Scaramucci's effusive praise of Trump sounded more appropriate for Kim Jong-un,

the dictator of North Korea, instead of an American president.

The North Korean people have no choice, they are expected to praise the Dear Leader and hero worship Kim Jong-un, the most perfect man in the world. He is reportedly the best athlete in the world, and a star of the sporting arena. His biography claims that the first time he picked up a golf club, he shot a 38-under par round that included no fewer than 11 holes in one. Satisfied with his amazing performance, Kim Jong-un immediately declared his retirement from the sport. So says his state propaganda machine.

Scaramucci lost no time in lavishing similar gushing praise on Trump, oiling the squealing cogs of Trump's Rube-Goldberg propaganda apparatus. “I have seen this guy throw a dead spiral through a tire. I’ve seen him at Madison Square Garden with a topcoat on, he’s standing in the key, he’s hitting foul shots and swishing them. He sinks three-foot putts.” Anyone impressed?

Kim Jong-un needs lies and falsehoods to prop up his rule, just like Trump needs the special services of Anthony Scaramucci to buff his monstrous ego. The American people need facts, transparency, and truthfulness.

I'd like to see the tape on that! The Mooch has a great stylist and hair products ... sadly he has proven himself to be a turncoat hypocrite.

...of Trump awkwardly throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game? He looked like he was going to bite his tongue off and his posture and arm positioning were very awkward.

I call BS on this.

no praise too high! We must worship him. He is a God. He created the Universe. He created us in His Image. The Pope needs to make him Saint Donald. Perhaps Autocrat of All Americas is called for.

Dictators require complete praises at all time for their ego. Sad.

But what would be more helpful would be what kind of leadership skills does tRump possess. From what I have seen, he couldn't lead his way out of a wet paper bag. My 12 year old granddaughter has more business acumen with her lemonade stand than trumpolini has. I am not sure what his sports skills have to do with being president but from the view of other people, trump cheats at golf, is so flabby and out of shape he is forced to ride in a motorized cart while all the other G 20 leaders strolled up the lane and wears loafers because he is too fat to tie his shoes. Ok, I just made up that last part. All except the "being too fat to tie his own shoes."

Scarri---hope you didn't bite off more than you can chew. But I must admit seeing you crash and burn will be almost as much fun as watching tRump flame out and turn into a cinder.
