He lasted just 11 days as White House communications director, before being fired from the Trump administration. The financier and broadcaster discusses working for the president \u2013 and becoming his biggest critic<\/p>\n
\u2018If somebody walks into your office and says they\u2019re friends with Donald Trump, they\u2019re either exaggerating the relationship, or they don\u2019t understand the relationship,\u201d says Anthony Scaramucci. \u201cBecause nobody is friends with Donald. You\u2019re a transaction in this guy\u2019s field of vision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scaramucci should know. He has been non-friends with Trump for more than 30 years, though these days he\u2019s more an outright enemy. Just as the attention-devouring president once stalked Hillary Clinton on the debate stage<\/a>, Trump looms large in Scaramucci\u2019s story. The two men seem to haunt each other. When we meet in London during a stopover in his hectic schedule, the conversation rarely drifts away from Trump for more than a few minutes. Conversely, the 62-year-old financier and broadcaster has become one of Trump\u2019s most vocal and penetrating critics. \u201cWe fight like New Yorkers,\u201d Scaramucci says. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t really come back at me, because he knows I\u2019m going to come back at him.\u201d Unlike Trump\u2019s presumptive friends, Scaramucci does<\/em> understand Trump, he claims. \u201cThere\u2019s something called \u2018Trump derangement syndrome\u2019; I think I have \u2018Trump reality syndrome\u2019. I know what he is, I know what he does, I know what he\u2019s capable of and I know the danger of him.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" He lasted just 11 days as White House communications director, before being fired from the Trump administration.
