Sean Spicer objected vehemently to this appointment and when overruled, he abruptly resigned!
anthony scaramucci, a wall street hedge fund manager, has been hired to be the head of the white house communications director despite having no experience in this field. Also, scaramucci was the fox business host who JUST took a position at an export-import bank on june 27, 2017. will he retain this position now?
scaramucci has stated in his book that his motto is “fake it til you make it” which fits right in with trump. scaramucci is a big fan of fox news. he was called by the president at 5:30 a.m. where he was offered the job despite major pushbak by spicer, preibus and bannon. spicer told people that he would not work with scaramucci because he did not know the job nor did he have the qualifications and spicer said he would resign rather than work with him. spicer did just that this morning.
bannon and preibus have also been fighting to stop scaramucci’s hiring. trump told scaramucci that he was getting pushback, but hold on and it would work.
msnbc is now reporting that this is the fox news whitehouse, scaramucci, sekalu?, and other fox people who are being brought into the white house to spread trump’s message.
recently, spicer has been acting as both communications dorector and white house spokesman. despite the insults, spicer has stayed and dutifully lied for his master but this move seemed to be the last straw.
now questions are being raised over reince preibus and his future. scaramucci is being pushed by the darlings of daddy — ivanka and jared — so preibus seems to also be in jeopardy.
From the New York Times,
WASHINGTON — Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, resigned on Friday morning, telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with the appointment of the New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.
Mr. Trump offered Mr. Scaramucci the job at 10 a.m. The president requested that Mr. Spicer stay on, but Mr. Spicer told Mr. Trump that he believed the appointment was a major mistake, according to a person with direct knowledge of the exchange.
reports from within the white house say the tension is palpable… things are very volatile as trump is angry that the russia investigation is continuing and no one has stopped it.
this appears to be a white house imploding… what will be nexr? will preibus be chased off, leaving only the trump family trapped with bannon and his manipulators — people he doesn’t trust!
who DOES trump trust? after donnie jr’s massive screwup dragging in his protege, jared, who then draws in his daughter, who can trump turn to.
my fear is that it will be bannon, the bloated svengali in the shadows.
i think we have much to worry about...this is the meltdown. has it reached the critical core yet.
more info: spicer felt the communucations dept was finally moving iin the right and effective direction for the trump agenda… spicer felt that he could not continue with the addition of the inexperienced scaramucci. as a result, reince preibus is now left hanging alone without any ally in the white house.
