Insiders with knowledge of the situation say that Scaramucci will compare Trump’s

“That’s right, we need a TRAVEL BAN for certain DANGEROUS countries, not some politically correct term that won’t help us protect our people,”

To Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech.

Then, he will dance the fandango.

Same thing, except Reagan inspired Europeans with his call to tear down that wall while Trump is scaring the shit out of them.

Only person who benefits? Once again, Putin.

Trump surrogate and potential representative of the United States Anthony Scaramucci on Friday compared the President leaving Article 5 out of his recent speech to NATO members to former President Ronald Reagan urging Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall.

The perplexing comparison came during an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, who asked Scaramucci why, if Trump believed that America was part of a global community, the President left out a sentence supporting Article 5 from his speech at NATO headquarters on May 25.

Why does every Trump spokesperson/lawyer/surrogate come across as a half competent hack ? It can’t be ‘confirmation bias’ all the time ?

They can string random nouns and verbs together, wrap it all up into a sound bitey little meme that makes no sense whatsoever, and call that something other then bullshit?

And that, my friends, is the sound of a well executed @ss kiss.

Just when Trump’s ego need it most. He’s sure to get a high level appointment he has been sniffing around for after that performance.

“It was genius that he didn’t mention article 5?” Ruhle asked.

“It is,” Scaramucci said. “And Stephanie, that’s good for the American taxpayer as well. I think the American taxpayer is shouldering a tremendous burden as it relates to global security. And I think all the President’s asking for is that our partners in this thing ante up what they agreed to. And so I do think that’s genius.”

Per Wikipedia:

Scaramuccia (literally “little skirmisher”), also known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a stock clown character of the Italian commedia dell’arte. The role combined characteristics of the zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice.

Will you do the fandango, indeed!

“It is,” Scaramucci said.

Because truly Reaganesque leadership consists of equating our strongest, most-loyal democratic allies to…

Cold War enemies who butchered their own people and aimed thousands of nuclear warheads at America.

So much winning!

Given all his dissembling, Scaramucci has an appropriate name. From the Renaissance, Scaramuccia (literally “little skirmisher”), also known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a stock clown character of the Italian commedia dell’arte. The role combined characteristics of the zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice.
