There’s nothing wrong when POTUS Donnie stated he wanted to “drain the swamp” yet the problem being you still need folks who know how to navigate those waters and by having “loyalists” only makes the Admin look like amateur hour. You had a good 3 months to vet the right people, screw loyalty, get people who know how to do the job not a bunch of ass kissers  – PB/TK

President Trump Adds ‘Business Guy’ Anthony Scaramucci to His Collection of Male Archetypes – By Erin Gloria Ryan / July 21 2017

This morning, a double whammy of summer shakeups in the White House sucked all the air out of the news cycle. Out was long-suffering White House press secretary Sean Spicer. Out was a damning report that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had communicated about the campaign with Russians. In, at perhaps one of the most challenging possible moments in a presidency of challenging moments, was a brand new White House communications director by the name of Anthony Scaramucci.

Scaramucci would have his work cut out for him if he were a seasoned pro in the world of political communications. But he isn’t. He’s a hedge-fund-founder-turned-author-turned-part-time-pundit. He’s written some books, too, which I suppose is a form of communication. So are his milquetoast ejaculations like, “I’m a risk manager, but I’m also a risk taker” and “I’m not a sociologist, I’m not a political scientist, but I think I’m a fairly intuitive person.”

But Scaramucci’s readiness for the job doesn’t matter. Nobody’s readiness for any job matters to Donald Trump. This president doesn’t hire—he casts, like he’s building the roster of a Justice League-style movie franchise with hyper-masculine stereotypes that went out of fashion in the 1980s. This makes for entertaining television, but questionable governance.

The addition of Scaramucci was apparently no exception to Trump’s artifice-centric process. Scaramucci, Trump’s Aggressive Wall Street Man in the action figure collection of his inner circle, reads like a minor character in a screenplay written by a person who has never spoken with a banker. He is at once upbeat, angry, and meaningless, a mass of formless aggression and esoteric qualities like “winning.”
