So he sold his hedgefund to be available for the job, his wife divorced him over his new job and now he was fired after a week or so in the office? Loser.

A loser with a lot of money. Unless he also did something illegal and that was the reason for the firing

He crossed Bannon. You don't cross Bannon without some ammo or being married to a trump daughter.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I reckon it was Kelly bringing him to heel and Bannon just joined in sticking the knife in.

Mooch ran a "I'm the only one you can trust, everyone else sucks" play in an obvious and incompetent way so everyone else joined together to stick in the knives.

... if I were to guess.

QuoteTen days after beginning as White House communications director, the epochal reign of former hedge-fund boss and foul-mouthed New Yorker Anthony Scaramucci is over, the New York Times reports.

Scaramucci's firing is the first major move by new White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, the former general who was tasked with implementing order in the chaotic West Wing. The Times said Kelly wanted Scaramucci gone and "made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge." Politico confirms that it was Kelly who ultimately ousted Scaramucci, whose brief tenure in the White House led to the departures of former press secretary Sean Spicer and former chief of staff Reince Priebus.

The decision is not too surprising. Though Kelly has reportedly been given "full authority" over the White House staff, Scaramucci continued to insist that he reported directly to President Trump. Not anymore.

QuoteAnd during a meeting with Cabinet officials Monday morning, Trump told reporters that "we'll handle North Korea. We'll be able to handle North Korea. It will be handled. We handle everything."

Well, I certainly feel better now.

He didn't even qualify for the set of steak knives.

Don't worry, you're too far away for the nukes. out there all you have to worry about is a new round of race riots.

Great, thanks for putting the image in my head of Trump rubbing his hands all over Kim Jong Un, cheesy gay porno style. :bleeding:

He will just wail and moan that Xi Jinping doesn't do anything.

North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!

So Scaramucci gets Priebus fired, and then Priebus' successor gets him fired? It's like House of Cards but where all the characters are imbeciles.

Will the military refuse to fire nukes on NK or China or Qatar in Trump's attempt to divert attention from the trainwreck that's his royal court, or we are all fucked?
