Anthony Scaramucci unveils new media venture – but he's not quite sure what it is
The hedge-fund millionaire who lasted 10 days as Trump’s communications chief is back with – ta-dah! – the Scaramucci Post. Just don’t ask him to explain it

Anthony Scaramucci, the New York hedge-fund millionaire who lasted 10 days as Donald Trump’s White House communications director, spent almost all of Monday unveiling his latest venture: a media company called the Scaramucci Post.
The only problem was that by 9pm, after a launch party in a fancy New York City restaurant and day spent broadcasting on a Periscope live feed, it was not entirely clear what Scaramucci was launching.
The Scaramucci Post is for millennials, he told reporters at the Hunt and Fish Club, the restaurant he part-owns. It will occupy the “centre lane” in a media world he describes as a “two-way highway”, offering “everything in moderation, including moderation”. The Scaramucci Post will seek to highlight the positives in politics and serve the public interest but it will also definitely make money.
“I’m an entrepreneur,” said Scaramucci, who had been due to hold a full-scale launch party and had asked journalists seeking invitations to tweet at the Scaramucci Post Twitter feed, using the hashtag “#MoochIWantToParty”
