Anthony Scaramucci lasted only ten days as President Donald Trump’s Director of Communications. But now that he’s out of the White House, he’s looking to make a more long-lasting mark.
His big idea? A news outlet.
Just the other day, Scaramucci began tweeting about “The Scaramucci Post” – and we were given no further details other than that it was “coming soon.”

Many were quick to mock the venture, as it’s practically analogous to Hillary Clinton banking off her crushing loss in the form of a book tour.
No, dude. Fade into obscurity, please. Your 15 minutes are over.

Is this really necessary? Asking for America. ?

On the other hand, it’s unlikely that a man with an estimated net worth between $44.8-$64.3 million is launching a publication to make a quick buck. Media is a tough business. Scaramucci wouldn’t be getting in it just for the money.
It looks like the Mooch has a bigger mission.
According to Gizmodo, there is speculation that Scaramucci is creating his one-time plan for the White House that includes producing “video content that constructively operates as ‘The President Donald J. Trump’ show.'” Earlier this summer, it was thought that the former communications director was launching the same kind of venture. That announcement was later canceled.
There are a few possibilities for what kind of media venture we’ll see revealed after this classic tease campaign is over. Whatever it is, I’m hoping the project will help advance President Trump’s agenda. The media is dead set on taking down this president. More friendly media for the White House is a good thing.
Meanwhile, the domain “TheScaramucciPost.com” has been already taken, and will bring you to the following page…..
Hilariously, Scaramucci quickly realized this, and pulled the plug on the rumor that he botched his entire project before it got off the ground.
