Is this a record from confirmation to firing?
- pfannkuchen 1y agoThe guy likes firing people, he had a whole tv show about it.
- IAmBroom 1y agoIronically, like any coward, he never does it face-to-face. He hates any possibility of personal confrontation. The show would film him saying those infamous words, and show the reactions when the contestants were told. Likewise, in his current job he tends to fire people over Twitter.
- ivraatiems 1y agoAnthony Scaramucci wasn't confirmed, but he was hired and fired in 11 days during Trump I.
- tw04 1y agoIs it more or less than one Scaramucci? Also: he had no idea she was actually going to try doing her job. He was hoping for another yes-woman and got someone semi-competent. I doubt they'll make that mistake a second time, expect some reality-TV star to be the next nomination.
- drewbug01 1y agoJust shy of three Scaramuccis, in fact.
