Anthony Scaramucci Once Said It’s ‘Counterproductive’ to ‘Fight Globalization’

Breitbart:

[…] According to the Washington Examiner, “Scaramucci has donated to every single Democratic presidential nominee since 2000. More than generous, according to FEC filings, he gave Vice President Gore $1,000 and Kerry $3,000; He gave Sen. Hilary Clinton, $4,300 and President Obama, $4,600.”

But since supporting Trump in the general election, Scaramucci, unlike other anti-Trump Republicans who became full-throated “Never Trumpers,” has fiercely defended Trump. Scaramucci said on Friday that Trump frequently reminds him of his past remarks.

Joshua Green, the author of Devil’s Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency, told MSNBC’s Katy Tur on Friday that Scaramucci is a “globalist” who has morphed into a “Trumpist.”  MORE

 

SNIP: I know Mooch isn’t writing policies or anything, and people have said he’s pro-Trump, but he already works my nerves and
I need convincing.

  2. And Paul was a tax collector.

    All Scaramucci did he did BEFORE there was Trump.

    In his 35 minute press conference yesterday Scaramucci full throatedly supported Trump, spoke of how his conversations with real Americans are evidence of how supported Trump is by the people and said no less than 6 times that he LOVES President Trump. No equivocations.

    How many times has Spicer, Priebus, Sessions or any other “Trump” supporter in government said the same in 6 months? For every positive a “supporter” says about Trump they add a “but” – “but I wish he would stop tweeting” “but I wish he wouldn’t go off script in his speeches”, “but I wish he wouldn’t call the media that’s lying about him fake news.”

    You didn’t hear Scaramucci apologize for Trump once. Not once.

    We need and expect more of this kind of full throated and repeated support from President Trump from those around him and I think we’ll get it.

    President Trump gave the establishment 6 months of trying it their way and all it got him was a 360 degree fight with only the voters watching his back. The gloves are now off.

    By the way, did you notice it was 6 months to the day from his inauguration?

  4. Remember, Judas ‘loved’ Jesus too.

    Remember, Hillary was a ‘Goldwater Girl’ too.

    Scaramucci is a political opportunist just like the two whom I’ve mentioned above.

  5. Don’t forget Trump’s been a Dem. (So have I.) There are many who donate to both parties.

    That being said, I share your trepidation, but I don’t trust ANYONE in DC.

    You live, you learn. We’ll see.

  6. Several Conservative sites raised concerns yesterday. His history is bothersome. Gives me reason to be concerned. Is he a plant? A mole? Trustworthy? What’s he going to do when the chips are down? What’s he going to do when he thinks no one is looking? Will he sell out for 30 pieces of silver?

  10. “Keep your friends close; and your enemies closer.”

    I don’t know where President Trump found this annoying schmuck, but, knowing that he’s a lawyer, one knows that he’s a whore, who will do, or say, anything for the right price – and may do, or say, it well enough to make the price worthwhile.

    President Trump’s no fool – he seems to size people up pretty well. Let’s hope he’s right about this schmuck.

    izlamo delenda est …

  13. Okay. And it seems all the dyed-in-the-wool conservative R’s around him are either milquetoasts (as Page O Turner correctly points out) or they’re Bruti in the woodpile just waiting for his foot to slip, or they’re openly in support of Ryan’s “Better Way” parallel presidency. You wanna talk about duplicity and “piece(s) of sh*t”?

    I’ll admit I was at first worried and doubtful of the shakeup in the WH comm area because I really championed Spicer. He’s a great guy. But what he lacked was an instinct for negotiation. The lapdog media had driven him into a corner and for all his affability, they were able to put him on defense all the time; not a position from which to drive the President’s message. If Spicer had been able to pour some oil on the waters — keep the idiots in the WH press corpse mollified — it would have been easier for him to drive the message. I think this is the area Scaramucci excels. Watching him yesterday, he cajoled and flattered that pack of hyenas, and played them like a maestro.

    During the campaign Trump said many times, “I know a lot of people who are great negotiators — they’re awful people — you wouldn’t want to have dinner with them. But who cares about that, right? So long as they get the job done.”

    As soon as people can wrap their heads around the fact that the most successful people in the world of business are those who keep their eyes on the ball and play their strengths, they’ll have a better understanding of Trump, the people he picks and why the Holy Writ of Party and Ideology is really only important to politicians.

    (The Breitbart site has been a pretty sketchy site for several months, anyway, on their opinions of Trump.)

  14. To me, it seems disingenuous and counterproductive for President Trump to complain about Mueller selecting Dem donors on the Special Investigator team then turn around and select a Dem donor as a main spokesman.

  16. I’m sick of the litmus tests.

    F*CK the a$$h*les who said “Cuccinelli wasn’t a real conservative” in Virginia…only giving us all McAuliffe, who almost threw the election to Hillary (and WOULD have, with any other candidate). Same old sh!t litmus tests which brought “conservatism” so far…right?!?

    Trump is different. If Trump picked this guy (anyone know? I haven’t been following this), I’m fine for now. Outsider.

    The rest of you Know-It-All-ers can kiss my butt.

  19. @CZAR: The job is MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR. Press Sec (Sarah Huckabee Sanders) reports to him.

    Scaramucci is in charge of laying out the PRESIDENT’S message and making certain it’s delivered properly – some we haven’t seen in 6 months.

    He’s also in charge of laying out a quick response to the fake news and getting that message is delivered consistently.

    I’m with you a on the “conservative” label. Conservatives gave us bigger government, the patriot act which took away our privacy guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and exported our jobs and wealth.

    I’ve had enough of conservatives. Give me patriotic national pragmatists.

  21. TO Page

    Thanks for clarification on the title. So, he’s still a “mouthpiece,” engaged to articulate – NOT develop – policy.

    All this “digging up his past dirt” is STUPID.
    Let’s see how he performs…THEN it’s sink or swim.

  26. You all make good points. I’m even more confused now. haha. No, seriously, the work my nerves part was about all his ‘never Trump, squishy immigration’ stuff last year. I am willing to give Mooch a chance though, because I had a couple of vicious nevertrumper friends who are now thinking, “Yeah, okay, Trump’s not THAT bad”. So maybe this guy is the same. If he isn’t, Trump has the option of Mangonelling his ass into the southern border.

  27. I’m sure Spicer is a nice guy. Which is the problem. Sarah Huckabee, etc,. seems to be vicious and that’s what we need. And at first, I gave her the side-eye too because, Huckabee! lol

  30. So long as President Trump is still “the Boss” and it’s his message being delivered, why not take advantage of other’s talents? If he steps out of line, send him packing.

  32. MJA — I think it’s much harder for people who were initially against Trump. Geoff C. and I, for example, were all in from almost the beginning and we are good examples of Trump’s Trumpster diehards who will stick with him and his decisions through thick and thin. Not because we’re blindly loyal but because he’s the only real outsider and he needs our support. He’s the President and even if we wished we had another option (we don’t), we don’t have one. I cannot fathom the criticism directed at him by R voters. It makes as much sense as booing your own team on the field. I can’t imagine how demoralizing that would be for the team and the other fans. Maybe a weak analogy, but I hope you know what I mean.
