There's no strategy behind Trump's attacks on Scaramucci — but allies are piling on to win the president's favor and private praise
As President Donald Trump’s feud with Anthony Scaramucci stretches past the brief flicker of time he served in the White House, the president’s supporters have been taking their own whacks at the man who has suddenly become Public Enemy No. 1.And Trump has been been grateful, reaching out to “give attaboys” to allies who have attacked his former communications director, according to a person close to the White House.
Allies have started spreading dirt on Scaramucci in right-wing outlets, and the word has gone out to people in Trump’s orbit to “go after him,” as one of the sources put it, by launching personal attacks on the New York-based investor, seeking to discredit what he’s saying about the president and accusing him of being a phony.
The president, in turn, has blasted Scaramucci right back, tweeting about him seven times over the last 11 days and calling him “a dope.” “The president has made his feelings known on this topic,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said. “I have too. I have been vocal because the things Anthony has been saying are false, self-serving and pathetic. After staunchly supporting this president for years, he has suddenly ‘seen the light’? Come on. The only light this guy is seeing is the camera lights he continues to seek out.”
The latest bout between the two men started on Aug. 8, when Scaramucci told MSNBC that Trump “didn’t do well” on his trips to Dayton and El Paso after the mass shootings and that the visits were a “catastrophe.”
