Conjecture time: Why did The Mooch only last ten days?

[jmowreader]

Mine: He attempted to overthrow Trump. "Yeah, Donnie Two Scoops...you might think you're the president, but you're really not. I am now. You'll do what I say, sign what I say, say only what I tell you to say, and not tweet unless I say you can. I control you. I am your new master now."

Not even Trump could stand that.

11. Love it!

2. My guess

Kelly didn't want him. Who would?

[Hamlette]

4. that's my guess too, but. . .

we know from the diatribe against Manafort that Trump doesn't like to be told what to do. He seemed to love Mucci, Ivanka apparently lobbied to hire him and someone has been trying to hire him for 6 months (blocked by Spicer he seemed to imply). So why would he do what Kelly told him to do?

Or were those the grounds upon which Kelly agreed to take the position. That is possible.

9. Heard on NPR that Mooch originally had direct access to Trump, but Kelly...

said a condition of his taking the job was that no one else had direct access-- the way it had always been.

Kelly or Mooch? Not a tough choice.

[Hamlette]

20. ah, thanks for the info

[Doodley]

3. CNN did it. The Mini-me report that pointed out that Trump had hired another version of himself.

5. Fear of tangled interests perhaps...sale of Skybridge Capital by mooch??

Mooch never made it to the govt payroll....Found a nugget piece in NYT 1/31/2017...China too close for comfort..?? - This article really could be dissected into many stories....so much info....so if you missed it...

.....snip.....

Anthony Scaramucci, a flamboyant former campaign fund-raiser for Mr. Trump whom the president has appointed as the White House liaison to the business community, has been in limbo for more than a week since he agreed to sell his investment firm to a subsidiary of the Chinese conglomerate, HNA Group.

Mr. Scaramucci is on the job but has yet to be sworn in, partly because of concerns about the Jan. 17 deal, according to two administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss personnel matters.

6. He only lasted 10 day because his only motivation for working for Trump was self-promotion

And there is only one person Trump allows to be promoted and that is himself. Scaramucci grabbed one to many headlines and was shown the door.

Now let the bad mouthing and backstabbing begin

[NewJeffCT]

7. Brought him in to distract from the Trump Russia Collusion story?

wasn't there somebody big testifying last week that didn't make any major news outlets because The Mooch sucked all the air out of the room?

[tblue37]

8. No, Kelly made it a condition: he wouldn't take the CoS job unless Mooch was removed. nt

12. That's my bet, too.

[tblue37]

15. It is what has been reported. nt

[Alea]

13. General Kelly spit shined his jump boots on moochis arse

He might do the same with trump. Probably have him doing some push ups during his normal tweet time.

[Adrahil]

19. Yep, the timing is unmistakable. NT

[Egnever]

10. My guess his pals Ivanka and Jared

Wanted to do him a solid and get him a big tax break. Was never about the job.

14. This season of White House Apprentice needed an exciting! plot twist?

Dear God, how many more episodes do we have to suffer through?

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I bet that's it!

[XRubicon]

16. trump thought everything was fine until Kelly fired mooch

trump thought he made "the best" move bringing in scumucci- he is clueless.

We now have president Kelly.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Maybe he didn't say he loved Trump enough?
