So Scaramucci is out after just a couple of weeks on the job. (It looks like "the leakers" outlasted you there big guy.) It was fun while it lasted, but there will be no Mooch jokes tonight. Governing is serious business, and the joke is on all of us if we allow Donald trump to continue playing these games with the American presidency. The guy (Mooch) was a disaster from the start, but somehow it all seemed normal in this very chaotic White House.
The real joke coming out of the White House is that one of the reasons given for Mr. Scaramucci being ousted is that trump felt that some of the things that he said were "inappropriate". Let me repeat that: Mr. trump said that some of the things that Scaramucci said were "inappropriate."
Mr. "Grab em by the pussy" himself fires someone for saying something inappropriate? I
swear you can't make this stuff up.
Anyway, someone who reads this blog on a regular basis asked me today why I despise trump so much.
I told her that the answer is simple, really: The man rose to political prominence on a racist lie, and he has never apologized for it. In fact, you could argue, that he benefited from it. There are other reasons of course, but that's the main one.
What's scary is that as Americans we have tried really hard to normalize him, primarily because he is such a national embarrassment that him being elected president reflects poorly on all of us. Thus the push to make him seem normal when we know damn good and well that there is nothing normal about him. Exhibit A: The totally chaotic and helter-skelter way that he has been running his White House has led to the ouster of yet another one of his top aides. (I think that this is number eight in six months.)
"If they’re going to stay on that staff, they’re going to stop leaking,”.... “If you’re going to keep leaking, I’m going to fire everybody.”
Bye Mooch, we hardly knew ya.
