With Trumps Green Light, Scaramucci Declares Total War on Reince Priebus

[brooklynite]

Source: Daily Beast

President Donald Trump has not only blessed efforts by his new communications director Anthony Scaramucci to wage a battle against chief of staff Reince Priebus, he’s actively egging on the very public and painful feud.

White House officials and outside allies say the president is revelling in Scaramucci’s campaign against Priebus—undertaken through cable news appearances and a billow of tweets, some of which were subsequently deleted—and is thrilled to see a top staffer placing a publicly bombastic emphasis on White House leaks to the press, which consistently infuriate the president.

“The president specifically gave (Scaramucci) the green light to go after Reince”—on-air if necessary—one White House adviser told The Daily Beast, citing conversations with President Trump. Scaramucci himself claimed that he had secured Trump’s “blessing” for his words and actions in a phone call with the president prior to a Thursday morning CNN interview.

The “president is not concerned with Reince’s feelings,” the source added. However, Trump has no interest in personally firing Priebus at this time, preferring to delegate abuse of his own chief of staff—who Trump has been frustrated with for months—to his new comms czar nicknamed “The Mooch.”

1. A. I've said for a while Rense is the RNC's inside guy. B. Why???

Why "go after" someone on your staff? If you don't like him, fire him. I know that this is what Trump likes to do - pit people against themselves either for his entertainment or to test them but seriously WHY?

[Alice11111]

8. "Pit people against themselves for his entertainment,"

Exactly. This is what he did on the Apprentice, where he was in his element, with his fake power...not that I watched it. I didn't.

He is creating a Roman Circus for his own amusement.
Sadistic, sick, demented, little fat man.

[PatSeg]

23. Oh okay

I can see that. It does seem like a really cheesy reality TV show. Totally insane for the White House though. God, these people have to go!

[Adsos Letter]

9. Distraction from other things going on would be my guess.

I think the Sessions feud is of the same nature.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

21. I used to Work for a paranoid prick who liked to have everybody at each other's throats.

I guess he figured nobody would be able to steal from him if everybody was ratting on each other.

[kimbutgar]

40. Ditto

I worked for a company where we all got along and they brought in this prick who pitted us against each other. I quit after 4 months because people I worked with for 5 years suddenly treated me as pariah because I didn't kiss the new bosses ass nor was I willing to blow him.

[Mc Mike]

35. Agreed. dRumpf is getting rid of the 'mainstream' gop party's dRump minders.

[TeapotInATempest]

2. I don't understand Trump, honestly

I know he's a coward, but why not just fire Priebus?

[pangaia]

6. because he enjoys torturing things and watching..

[TeapotInATempest]

7. Yeah, I suppose it makes him feel powerful or something

He's a sociopath.

[Me.]

17. Or...Why Doesn't Priebus Man Up & Quit?

[TeapotInATempest]

19. I don't get that either

He can't be that poor. Who puts up with that kind of abuse if they don't have to?

Seriously, do these two have kompromat on each other and it would be mutually assured destruction if they parted ways?

[Alice11111]

24. Yeah, salvage some dignity

[Maeve]

31. Oh, he hasn't had any of that for years!!! eom

[Javaman]

3. juvenile morons. nt

[VaBchTgerLily]

4. Another one bites the dust! That orange ape destroys everyone he gets near

He intends to totally debase and demoralize Priebus publicly before getting rid of him

[Bleacher Creature]

5. As much as I love watching them tear each other apart, it's also a bit terrifying.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not sure the system was designed to weather this much chaos.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. The system will be just fine.

As soon as Trump quits or is impeached and convicted, Prez Pence will restore order and harmony to the White House. The place will run as efficiently and openly as a Swiss bank.

And we will be the worse for it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

32. Not so fast. It's likely that the venerable Mr. RICO will be making a call on Pence.

And if that doesn't preen your feathers, Mr. RICO will also be making a call on Mr. Paul Ryan.

[Alice11111]

14. No, it is broken. It was never contemplated that such

truly sociopathic, mean people would be in charge. It was Never contemplated that the EC would hand power to a villian against the will of the people. Also, it was never comtemplated.that because of gerrymandering, cheating of all sorts, and greed, that villians without consciences, would sadistically use their power and dominate all branches of government.

[marylandblue]

10. Preibus and sessions need to form a support group for

people who Trump wants to fire but doesn't have the balls to.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

11. Trump running a human cock fight

For his insane pleasure smh

[Alice11111]

16. !!!

[dawnie51]

12. I have zero sympathy...

for any of these creatures. Boo hoo. You signed up to work with a traitorous psychopath to wreak havoc on this democracy and to benefit your wallets. Now that psychopath is turning on you, one by one, and trying to choke the life out of you, day by day. What did you expect? Respect, consideration, loyalty? He can't stand the right of any of you! Were he not sitting on the second floor of the WH, he wouldn't allow you within 100 yards of his royal personage. He thinks you're stupid, and a handy tool to use until he had no further use for you. Boo hoo.

[DBoon]

30. They joined a political party devoted to sociopathy

We are seeing the result of the "I got mine who cares about you" ethics

Anyone involved in the Republican party is complicit and deserves their fate.

[JDC]

15. I love how all the Trumpanzees suggest we need to give him time

Because he's new to this, but don't connect the dots that *45 himself gives no one a chance. And they're fine with it.

Don't get me wrong I think they all need to go, and all these shake ups and this turmoil makes it all the more clear.....if that's possible.

[bora13]

18. The mooch likes what he sees

over here.

[msongs]

20. people put up with abuse they think they deserve. when abuse crosses that line they walk nt

[tinrobot]

22. The more they fight amongst themselves, the fewer things get done.

Keep fighting... it's good for the country.

[Girard442]

27. Yeah, "Lord of the Flies" may the the least bad scenario.

Very bad, but everything else is worse.

[xor]

25. What the... This is all so bizarre

This entire administration should make for some interesting material in movies and TV shows at some point. Assuming we get out of this mess without having everything collapse.

[UCmeNdc]

26. Trump is destroying the United States.

He is like a big kid.

[Leghorn21]

28. "the very public and painful feud." Painful for whom, exactly? nt

[Solly Mack]

29. No surprise. Make someone so miserable they quit.

If they quit, great. If they don't quit, he still gets the thrill of making their life miserable.

With the added bonus of getting to blame Scaramucci for it. Wasn't me, he did it.

Trump sits back and takes pleasure in his staff fighting it out over him - to his thinking, they are proving who is the most loyal to him by attacking each other.

Had Scaramucci been of the mind to not enjoy attacking people and opted to not go after Priebus, Trump would have turned on Scaramucci.

Everyone in a relationship with Trump, regardless of what kind, is in an abusive relationship.

[Gothmog]

33. This is stupid even for Trump

Declaring war on a member of his administration is stupid

[politicat]

36. Fuck it. Cage match. Two enter the thunderdome. One shall leave.

Let's put it on Pay Per View and Fathom Big Screen events. I bet we can pay for a year of Medicare For All if we do a 45 Administration Tourney. What else we got going on in August?

[PJMcK]

37. Didn't Trump tell us how well his administration is operating?

Didn't he say that the White House was running like a finely tuned machine?

[Marcuse]

38. It Seems Michelle's Veggie Garden Has Been Transitioned Into A Rifle Range

[randr]

39. He sics a junk yard dog on people who he is afraid to fire

the lsos is just your average coward.
