New White House communications boss Anthony Scaramucci has made a searing entry into his new job, telling a journalist that US President Donald Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon is trying to build his personal brand “off the f*****g strength of the President.”
“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own c**k,” he is said to have told Ryan Lizza, the New Yorker’s Washington correspondent.
Lizza said the conversation took place after he tweeted that Mr Scaramucci was having dinner with Mr Trump, talk show host Sean Hannity and former Fox executive Bill Shine.
He said the Donald Trump loyalist and new communications director called him, furious that the details of the dinner had leaked.
“Who leaked that to you?” he asked, according to the reporter who refused to answer.
“What I’m going to do is, I will eliminate everyone in the comms team and we’ll start over,” Mr Scaramucci responded.
The reporter writes that the leaking of the dinner was evidence to Scaramucci that rivals in the White House, who opposed his appointment, were still plotting against him, particularly White House chief of staff Reince Priebus.
“Reince is a f*****g paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Mr Scaramucci told Lizza.
