Donald Trump in sights of Anthony Scaramucci, who vows to make him one-term president
Itās one of the greatest political fallouts ever. Period.
Anthony Scaramucci served for just 11 days as White House communications director before beingĀ sacked for his derogatory commentsĀ about some of Donald Trumpās inner circle.
Now āThe Moochā is fundraising against his former boss, who he wants to make a one-term president.
He told the ABC the most powerful man in the world was an āorange fat blobā with the āself-esteem of a pigeonā and warned Australia it would be difficult to maintain its current close relationship with the White House.
He said theĀ Presidentās insistence Hurricane Dorian was heading for AlabamaĀ (despite the words of his own scientists) was proof of a frail ego.
āAgain, itās his inability to ever be wrong about anything or ever to apologise for anything, It basically has to do with very low self-esteem,ā he said.
I mean the poor guy has the self-esteem of a small pigeon.
Mr Scaramucci says he is worried about the global standing of the US after the Presidentās announcement he had cancelledĀ secret peace talks with the TalibanĀ at Camp David.
āI think thereās a lot of people in the United States who are upset that heās negotiating with the Taliban at Camp David because of their involvement and being accessories to the 9/11 disaster,ā Mr Scaramucci said.
āIām not one of them, even though there were 40 people from my hometown and two close friends, one of whom I eulogised [who died]. Iām not one of them.
āIāve been to Afghanistan. But what I find disgusting about the President is the way he releases this information, and the way he has lost all global credibility.ā
Trump āintimidatedā by āgood-lookingā Trudeau
Unlike other world leaders, Australiaās Prime MinisterĀ Scott Morrison has enjoyed remarkable access to the White House, which is hosting just its second state dinner in his honour.
In a city that is becoming famous for political dramas and fallouts, maintaining that relationship wonāt be easy, according to Mr Scaramucci.
I would tell him [Mr Morrison] to follow the Justin Trudeau model. President Trump is very intimidated by Justin Trudeau because heās a good looking, smart kid and President Trump is like this orange fat blob,ā he said.
āAnd so heās very intimidated by the way the guy looks. And Justin Trudeau has been very, very smart at keeping his distance from President Trump.
āRemember, heās such a malignant narcissist that he needs the spotlight at all times.ā
With some signs of trouble ahead for the global economy, and even considering Australiaās record run without a recession, Mr Scaramucci said there was reason to be concerned by the ongoing trade war with China.
āHe completely botched the trade war, we went to him early on. Remember, I was on the transition team,ā he said.
āWe told him [to] graduate the tariffs. If you want to use the tariffs, graduate them. Go 2 per cent a quarter and then youāll give every business leader in the country large and small opportunity to adjust their supply chain.
āAnd so for me and business leaders, thatās been very disruptive.
āIf you look at capital spending in the US, itās down considerably in the last couple of quarters, and itās likely to be down in the third quarter and this is all a result of the Trump nonsense.ā
The White House did not respond to requests for comment, but in the past has made it clear the ill-feeling is mutual.
Mr Trump has called Mr Scaramucci an āunstable nut jobā whose 11 days as director of communications were marked by gross incompetence.
Mr Scaramucci said he turned on his former boss because as a businessman he is constantly evaluating scenarios and would rather be called a traitor then support what he sees as racism.
In his case, it was theĀ President telling four congresswomen of colour to go back where they came from.
āHe is tearing at the racial and social fabric of society and so whatever good is happening on the policy side, and many of those business policies I agree with, youāre tearing and youāre ripping apart the social fabric of the society,ā he said.
āThe United States can survive a recession. Australia, apparently you guys donāt have them anymore.
āBut weāve had 12 of them since 1901 and weāve survived everyone of them.
āThatās sort of like a bone break, but a tearing or a destroying of the fabric of the American experiment, thatās a metastatic cancer.ā
