Anthony Scaramucci makes it to double digits...but that's it.
White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, has been fired after only 10 days. ‘The Mooch’ ruffled some feathers in his short time at the White House, launching a profanity-ridden attack on Chief of Staff, Reince Preibus, calling him a "paranoid schizophrenic” on an interview. In another interview with Newsnight, Scaramucci also attempted to explain (rather patronizingly) why being a “frontstabber” is a better political strategy than being a backstabber.
Mr. Trump's spokesperson, Sarah Sanders, said that the president thought Mr Scaramucci's comments "were inappropriate for a person in that position." And thus, the saying "The pot calling the kettle black" has reached its highest point of social relevancy.
Social media users from all over brought out their best to roast Scaramucci’s quick departure, with #Scaramucci trending on Twitter in a matter of hours.

I left a frozen turkey on the counter the day #Scaramucci was hired. Still hasn't thawed.

There are people who went off the grid for ten days who will never know who The Mooch was.

Even Trump, who the evicted politician has repeatedly expressed his ‘love’ for, didn’t seem too torn up over the whole thing.
A great day at the White House!

It’s probably fair to say Scaramucci is regretting the decision to sell his company for a stint in the White House shorter than it takes to get your fortnightly Hot Press.
