The shock move follows a turbulent series of media appearances over the last week, capped by a foul-mouthed tirade to a New Yorker journalist last Thursday, and comes just hours after the appointment of Gen John Kelly as Trump’s chief of staff.
The decision to remove Scaramucci, nicknamed “the Mooch”, came at Kelly’s request, the New York Times reported. It is not clear whether Scaramucci will remain employed at the White House in another position or leave altogether, the paper added.

I wonder if it was done by tweet.

This Presidency is just turning into a fiasco.

The world must be laughing
including North Korea.

Wonder how long Kelly willl last?

I think the idea is that Kelly will enforce discipline which will probably work until Trump gets the hump because he feels usurped.

Just seen a FB post - the only man in America who is busier than the LG repair man is the one who paints the names on the White House office doors!

Go on, you were all singing it.....

It is really clever isn't it! We started singing this as soon as he was announced as Communications chap, but now, as he is 'escorted off the premises' it is even funnier! It is good to belt it out really loudly, with apologies to my neighbour sitting in his garden...

He may join in in a minute Gill

Trump has been found to help draft the knowingly misleading statement about his sons meeting with the Russians.

I put this on the other thread. Does trump deserve two threads?
He'll certainly be trying to pardon himself if this is true.

Brilliant!
Trump says that Scottish independence will be a tragedy because Scotland will lose the British Open!!!!

Mum was just telling me that the speech he gave which was widely criticised to the scouts because it was all about Trump. Well apparently Trump is aware of the criticism and tweeted that the Scout movement had messaged Trump to say it was the best speech they had ever heard from a president.

The scout movement said "no such message was ever sent"

The scout movement also said it was non-political and backs nobody!

Do we really want to trade with the US?

The poem on the Statue of Liberty has no meaning, according to the White House.

Another difficult day for Trump.

His hands have been tied by Congress with regard to sanctions on Russia. Congress have prevented Trump from stopping or reducing them.
A few conversations he has had behind closed doors have been leaked, including his recognition that Mexico will not be paying for the wall.

What wall?

Would you believe that the new Airforce One plane came from Russia?

Grand jury been sworn in. The noose is tightening!

They seem to have a lot of powers to summon people.

Can they make them tell the truth, though?

Sky News thinks this could drag on for years...
