismissive” of Priebus for not firing back at Scaramucci. Scaramucci unloaded on Priebus in the interview with New Yorker writer Ryan Lizza, calling the then-chief of staff a “f——— paranoid schizophrenic" and a "paranoiac."

“They’ll all be fired by me,” he said of the White House communications staff. “I fired one guy the other day. I have three to four people I’ll fire tomorrow. I’ll get to the person who leaked that to you. Reince Priebus — if you want to leak something — he’ll be asked to resign very shortly.”

Earlier on Thursday, Scaramucci insinuated that Priebus was behind the “leak” of his personal financial disclosure forms. A reporter said the forms were publicly available.

For the next 30 years.

[gratuitous]

2. I'm starting to think that if Trump wasn't born wealthy

He'd be promoting bum fight videos on late night TV.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Nope, Sorry

He'd have a paper bag to collect empty beer cans for the recycling pennies

[Flaleftist]

7. I was thinknig carny attraction.

Step right up ladies and gentlemen and for 25 cents get a look at the half-man/half-pig with tiny hands.

4. What A Ridiculous Management Style

I understand Trump wanted to keep the distraction and this story out there to divert, but it's not Presidential. But then nothing T does is.

5. Yeah!

This from someone who pits people against each other in cock fight? Wait, Bannon and Trump's family are next to turn on each other?

[Takket]

6. so we'll have gladiators fighting each other in the rose garden to the death

[imanamerican63]

9. I rather say cock fighting!

They are all chickens and won't stand up to the biggest chicken of them all!

[0rganism]

8. "i fired him because he showed a modicum of mature restraint"

"and i think by now we all know such adult behavior is completely unacceptable around here. i mean, what was he trying to do, one-up us all?"

10. What is this, Jersey Shore? The Real World: White House Edition?

WTF?!

Heads should be exploding. This is the seat of our executive branch behaving like a bunch of inebriated frat brothers!

How much more of this adolescent behavior can we take?

[tinrobot]

11. So... this ends when only one "apprentice" remains?

He has no clue how to lead a government. All he knows is ratings.

[onetexan]

12. This mad man is clearly sick

He enjoys pitting people against each other & end up fighting. This is not leadership. It's thuggery.

[NastyRiffraff]

13. This is worse than The Apprentice (which was terrible).

Who ever thought we'd see the Jerry Springer show in the White House?
