Scaramucci fast accruing power in White House

The Scaramucci era has begun at the White House, and Trump World is buzzing about the Priebus era coming to an end.

New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has fast become one of the most powerful people in the West Wing, putting allies of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus on edge. 

Priebus and press secretary Sean Spicer, both veterans of the Republican National Committee (RNC), vehemently opposed adding Scaramucci to the White House staff, leading Spicer to abruptly announce his resignation on Friday.
Spicer’s impending departure leaves Priebus without his key ally, sparking more speculation about his future as President Trump’s top aide.

In a brief interview with The Hill, Scaramucci played down the idea that he is taking power at Priebus’s expense.

I would not be surprised if Mucho Scary ends up as Chief of Staff when all is said and done.

That's a level of job stress that feels like it'd kill any future employment.
