Donald Trump’s former communications director turned antagonist Anthony Scaramucci says his former boss is a meaner version of the 2016 version and “there is no defence” for supporting him now.
In an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper, he references Trump’s running mate in the forthcoming election, JD Vance, who once called Trump “America’s Hitler,” and said:
“I see a more clever version of me. I’m watching a brutal train crash unfold for JD Vance.”
Scaramucci, a longtime Republican, worked for Trump briefly in 2017, for 11 days before he was fired after a reporter shared his recorded personal thoughts about his White House colleagues. He told The Times his wife Deirdre said to him at the time, “You’re unrecognisable,” and filed for divorce, before the pair reconciled.
For his decision to work on Kamala Harris’s campaign, Scaramucci reported that he had faced death threats and criticism for his disloyalty, but he added: “You have to be a patriot. You know what I say to those people? ‘You’re disloyal. You know he’s an evil guy. You know he’s a dangerous person.’”
In the same interview, Trump’s former communications director made no bones about what he considers at stake in the forthcoming election:
“It is incredible but one of the people running for the most important job in the world is a fascist. He’s talking about non-white immigrants the way the National Socialists talked about Jews. He’s dehumanising them. So anybody that is standing with him is supporting a racist Nazi.”
