After Weekend Feud, Scaramucci Explains Why President Donald Trump Must Go | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
If he was “totally incapable” of handling the position, why did Trump hire him?
@Idylchatter He is a malignant narcissist. I’m not a psychologist, but I would wager a reasonable amount of money on him having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Search for it and see for yourself. What you call a total ***hole, only scratches the surface. He knows no bounds, and he will go further to cause damage.
He was the best people then.
Then liberals.
@ADOS Justice History is even a better example.
See; Benito Mussolini.
Hear the Cheeto Benito.
@Idylchatter Well said! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💙💙💙💙
Al. X If you have to fire so MANY people ( or people quit), like trump has had happen, you’d have to start questioning the ability of the person who’s doing the hiring. Lol!
It isnt rocket science and the excuse of ‘well, this job is too big for this person and it is a natural process that has occurred when they get fired’ can only take you so far. Too many people in this administration ( staff turnover rate is the highest in HISTORY) to chalk it up to NORMAL personnel issues.
But I guess that’s fake news and a media fabrication like everything else negative ( that can actually be proven) has been, uh? Lmao!
Best political instincts in history? These people are delusional.
He snatched power in his first full campaign.
I mean it was good enough to become president
“The president will turn on everyone eventually”. It took him this long to figure that out?!
Why is MSNBC interested in what he has to say? His insight and intelligence are average at best.
He’s very entertaining
This is news.
A Trump loyalist doing a 180.
Good news.
Delusions are not always permanent.
There’s hope for America when da MOOCH sees the error of his ways.
It’s all about how much of America one is willing to trade.
Are the rats jumping ship
Only when they have no chance of getting back in and are attacked by Trump.
@Doom2exe No one is infallible but self-imposed blindness is another thing altogether.
No he just explained why he had to go. A male Omarosa.
Omarosa was fired for being black. He isn’t
She-wolf Omarosa made a believer out of me.
That was the reason she was hired not the reason she was fired. She jumped in trying to help with the minority vote but was fired for being Uh… Omarosa.@Travis Hartman
And another rat gets kicked off the ship, shaking his fist. Next slide, please.
@Bas Smith Tha’s called propaganda 101, as is the “misspelling” of Trump. you’re not clever, you’re a bad retread. : )
@Bunne Rabb I don’t like the guy. I don’t care if he has a deal for a book I’ll never read. Maybe “integrity” isn’t the best description for this. My point is that there should be a lot more 45 supporters willing to renounce him publicly for his racism.
Your loyalty should always be to the country not the person.
lilly pad Just because you believe in something doesn’t mean it’s real. Don’t you know that yet?guess not.
Hudson Hawk Exactly right 100%
lilly pad Yes one last thing from me.You.Are.Crazy.
Do you have your own personal straight jacket or do you have to go and have your well let’s call them doctors put it on for you
L98FIERO We have a bingo!exactly correct
The mooch will go on Fox news, claim the interview on MSNBC was taken out of context and he fully backs Trump for reelection.
Incorrect.
Glad to see your faith in humanity is back.
Tessmage Tessera I hope so. We have a long way to go though. Anything can happen.
@Lady Arrow A very good indicator is the large number of incumbent Republicans in Congress choosing not to run for re-election, which speaks volumes, considering that the incumbent President typically carries the party. While a few like Rep. Hurd are retiring at least partly on principle because of Trump, all of them can read the writing on the wall in their swing districts. Even some districts that are normally conservative are at increasing risk for incumbent Republicans. Anything can happen, and often does, but following events below are probably most likely to occur.
1. Total loser Trump’s term runs another seventeen months–plenty of time for Toxic Traitor Trump to do far more damage, and plenty of time for impeachment.
2. Impeachment is already happening, and has been ongoing for some time. Dems not setting any specific dates, but promise decision on making it official is forthcoming soon. More evidence and testimony is expected, but Democrat leadership has made clear that the ongoing stonewalling and obstruction of the Trump administration will have left them little choice but to impeach, regardless, to preserve our Constitution.
3. Because this is Terrorist Trump involved, and because much of the facts surrounding his malfeasance and perfidy before and after obtaining office are already widely known–as well as his treasonous acts, divisive racist demagoguery and gross incompetence that make him unfit for the highest office–it is all but certain that the House will vote to impeach, and that it will refer the matter to the Senate.
4. The question of impeachment therefore hinges upon Republicans in the Senate, who are forced to hold an impeachment trial, with the Chief Justice of SCOTUS presiding. No Chief Justice is going to allow ANYONE to make a public mockery of a very serious Constitutional matter–not even fellow members of the GOP. Therefore, there will a trial where all the evidence will be presented against Trump, with nothing or very little that can be presented in his defense, albeit some Republicans will strive mightily to find some technicality to hang their hat upon.
5. When the rubber hits the road, and all eyes of the nation, the world, and history are upon Congressional Republicans to do what is obviously the right thing, they will face tremendous pressure. They are already beginning to face considerable pressure, which will only have increased as public support for impeachment continues to grow and become more outraged. It isn’t that Republicans WANT to do the right thing; it is that they will have been FORCED to do the right thing, for their own political and professional survival.
6. So, you see, it really is up to you, me, and the rest of the public still in possession of sound mind, to step up and do our thing–loudly!
Well.. Scaramucci’s brain catches on at the speed of Internet Explorer, but at least he got there.
ZedK49 and this is needed.
Lol
This dude is Netscape Navigator.
Actually, the connection has much more to do with the speed pages load than any browser one uses. Have used all the browsers at one time or another. They have all had their bugs. IE gets used the most, its standard software, so it gets attacked the most by crackers. About 95% of my browser use over the decades has been IE, and have very few problems despite wide and frequent use, often with 20-30 browser windows open simultaneously. The speed is highly dependent upon the connection. With my usual standard home connection, all the pages load instantly, no matter which browser used. Didn’t care much for any of the early browsers, but all have vastly improved over time, as have connection speeds. More of a critic than a MS fan, but IE surprisingly still working, albeit mostly use Edge now. Just personal preference and indulgence over the years, but have always appreciated and supported others using non-MS browsers, operating systems, or other products. Opposed to MS monopoly, but have always been supportive of commonality and standards among computers, which is still somewhat of a problem, although not nearly as much as in the early days. While I’d still like to see them downsized, it must be admitted that MS has been both a curse and a blessing for computing.
You get a thumbs-up for the joke, except who really cares what Mooch thinks? Why does the media present this jerk on any panel or interview? He contributes zero. There are people who have a really good handle on the zeitgeist of America, and the Mooch isn’t one of them. This is the same guy that stated just a week or so ago in an interview that Trump was racist and that he hoped he would get re-elected! What sane person wants a racist as President? The Mooch is the sickening Kardashian of politics, and it’s all about his own personal enrichment and ambition.
Obviously Scaramucci isn’t to bright if he’s just realizing all this now. 🙄 Trump is and always will be a low-life
@Dragonice Lakeoffire Scary, isn’t it?
Even sycophants can have a change of heart .
That makeup on Scaramucci is awful!
He should hire the Kardashian’s makeup artist.
@Pink and Black Girl He is not going to look any better. Once a turd, always a turd.
@Chris Terrence Yeah. A talking corpse.
It’s not as bad as Anthony’s tacky office decor! The man’s so vain he even tried to claim it’s not his, lol.
Looks like he just wiped of after sweeping a chimney.
Can’t wait till this happens to Smelly Ann conjob..
Who do you mean by smelly Ann con job?
It Just Might Be You Who Smells…Ha Ha
It would be just wonderful to have her on the team.
Wouldn’t it?
I can already see trumpian heads exploding.
Omarosa now da Mooch!
KellyAnne and Hicks next!
@J Austin God What Planet Do You People Come From.
fake scaramucci? why my dude look like a wax character of himself
@Boudica Yeah, a trainee mortician, who drinks.
It’s okay if Trump bullies others, just not me. WOW!
Anthony Scaramucci is hurt because his dear Führer Trump didn’t even bother to reach around….
Typical conservative
Scaramucci is being disingenuous. Even Stevie Wonder can see that Donald was and is the same person. He hasn’t changed one iota
Exactly, that’s one good thing about Trump all agree with, he is what he is, what you see is what you get. Anthony the Rat knows that.
I have been saying that…
@yurei8 Well said! That IS the reason why Trump accepted Russia’s help during the election to get himself elected.
slimeball!!!!!!!!!!!! SLIMEBALL!!!!!!!!!!! TRUMP has been awful since his childhood!
Markst. James A.k.A. The Hemmoroid!!!!
Citation needed.
Marc St.james I’m gonna vote for him you strange person. Screeching nonsense helps no one. Trump 2020
Drink the Kool-Aid or else get bullied on Twitter. Lol Republikkkans are priceless.
*Seriously??* It’s obvious that it’s the Leftists and many Democrats that are the bullies. The anti-Trump crowd is becoming more brittle, illogical, hysterical, and vengeful with every week. The chances of being vengefully attacked from this group is increasing. They may dox you. They may slander you. They may milkshake you. They may riot at your home at night( Tucker Carlson had that). And yes, they may do worse (Congressman Scalise was shot). They may make unsupported accusations against you for which you deserve shunning and boycotts. Thy have plainly used these methods since 2016, and their frequency and volume are increasing. They have little shame about making misleading lies to forward their cause. They seem to think their righteous ends justify such means.
@Duke Makedo: Scalise was shot by his ex-boyfriend! Nothing to do with politics!
@Tiffany Kraft Wow. What crackpot website did you pull that from? Are you certain that it wasn’t a transdimensional pedophile assassin who was hired by the Rothschilds?
Trump will trow anyone that opposes him under the bus with no problem
@Blake still in the game In a past life you where a SEWER RAT now you are one of my Hemorrhoids.
With relish!
Ahh, it’s the gilted ex. The majority of his disgusting behavior was fine as long as you were with him, but now that he’s not ur telling us all how horrible he is. 🤦🏾♀️
Anthony Scaramucci is butt hurt because his dear Führer Trump didn’t even bother to reach around…
Dumpflakes realizing they’ve been taken as chump bait now crying, when the rest have seen clear as day, it’s Traitor Trump
