Ace:
Scaramucci is already known as a “ferocious” defender of Trump on cable news, so Trump figures he should get paid for it. Apparently Spicer and Priebus objected, noting that Scaramucci had no organizational or political experience.
Spicer resigned rather than be a subordinate to Scaramucci.
I get the “doesn’t have organizational or political experience” thing, but the problem is: Most people with that experience tend to be, in policy positions at least, anti-Trump, or at least coming to the job with the idea that they will subvert Trump’s agenda into a conventional insider Republican agenda.
I think Trump’s tired of such folks telling him he can’t do this or that but can only choose from Establishment Approved Options A and B.
Tony Scaramucci is known (look him up on Open Secrets) as having supported both Republican and Democrats in the past.
Today he said he LOVES his president, Trump.
I’ve watched him on financial news interviews over several years and it seems he could do a fine job of being in charge of WH communications.
I hope he plugs leaks and FIRES leakers.
I wonder when it will dawn on Pres Trump’s detractors that he (Trump) is more of a moderate (not an ideologue) who can attract good people from all sides?

@Nanny G:
Never, because all those detractors can think about is that Trump is not who they were promised. They don’t care about results, only THEIR ideology.
Trump’s smooth new comms director Scaramucci donated to Hillary and Obama – then shoveled $145,000 to Trump’s fundraising committee before getting White House job
Maybe what he has in common with his new boss is his degree of consistency?
@Greg: So, he “donates” to Obama and Hillary, but “shovels” to Trump?
Was Obama consistent about gay marriage? How about supporting the war in Afghanistan? He wasn’t very consistent about a health care plan where you could keep your own insurance or doctor, was he?
Already, Trump is ten times the success Obama was after 8 years of disaster and failure (now, that is not the resounding endorsement of Trump it sounds like, since it is compared to the worst President in history). You leftists are facing the greatest embarrassment in history as Trump proves to be a true leader. Your only weapons are lying accusations and illegal and dangerous intelligence leaks. Pretty disgusting.
Scaramucci–aka The Mooch an interesting guy. Graduated from same high school as I did in Port Washington L.I.—20 years later. Tufts then Harvard Law-probably with BHO.–53 never married.
Lib on social issues—pro gay rights–pro gun control–registered Repub who supported Scot Walker then Jeb Bush–then DT.
MUCH sharper than Spizer–a good pick. Trump’s 3rd or 4th Goldman Sachs guy.
WHAT? Surely this has got to be a bogus story. It just appeared, and hasn’t even registered yet on Google News.
Donald Trump’s communications director Anthony Scaramucci resigns just days after sweary rant
@Greg: Looks like its true Gen Kelly will not tolerate this type of person. There is always a silver lining, Reince Priebus who did not back many conservatives while GOP head is gone and a Marine in his place.
Per ABC and CBS.
@kitt: The Mooch “escorted” off White House grounds—Ras has DT AT 39% no bottom in sight.
Marines have landed but can they save Trump?–his own worst enemy.
How bout throwback U-2 “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”
