The Trump White House just went full reality TV

By Aaron Blake at the Washington Post

"SNIP.............


If Thursday morning is any indication about what the Scaramucci Era will look like, it will make the first six months of the Trump administration look tranquil.

The new White House communications director just called into a morning show and suggested that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, who would be his boss in any normal West Wing, may be behind the leaks that are plaguing the administration. He also mused openly about their strained relationship and suggested the president may have to decide between them.

What's more, he did it all in response to a story written by a reporter who says nobody leaked anything to her, as Scaramucci had alleged.

There's a lot to unpack here, but here are the basics: Scaramucci phoned in to CNN's “New Day” program to respond to the New Yorker's Ryan Lizza, who had reported that Scaramucci was fingering Priebus for the leaks.

I'm pretty sure Liotta knows he's just doing a role. I don't think The Mooch does.
