‘He’ll Run You Over with a Car’: Insights from a Former Trump Staffer on Donald Trump’s Cruelty

Anthony Scaramucci: A Flashback to Controversy

Despite fading into relative obscurity, Anthony Scaramucci has resurfaced in the headlines, recently commenting on the abrasive nature of former President Donald Trump. His statements have reignited the public’s interest in his brief but tumultuous tenure as White House Communications Director.

Who is Anthony Scaramucci?

Scaramucci, often referred to as “The Mooch,”took the spotlight during the 2016 presidential campaign, aligning himself firmly with Trump. His time in the White House, however, was short-lived; he served for a mere ten days in July 2017 before being dismissed. Following his ousting, Scaramucci’s political allegiance shifted dramatically as he began supporting Democratic candidates, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This change was largely viewed as a reaction to his bad experience in the Trump administration, highlighting significant ideological divergences.

Recent Revelations about Trump

Fast forward to 2024, and Scaramucci is speaking out again, this time more candidly about his experiences in the Trump administration. During an interview with Freddie Hayward from New Statesman, he made some poignant observations regarding Trump’s relationships, or lack thereof.

“Anybody that tells you they’re friends with Donald Trump is misjudging the relationship. He has no friends. You might interact with him, but he’s so transactional that you’re actually not his friend. He’ll run you over with a car.”
