Scaramucci Compares Trump to Rev. Jim Jones

Anthony Scaramucci compared President Trump to the Rev. Jim Jones, the cult leader who led hundreds to their death Jonestown, Guyana, in 1978.

Said Scarmucci: “It’s like a hostage crisis inside the White House and the hostages have Stockholm Syndrome. Donald Trump as Rev. Jim Jones. When will it break?”

Unfortunately, Trump is in positions to take orders of magnitude more people with him.

But there are some folks in this great country of ours who will find Scaramucci a more credible critic of the Trump administration than other, saner, smarter voices. Anything that helps crack Trump is welcome by me.

I don't care if they were once on his side, as long as they are against him today and are a major thorn in his side, I will accept their criticism of him.

It doesn't mean that I like or admire him, just that I happen to realize the value of yet another former lackey turning against "The Chosen One". Knowing how Trump reacts to disloyalty, this must really get under his skin.

The guy's a fucking failure even by Trump-league standards. Who cares what he has to say?
