A wealthy mini-me Manhattan bro with wolfy smile and slick coif who will say anything and flip any position. A self-promoter extraordinaire and master salesman who doesnt mind pushing a bad product and probably sees it as more fun.
For ego gratification, Trump has struck gold or Goldman Sachs with his appointment of Wall Street hedge fund guy and cable TV diva Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director.
The Mogul and the Mooch is a tender love story with dramatic implications for the imploding White House.
They have so much in common beyond an addiction to hair product. Both enjoy stirring the pot and shifting political loyalties. (Both had high praise for Hillary.) They savor counterpunching, especially in donnybrooks with CNN. Trump was taken with Scaramuccis win in getting CNN to retract a story linking him to a Russian investment fund supposedly under Senate investigation, a debacle that ended in three reporters losing their jobs.

OK, John is a lot better looking than Mooch. But there's always makeup.
And John may not have the comedic chops.
But all he's got to do is read the cue cards, and the more he fucks up as Mooch, the better.
Wha dja all think?
