President Donald Trump\u2019s supporters are loyal to him like dogs are loyal to their masters, a former Trump official recently explained \u2014 and people opposed to Trump need to accept that.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s approach to corruption is to do everything in the open,\u201d Anthony Scaramucci, Trump\u2019s former communications director, explained on X on Thursday. \u201cMake it so ridiculous and so inundating that people\u2019s heads spin and then once they\u2019re numb, keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scaramucci then mentioned one of Trump\u2019s most notorious scandals \u2014 the Jeffrey Epstein files, which despite many illegal redactions implicate Trump in at least one alleged sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

\u201cYet, Trump masterfully buried the lead on all of it \u2014 through a war, through noise, through sheer volume of chaos,\u201d Scaramucci wrote. \u201cWhen you ask voters what they care about, the Epstein files are at the bottom of the list. They want jobs and gas prices they can afford. Trump\u2019s corruption isn\u2019t even on their radar screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

For this reason, Scaramucci warned that people who oppose Trump should \u201cnot underestimate him. He\u2019s sitting at 34% approval and he still has 9\/10 self-identified Republicans doing whatever he says. He says bark. They say woof. He says jump. How high, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded, \u201cThat\u2019s the architecture of power he\u2019s built and it\u2019s more durable than his critics want to admit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scaramucci has repeatedly criticized Trump supporters for their seeming unwillingness to ever turn on the president, regardless of what he does. On Wednesday Scaramucci posted on X that \u201cTrump is a symptom, not the disease. If it wasn\u2019t him it would be someone else with the same narcissistic, populist impulses \u2014 because the underlying conditions that created him haven\u2019t changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then expressed some sympathy for Trump supporters, noting that they are suffering from immense economic hardships because of rising prices and lowered economic opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people feel the system is rigged against them and nobody in power is fixing it, they check out,\u201d Scaramucci said. \u201cWhen they check out long enough, someone like Trump comes along and becomes the avatar for all that anger. They adhere to him even when he\u2019s doing the exact opposite of what he promised. The idea that when Trump loses power in 2028 things revert to normal \u2014 that\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Trump official added on Tuesday, though, that Trump\u2019s policies are making Americans\u2019 lives much worse instead of better.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Barack Obama had done half of what Trump is doing now, Fox News would have been calling for impeachment,\u201d Scaramucci wrote, referring to how Trump\u2019s spending \u2014 much unauthorized by Congress \u2014 is on pace to increase the national debt by $9 to $10 trillion by the start of 2029<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump has no economic philosophy,\u201d Scaramucci wrote. \u201cHe spent $8.2 trillion in his first term and he’s on pace for $9 to $10 trillion in this one. We’re at 100 percent debt to GDP held by investors \u2014 122 percent if you count the Fed’s balance sheet. Ray Dalio will tell you those numbers put you in sovereign debt crisis territory. And when that happens, the only way politicians are willing to pay for it is through inflation. Which is the cruelest possible outcome, because inflation is the worst tax you can impose on lower and middle income people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with this author for Salon in 2018, Scaramucci said even that Trump\u2019s movement is fueled by economic grievances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I saw was in a generation we went from aspirational working class families, like the one I grew up in, to [desperate] working class families,\u201d Scaramucci said. \u201cWhat I saw is a decline in wages causing some level of economic asphyxiation for a very large group of people. And so Trump being out there, going into those areas, explaining the policies that he\u2019s going to put in place, and then executing on some of those policies. I mean it\u2019s not me saying, it\u2019s just go look at \u2018The Wall Street Journal.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
