Forgetting for a minute the irony of Donald Trump serving as an anonymous source for his own administration after months of chastising the media for citing anonymous sources, Scaramucci’s admission reopens the question of just how delicate Donald Trump’s ego is. Reporters have long speculated whether Trump himself was responsible for some of the leaks emanating first from his campaign, and then from his White House.

Yeah but tons of people actually like Trump's persona, not really so for Zuck other than a handful of weirdos in SV. His best hope is to use Facebook manipulation to win.

I'm gonna get crucified for this but, Zuck is a nerd and a policy wonk, just like Hillary was. That said, we just don't know how he would play to a national audience until he's actually on that stage and asking for votes.

Anthony Scaramucci has been on the job for less than 72 hours, and on Sunday he made his first appearance on the news talk shows as White House communications director. It did not go well.

On CNN’s State of the Union, host Jake Tapper pressed Scaramucci about Donald Trump’s continued insistence that the ever-growing Russia scandal was “fake news.” After questioning whether Trump was planning to sign a bipartisan bill imposing fresh sanctions against Russia for meddling in the November presidential election, Scaramucci instead sought to again cast doubt on the legitimacy of the U.S. intelligence community, and initially used an anonymous source to do it.

“There’s a lot of disinformation out there,” said Scaramucci. “Somebody said to me yesterday—I won’t tell you who—that if the Russians actually hacked this situation and spilled out those emails, you would have never seen it, you would have never had any evidence of them.”

An incredulous Tapper cut him off, pointing out that this anonymous source was breaking from every single intelligence agency in asserting that Russia’s involvement was in dispute. That’s all it took for Scaramucci to throw his boss under the bus.

“How ‘bout it was the president, Jake,” said Scaramucci of his anonymous source. “I talked to him yesterday, he called me from Air Force One, and he basically said to me ‘hey you know, maybe they did it, maybe they didn’t do it.’”
