Fired former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci claims Melania Trump wants Kamala Harris to win the November election.
Scaramucci, who infamously worked for President Trump for just 11 days, made the eye-catching claim on the MediasTouch podcast, claiming ‘nobody wants [Harris] to win more than me.’
But the man who served as White House Communications Director then tempered his assertion – claiming Melania is even keener for a Kamala victory than him.
‘Maybe Melania Trump. That could be the only person I think of. Because she hates (Trump),’ Scaramucci told host Ben Meiselas.
Trump’s former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, 60, claimed that Melania Trump ‘hates’ her husband and hopes that Kamala Harris wins the election
‘The Mooch’ went on to say that, for example, the host of the podcast hates the GOP leader ‘slightly less than Melania’
‘I judge the hatred of Donald Trump by the Melania standard,’ he continued.
‘The Mooch’ went on to say that, for example, the host of the podcast hates the GOP leader ‘slightly less than Melania.’
‘My wife hates Trump as much as Melania,’ Scaramucci said.
‘I’ve met one person that actually hates Trump more than Melania,’ the former Communications Director said, raising his hand to indicate the intensity of the hatred.
‘That’s General Milley. He’s the only guy I’ve met so far that actually hates him more than Melania,’ he claimed.
Donald Trump has long rubbished Scaramucci’s claims about him and Melania, suggesting that his former aide is bitter and that he has an ax to grind.
Melania was rumored to have been a reluctant first lady during Donald’s 2017-2021 White House term. But she was a popular one, with her low-key presence, diplomatic behavior and elegant style winning her fans on both the left and right.
The former first lady has kept a low profile since Trump left the White House in January 2021. But sources insist she fully supports her husband’s re-election bid.

Scaramucci was appointed as the White House Communications Director on July 21, 2017
Scaramucci was appointed as the White House Communications Director on July 21, 2017, and later that same day, Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned, reportedly over objection to his hiring.
Only a few days later, the newly minted Trump official found himself at the center of a P.R. crisis when he launched an expletive-laden rant on a phone call with a New Yorker reporter, which he thought was off the record.
By July 31, the president had dismissed ‘the Mooch,’ on the advice of his new chief of staff, John Kelly, who doubted that Scaramucci was credible enough for the role.
When he was sacked, his total tenure of eleven days became tied for the shortest in the history of the position.
Scaramucci has since embarked on a one-man war against his former boss and was an avowed Joe Biden supporter in the 2020 presidential election.

Along with Matt Borges and other high-profile Republicans, he created the Right Side PAC in June 2020, which was a super PAC that aimed to prevent another Trump presidency and supported Biden.
The former Trump appointee doubled down on his support for Biden in 2024, contributing $30,000 to his campaign in June.
When the president announced on July 21 that he would no longer be seeking re-election, Scaramucci wrote on social media: ‘President Biden is an American Patriot, phenomenal career.’
He added: ‘Time to defeat Trump and the menace he represents.’
