Does it appear to anyone else that 'mooch & trump'

are ridiculously similar to Key & Peele comedy sketch, 'Obama & His Anger Translator' only this is arguably not a comedy sketch.

mooch already reproduces trump's movements and even his speech patterns like he has been practicing for months in heady anticipation of his new job. Mooch's actual thought processes already seem to be morphing into the narcissistic, thoughtless & paranoid perceptions of his new BFF on Capitol Hill.

Is scaramucci trump's anger (and stupidity) translator?

And the bigger question may be "Is scaramucci auditioning for Chief of Staff?

nailed Trump-speak. I wonder if they're working together to get Reince out, which can then help them get Sessions, and then Mueller out.

what moochie is doing is called mirroring. You start by using the same body language of the other person and using the same vernacular. If he leans in you lean in, he clasps his hands you clasp yours. Subconsciously, the person starts recognizing you as “just like me”. He gets comfortable and starts relaxing. At this point you start leading with body language, getting him to start mirroring you. He doesn’t realize he is being led. You can then, hopefully, start guiding him to answer the questions regarding the reason for the interview. This appears to be what moochie is doing. He is making Il dicktater for the time being, feel safe, comfortable, and thinking moochie is a trustworthy friend. moochie is setting something up that can not be good for the nation.

Namely, that Mooch is very intelligent or that he has any actual clue what he's doing.

I think it's more just a simple case of monkey see monkey do. Even toddlers do that.
