Trump is looking to Wall Off America from Rest of the World: Scaramucci

Listen to this article

U.S President Donald Trump has shown much variation since he won the presidential election 2016. There are a number of former and current US officials criticized Donald Trump. Now, the former White House Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci issued a statement. He said, “A lot of my liberal friends would say he’s the same person that he was in 2015, but I don’t see it that way, because back then, he had a lot more personality, and believe it or not, he could be self-deprecating and he had a sense of humor. What’s happened to Trump is the power and perceived attacks on him. There’s something in Trump’s personality where he’s not capable of rolling with the punches”.

Scaramucci added, “So, he’s a counter puncher, it’s almost like he drank a potion that made him the Incredible Hulk, a power puncher, you know. He was not a candidate running for president. At that time, there was a jocularity about Trump, a less serious side that was very entertaining. Once Trump became the candidate, the attacks kept coming in. Attacks on him were no more or less than what the attacks on Obama, George Bush or even Bill Clinton, but Trump didn’t handle it well. Trump did things that are pathologically associated with people who act like dictators and tyrants. Just go down the list. What did he do? Number one, he started to viciously attack the press”.

He also said, “Number 2, he started to throw out anybody in his path in the administration that he thought was one syllable off of what he thought, so there couldn’t be anything but uniform thinking. Everybody had to be like a Politburo, unanimous voting around him. And then the last thing he’s doing that’s also a very important part of that change is that he has generated anger and racist license in the country. He’s gone full tribal. The greatness of America rests on the ability to unify people that are not from the same tribe, not from the same culture, not from the same religious perspective. The best leaders understand that they need to be a beacon, a metaphorical glue to help keep the country together. I don’t think anyone’s ever laid out and explained what Trump’s world view is”.
