Anthony Scaramucci, former communications director for the Trump administration, appeared on CNN’s “The Lead” and suggested that former President Donald Trump’s relationships often end in turmoil. During the interview, anchor Jake Tapper asked Scaramucci about the support Trump is receiving from high-ranking Republican officials in court cases.
Scaramucci responded by calling it an obligatory loyalty test, noting that while some politicians show support for Trump, it will never be enough for him. He emphasized Trump’s transactional nature, pointing out that even those loyal to him may be left in the lurch when needed. Scaramucci warned against blindly following someone, as it can lead to a loss of judgment and projection.
He cited Michael Cohen as an example, highlighting how Cohen’s loyalty to Trump ultimately led to a breakdown in their relationship. Scaramucci concluded by describing Trump’s belief in asymmetrical loyalty, which he believes leads to the darkness that often characterizes Trump’s relationships.
