During a discussion of Anthony Scaramucci, soon expected to take up a new job as White House Communications Director, Deutsch was dismissive. Suggesting that the financier and Trump surrogate had zero skills for the job and called his work as manager of a fund of funds similar to a tire salesman.
Let me explain what Scaramucci does for a living. He ran of fund of funds, said Deutsch.
***
A fund of funds is somebody who basically raises, takes hedge fund money and kind of distributes it. Basically he is just going out and raising money. He will walk into a pension fund and go, invest $100 million with me. He is basically a salesman, a tire salesman.
***
He basically has no skill set in communications, which is like Jared Kushner, who has no skill set in negotiating in the Middle East. He has a guy thats a bright guy, very affable guy. Zero skills.

Spicey probably started updating his resume 30 seconds after they said he couldn't meet the Pope

Does this mean Spicer and Sarah Hucklberry Sanders are gone?

Spicey will quit at the one year mark anyway.

job that will not directly hurt anyone.
Unlike the new chief "scientist" at the USDA (Clovis), the PhD biochemist that had that position before ran the Iowa State Agricultural Experimental Station and was a chief researcher at Mars. Woteki had a strong background in university, government, and private agricultural based research.
Our country is going to Hell.
