Anthony Scaramucci Reveals His Biggest Trump Mistake

The Rest Is Politics: Leading

529,870 views

Why does Anthony Scaramucci think Osama bin Laden is “winning”, and what has the War on Terror really cost America? From letting China into the WTO to bailing out the banks in 2008, how did America's own leaders pave the way for Donald Trump's electoral victories? As Trump's second term reaches its halfway point, is America about to bankrupt itself?

Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart are joined by Anthony Scaramucci, Trump’s former Communications Director and co-host of The Rest is Politics: US, to answer all these questions and more.

I’m with Alistair, Trump has always given me a feeling of disgust since the 1980’s. He’d never charm me!! What amazes me is that others don’t feel this.
Many thanks guys 🙏❤️

The rich and powerful are the wind beneath Trump’s wings. He alone isn’t wrecking everything. It’s the rich and powerful who are enabling and encouraging him who are wrecking everything…globally.

It's the American system that is wrong to allow Trump, the felon, into the system

You can say what you will about DJT ability to charm, and I believe you. But bottom line, he is a sociopath. Lying, cheating, stealing, absolutely devoid of empathy. A sociopath likely descending into dementia . Not a good combination.

All that "charm" only in service to his sociopathic ends

I have come to the conclusion that US folks are just next level gullible. You've always been able tell Trump is full of sh*t as soon as he opens his mouth.

Ten points editor. It does none of us any harm to have the fact checks included 🙌

He only charms fools and idiots, and those who don't know or understand their own shortcomings. Smart people are not charmed. Bad smart people see an opportunity to profit only by using this man, this pied piper of idiots.

One optimistic thing about Trump: imagine he were 60 not 80 now???!!!

BTW there are very many here in Germany, who never forgave Schröder for what he did. And never will. Even for a those who were effected straight away or in the following years coming and might even do well economically nowadays. The memory of being dishonored stays. Part of the shocking results from last Sunday elections are a reflection of that. Or a mosaic stone of it. I just hope that we get our social and economic problems solved without loosing our democracy.

Scaramucci was a much more interesting guest than I imagined. Good book title.

I survived a cruel narcissist family growing up. I often thought each long day will this ever end? Like living through a trump presidency really. I see bullying, lies and cheating and heaps of manipulation. But it doesn't mean you give up, you keep going for one day it ends and you reach freedom at the end of a long, dark tunnel. Then you lick your wounds which are many and you go forward, wiser and at peace because you Never surrendered. Peace and love to all on this great channel.

This is one of the most interesting and inciteful conversations that I’ve watched in a long while. Scaramucci is so fascinating to listen to.

The problem is republican bogus trickle down BS, tax cuts to the rich, and endless stupid wars in the United States, which drove up debt and interest rates on that debt. Now add tariffs to the mix. Forget China, comma this is largely internal. The enemy from within is Republican vulture, capitalism

Trump is not the cause, he is the consequence of growing problems in the US.
