Anthony Scaramucci says he is ‘cool’ with President Trump despite getting sacked after just 10-days as White House Communications Director.
The Mooch, 53, hopes the feeling is mutual from the leader of the free wold. ‘I’m cool with him, I hope he’s cool with me,’ he said, before adding he believes his firing in July was akin to a business decision.
‘Hey, let me tell you something — politics is totally different than business,’ he said in the interview to Yahoo News. ‘But it’s similar to business in one way — when a decision is strategically made to change management, what typically happens is other personnel go alongside the management change.’
‘Im cool with him, I hope he’s cool with me’ says Scaramucci of his relationship with President Trump
President Trump axed Scaramucci after just 10 days as White House communications director in July
‘I’m a very big boy. I ran two companies. I’m an entrepreneur. I had to make those types of decisions in my life. They are painful to make. And firing a friend is sometimes a painful thing to do, but if you think it’s the right thing to do for the government and therefore the country and therefore the Administration, I’m totally cool with it.’
Scaramucci says he also has spoken to Trump since leaving the White House, but declined to go into details on those discussions.
‘The truth of the matter is, is that’s like attorney-client privilege,’ he said, ‘I respect the president. I sort of have a friendship with him, and we’ve had conversations. For me, you know, I just wouldn’t talk about it.’
In the meantime Scaramucci has been drumming up his next venture online. Monday he unvieled hsi new media venture, the ‘Scaramucci Post,’ at an event Monday, though it’s unclear to just about everyone what the Scaramucci Post is.
‘You want to describe it right? Say ”Scaramucci has absolutely no idea what he’s doing and he has absolutely no idea where The Scaramucci Post is going,” he told a group of reporters.
Mooch says he will be rolling out content on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. He owns the domain ScaramucciPost.com but says he doesn’t want to do full blown website just yet.
In what would only be a handful of shots of Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director during his 10-day stint
The ‘Scaramucci Post’ was unveiled Monday and is being rolled out on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter first, and could potentially turn into a website
‘We’re going to roll out content and product on those three venues,’ Scaramucci told Yahoo. ‘And over time, if I have the right proof of concept, we’ll start selling advertisement, which I’ve already done. And we’ll start creating a full-blown website. I don’t want to do that yet.’
He says the one thing he learned from his time in the White House- is not to talk to reporters.
Scaramucci was removed from his White House Communications Director after speaking with a reporter in a phone call in which he insulted Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon. The conversation became public.
‘That’s what I learned. Obviously, I didn’t learn it enough because I’m still talking to you,’ he said, adding, ‘I love talking to reporters. That’s actually what I was trying to do. Open up that system.’
‘I’m not sure if we’re hiring journalists yet,’ he said of the Scaramucci Post. ‘We may be an aggregator. We may be asking for guest contributors yet who are not even journalists. They may be business people, or they may be ordinary business people, you know what I’m saying?’
