Anthony Scaramucci Removed From Communications Director Role

            Days after Anthony Scaramucci said very vulgar and crude things about the other senior members of the president's senior staff, President Trump has decided for him to be ousted out of his position of Communications Director at the request of John F. Kelly, who was very recently sworn in as Trump's second chief of staff. 

            This request by John F. Kelly shows that he wants to assert control on the West Wing, which in the past six months of Trump's presidency has been having trouble with personal relationships between members and power struggles. He was sworn in this Monday morning, in hopes that he will bring discipline to Trump's staff in a military fashion, and has been fully empowered by Trump to make significant changes.

            Sarah Huckabee Sanders, press secretary of the White House states, 
            "Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Directory. Mr. Scaracmucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best."

            In the eyes of the supporters of Scaramucci in the White House, he was only useful for making the removal of Reince Priebus, former Chief of Staff who had lost the trust of President Trump. But after his removal, Scaramucci had not been very useful.

            It is unclear in whether Scaramucci will stay at the White House in another position or not. Trump still cares about Scaramucci, despite all of the fuss in his first and only week as the Communications Director, according to close friends of President Trump and his family. He hopes that he will find a job for Scaramucci in the white house that is less powerful.
