Okay, yes, Trump needs a communications director, so, fine, Tony's his new one. That is what it is. What's the strategy of choosing Scaramucci? It's not as though Trump's problems accrue from lack of vocally ardent defenses; there are plenty of germane and serious policy failings.
Some of Scaramucci's deleted tweets are below.
In a Fox News Sunday interview, Chris Wallace pulled up the following Scaramucci tweet:
"We (the USA) has 5% of the world's population but 50% o f the world's guns. Enough is enough. It is just common sense to apply more controls."
Asked if he still believes that, Scaramucci did not directly answer the question, instead talking about why he deleted tweets, why he took the job of WH communications director, and something Ed Koch once said. ???
It's not as though the man has any sense about managing communications and communications professionals. It's not as though the man has any apparent distinctive competencies that militate for his being given the job. And it's not as though the man has long been an advocate for Trump; however, now he's going to be his chief apologist.
So, just what the hell is the point of hiring "The Mooch?"
I get that "The Mooch" is personally good at defending Trump, but there's a lot more to his job than being a vocal champion. And there's a lot more amiss in Trump's Administration and policies.
- Is Trump desirous of a comms director who at heart espouses Democratic policies? Perhaps because Trump once did and wants to return to doing so?
- Does Trump think adding yet another person with nearly no politics experience (beyond writing checks), governance experience and no communications experience will be a boon to his Administration?
- Does Trump think merely having a brazen and cocky New Yorker in the role will make things work?
- Does Trump think bringing another billionaire into his Administration will aid him in "draining the swamp?"
- Does Trump feel he needs a communications director who seems even more willing and more able than Spicer and Dubke to show even greater degrees of obsequiousness and fealty?

- The Promise and Peril of the Trump Economy
- Trump is proposing spending programs that seem to imply the economy is weak and in desperate need of help, yet economic indicators don't support that notion.
- Meet Marco Dorado, Exhibit A in What's Wrong With Trump's Immigration Policies
- Over 200 economists say Trump is wrong on immigration
- The fundamental concern the plan poses is that, barring extraordinarily large cuts in government spending or future tax increases, it would yield persistently large, and likely unsustainable, budget deficits.
- On a static basis, the plan would lead to at least 0.8 percent higher after-tax income for all taxpayer quintiles. The plan would lead to at least 10.2 percent higher incomes for the top 1 percent of taxpayers or as much as 16.0 percent higher, depending on the nature of a key business policy provision.
