DONALD TRUMP COMPARED TO PIG THAT 'WILL PULL YOU INTO THE MUD' IN NICKNAME FIGHT, BY SCARAMUCCI

BY JESSICA KWONG ON 2/9/19 AT 4:57 PM

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci compared President Donald Trump to a pig—in a favorable way—when asked who he thought would be the strongest Democratic candidate for the 2020 election.

Scaramucci, who was fired from the West Wing after only 10 days, said on iHeartRadio’s The Domenick Nati Show on Thursday that he thinks former New York Mayor and Democratic billionaire Michael Bloomberg is “the one person that the president would wish he didn’t have to run against because the mayor’s loaded with dough.”

The former communications director added that Bloomberg “understands this president very well” and that he would not get into a fight with Trump he would have the disadvantage in.

“You can’t fight the president in the nicknaming business. You know what they say about a pig,” Scaramucci said. “Can’t fight a pig, the pig will pull you into the mud, drag you around, you get muddy and bloody and the pig won’t.”

These billionaires can't help themselves from being autocrats and, he cheated his way into an illegal 3rd term for Mayor of NYC. Plus, any recce from Scaramucci is a non-starter as far as I'm concerned.

Although he is right about Individual 1 being a pig.

It's not that the pig won't, it's that you'll be miserable but the pig will enjoy it.

Donald's challenger will have no trouble raising money for his/her campaign. A lot of people hate Donald and would do just about anything to get rid of his ass. Bloomberg is just not that popular, anyway. The soda regulations in NYC are enough to scare off the people he needs to vote for him.
