THIS IS AMAZING: Anthony Scaramucci just reacted to Katie Zacharia breaking his record for the shortest stint in Trump’s White House
“Records are made to be broken,” Scaramucci wrote on X. “But I take no pleasure in other people’s pain.”
Scaramucci famously lasted just 11 days as Trump’s communications director in 2017. Zacharia lasted five as press secretary.
And Scaramucci was keeping score the whole time.
According to The Hill, he posted earlier this week that the clock was running, and that so far she’d lasted one-eleventh of a Scaramucci.
He wasn’t the only one watching. People online spent the week joking about whether she’d make it one full Scaramucci. Bettors on the prediction market Kalshi were literally wagering on when she’d be gone.
They didn’t have to wait long.
At her first briefing on Tuesday, she spoke for 14 minutes and took questions from just three reporters. Asked where she took the bar exam, she answered, “when I moved to China.” That same night, the Wall Street Journal reported she had failed it.
Then she told Real America’s Voice she had “misheard” the question and called the results of the exam inconsequential.
By Friday, Trump was telling reporters that if he were her, he’d reconsider. A White House official confirmed to The Hill that she is “transitioning out.”
Five days. Three questions. One failed bar exam. And a brand-new record in the Trump White House.
The Mooch had a good run. Trump’s press secretary couldn’t even make it half as long.- Really American
