President Donald Trump\u2019s former White House communications director argued on Monday that his former boss does not care about the fortunes of the other members of his Republican Party.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there’s also a laziness to the way that he speaks about his goals and his agenda,\u201d CNN\u2019s Katy Tur said on Monday. \u201cI mean, he’s talking about losing the mail-in balloting case, he calls it unfair, and then just tosses off as accepted fact that no other country does mail-in balloting in the world \u2014 which is not true. I hate having to fact-check everything he says because it just takes too much time, but the UK does it, Canada, Iceland, South Korea, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Poland, Switzerland, Germany \u2014 lots of countries. When you consider what he said about the housing bill, which Americans need, and which JD Vance has been really trying to push ever since he was on the campaign trail.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tur concluded by asking financier Anthony Scaramucci, who used to work for Trump, \u201cwhy is the president so dismissive of it, especially when the Republican Party needs something to run on?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think he cares about the Republican Party,\u201d Scaramucci replied. \u201cI do a podcast with Katty Kay called The Rest Is Politics US. I say repeatedly \u2014 he doesn’t care about the Republican Party. He almost doesn’t want [Secretary of State Marco] Rubio or [Vice President JD] Vance to be as successful, because he really doesn’t want anybody to take any credit for anything. Moreover, he wants to tell Republicans: you guys were nobodies before I arrived in 2015, and you’ll be nobodies once again.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, regarding some of the most powerful Senate Republicans, \u201cJust look at the way he was talking about people like [Senate Majority Leader John] Thune, [former Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell or [Alaska Sen. Lisa] Murkowski \u2014 just go through the list of people that are still some semblance of traditional Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scaramucci concluded that Trump seems to be \u201cfocused on making money for his family and creating a lot of stir and attention. And I think that’s really it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Scaramucci pointed out that Trump seems to boast about his own corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump said something outside a press gaggle that I don\u2019t think enough people caught,\u201d Anthony Scaramucci posted on X. \u201cA reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses.\u201d The president\u2019s claim is essentially \u201c1. I have the right to do it. 2. He\u2019s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump. 3. People don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cThat\u2019s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they\u2019re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month Scaramucci told Bloomberg that Trump is also unpopular among many of his Wall Street associates.<\/p>\n

“Trump is too dangerous. It\u2019s funny, all my Wall Street buddies voted for him and now they\u2019re regretting the fact,” Scaramucci explained, later adding that “most of people are\u201d but pointing out that \u201cprices are higher. We have an oil crisis. He imposed illegal tariffs, which raised the pricing umbrella for all the lower-middle-income people that voted for him. He\u2019s put us in a very vulnerable state as a country and an economy. If you want to make the case that the banks have record profits in the short term, sure \u2014 but he\u2019s also suing some of the banking executives. You are losing the predictive capability of our justice system \u2014 what our civil rights are, what our free speech rights are. It\u2019s very, very bad for business.”<\/p>\n

Speaking with this author for Salon in 2018, Scaramucci emphasized that Trump\u2019s appeal came from his ability to speak to Americans\u2019 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 told this reporter at the time. \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
