## Resource

On day one of his role as communications director for the White House, Anthony Scaramucci sung Donald Trump’s praises.  He would serve in that role for just another ten days, a span of time that has become known as a “mooch”. Since leaving the White House, Scaramucci has become one of the president’s most vocal and scathing critics. Now, he says Trump’s return to power is the product of deeper failures in American politics, and a warning about what happens when economic anger goes unanswered. Today, The Rest is Politics US host Anthony Scaramucci on why Trump came back, the limits of his power, and how Australia should deal with the U.S. president.   If you enjoy 7am , the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at 7ampodcast.com.au/support .   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Instagram Guest: The Rest is Politics US host Anthony Scaramucci Photo:  AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
