You can call it a "sharp executive decision" or "a well-oiled total train wreck" but, either way, Anthony Scaramucci is out after only 10 days as White House communications director. Granted, he spent that week giving foul-mouthed interviews and downplaying the idea that he reported to White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, but still.... A week is a pretty quick turnaround time.
This is currently being presented as a resignation, but it's a safe bet that it's a "resignation" in the same way that Russian Presidents die of "heart disease." If you're reading the tea leaves, it's also a safe bet that John F. Kelly had a lot to do with the decision. From the New York Times:
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 #, 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.
So, the question on everyone's mind is... "Does this mean Sean # can come back and yell at the press some more?"
