I saw this coming. There is no way his vulgar rant was not planned. His goal was to get his name known and get his deal with the Chinese. I predicted that it was a setup so Trump would fire him and Trump could actually look sane and a bit more controlled in comparison to Scaramucci.
What I didn't know but now makes sense is that Trump was going to replace Priebus with Kelly, so now his firing and the statement that "Kelly is in total charge" again makes Trump look good in comparison to the worse things he has been doing.

Well, he was a communications director, if only for 11 days. It'll be interesting to see how he spins this.

I believe he may be well and truly fucked on taxes, having sold a share of his holdings in SkyBridge to a Chinese company. Hmm. . . Chinese company. I recall reading that it has ties to the Chinese government. Well, the Mueller investigation will go wherever the evidence takes it. I think this may take it to Scaramucci and China. Time to lawyer up?

Does anyone else get the feeling that if you want to talk to Mueller's team you have to take a number, like at the deli section of the supermarket?
