Fmr. White House Aide: Trump Thought Scaramucci Was ‘Completely Out of His Mind — Like, on Drugs or Something’

A new portion of former White House communications aide Cliff Sims‘s upcoming memoir suggests that President Donald Trump was just as taken aback as the rest of the country during Anthony Scaramucci‘s brief tenure as White House communications director.

Sims has drawn a lot of attention due to media interest in “Team of Vipers,” his upcoming tell-all about his time in the West Wing. The Washington Post obtained an advanced copy of Sims’s autobiography, and one of the portions they highlighted was a chapter which described Scaramucci’s short-lived White House career.

Sims characterized the Mooch as “fire-breathing dragon that had just returned from laying waste to the unsuspecting peasants in the village” when describing his effort to smoke out White House leakers. Sims also writes that Scaramucci ordered the White House’s media aides to say they only answer to him and Trump if anyone ever asks them to leak information to the press.

From the book, per WaPo.
