WASHINGTON — President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff.

Mr. Scaramucci’s abrupt removal came just 10 days after the wealthy New York financier was brought on to the West Wing staff, a move that convulsed an already chaotic White House and led to the departures of Sean Spicer, the former press secretary, and Reince Priebus, the president’s first chief of staff.

The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.

It was not clear whether Mr. Scaramucci will remain employed at the White House in another position or will leave altogether.

The chaos continues.
 
At what point will reasonably qualified individuals start refusing appointments to this staff?

This is crazy.
 
LOL

Love seeing how the right attempts to spin this as something positive.

Isn't it becoming more and more apparent that trump isn't mentally there? Is he suffering from a paranoid nervous breakdown? In all seriousness, so much turnover combined with his bizarre rallies and tweets leave me to believe that there's significant potential that he's mentally ill.

The GOP can't accomplish anything on their agenda with the executive burning down.

And our enemies see that we are leaderless. Has America been this leaderless in our lifetimes? What about our allies? Who in their right mind would try and work with our country when they know that person will probably be fired the next day or trumpf might tweet out the classified intelligence to the enemy?

The short term is the irony of mooch. A vulgar jackass who sold his soul only to be axed in 10 days.

The long term is a world without American leadership. Literally, allies might as well just work with individual state governors or generals since our country's executive is bonkers.
 
Scary to think what would happen if we suffered an actual crisis today. Could you imagine if our nation faced another 9/11, Bank meltdown, or Katrina today?
 
We would be fine. What did the president do about those crisis?

Ummmmmmm the president's lack of attention to those issues is exactly why those crisises even happened. 9/11 easily could've been prevented had Bush read his security briefings and not slashed funding to anti-terrorism. Katrina was a natural disaster made worse because of the president's lack of attention. The economic meltdown can be blamed on both clinton and bush.

Let me put it this way, if an enemy planned a devastating terror attack, do you think this executive is paying attention to prevent it? Think they're prepared for the aftermath? Do you trust that the president is paying enough attention to his job or is easily distracted by Twitter and what the news media is saying about him? Does trump have the intelligence and curiosity to learn about and understand complex countries and their culture? For example, North Korea isn't just being mean just to be mean. There's a long historical and cultural issue at play and I'm not sure if Donald can even find NK on a map where all other countries are one color and NK is another.
 
I just checked my mailbox history and I haven't received any PMs from you in at least six months. Feel free to resend.

hmmm..... it was last November. I deleted my copy.




I quote critics, sure. But there is no witch hunt, at least not from the sources I quote. But in Trump land, any criticism at all is labeled a witch hunt in order to attempt to marginalize it. That's one of his and his supporters MANY failings.

The one thing stuck in the craw of the DumpTrumpsters boils down to he's different. I like different.

The worst set of imaginable failings anyone can have, in my book, is wanting the past to go one being our only choice. It's time for fundamental change, and sharp change from our globalist, fascist mindset, the dreamland of our elites and intellectuals.

I think you, Jonah, Mitt Romney, McCain, the Bush dynasty, the Clintons, Gores, and Obamas are the really incompetent people who need to be re-directed.



Well, duh.



Give me a break. How about you just hold me responsible for my own words, and also for helping to make sure people follow the forum rules in their own posts. That would make a lot more sense.

Well, I'm no expert on multi-quote so I inserted my general view inside.

I still hold you to be the principal responsible party for what this forum is, and when I lodge my complaints I will probably address you on the topic if relates generally to the forum and how it's managed. I know the mods have been delegated a lot of latitude, but unless I can specifically address them on a topic, you're the default.

I don't know anything about Jason except he's smart and probably busier.

But I see it's important to document my case with exact quotes in addressing you. Will do so.
 
We would be fine. What did the president do about those crisis?
That's a bit of a silly response. The question is not what past presidents did or didn't do about those crises (I'd argue they did quite a lot, some of it bad, and sometimes inaction is the right call) but what Trump would do.

It's pretty easy to imagine his administration reacting to a crisis in the wholly disorganized and incoherent way they've operated for the last six months.

The difference is, when you're in crisis the stakes are considerably higher.

The Washington Post is reporting Monday night, that Donald Trump Jr's original statement as to the subject matter of the June 6, 2016 meeting with the Russian lawyer and others, and which was misleading, was in fact dictated by President Trump:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...eb7d3a2d304_story.html?utm_term=.ac558ca3a431

"On the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Germany last month, President Trump’s advisers discussed how to respond to a new revelation that Trump’s oldest son had met with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign — a disclosure the advisers knew carried political and potentially legal peril.

The strategy, the advisers agreed, should be for Donald Trump Jr. to release a statement to get ahead of the story. They wanted to be truthful, so their account couldn’t be repudiated later if the full details emerged.

But within hours, at the president’s direction, the plan changed.

Flying home from Germany on July 8 aboard Air Force One, Trump personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr. said that he and the Russian lawyer had “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children” when they met in June 2016, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deliberations. The statement, issued to the New York Times as it prepared an article, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was “not a campaign issue at the time.”

The claims were later shown to be misleading."
