    Trump thought Scaramucci's comments were inappropriate for someone in his position & who isn't president & chief p***y grabber.

    It's the new Chief of Staff, John Kelly, forcing Mooch out.

    It's more about the mechanics of the organization. Having Scaramucci, who reports directly to Trump, around, would have undermined Kelly's ability to do his job.

    Not really. It'd be easy enough to tell Mooch he has to go through Kelly. The problem is that Mooch is a loudmouth and a dumbass and several other things besides and Kelly wasn't going to tolerate him.

    Will Mooch be willing to agree to such a condition? Will Kelly trust Mooch to abide by such an agreement?

    If it was Spicer, he'd have no problem with it. Which tells me the problem is not organizational, it's personality.

    I do have to give Trump credit for this, even though he hired a guy to a major role and fired him a scant 10 days later: Trump gave the COS job to Kelly instead of Mooch. Mooch thought he'd clean up the White House and get rid of all the people standing in the way of Trump's id. He'd fire all the leakers, get rid of the people trying to "save America from Trump." And I'll admit I would not have been at all surprised if Trump would have been so into that he'd make Mooch the CoS. As it turns out, he was wary enough of Mooch that he gave the role to someone more even-keeled.

    Trump rule: OK to talk about girl parts, not OK to talk about boy parts. Reason for rule: Trump has a tiny boy part.
