President Trump dodged the punch from his former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci over the weekend.

The President accused his former director of doing whatever it takes to stay in the public spotlight after being fired.

President Trump tweeted,

“Anthony Scaramucci, who was quickly terminated (11 days) from a position that he was totally incapable of handling, now seems to do nothing but television as the all-time expert on ‘President Trump.’ Like many other so-called television experts, he knows very little about me,” Trump wrote.

“Other than the fact that this Administration has probably done more than any other Administration in its first 2 1/2 years of existence. Anthony, who would do anything to come back in, should remember the only reason he is on TV, and it’s not for being the Mooch!”

Scaramucci replied to the President’s tweets with his own insult,

“For the last 3 years I have fully supported this President,” he wrote on Sunday. “Recently he has said things that divide the country in a way that is unacceptable. So I didn’t pass the 100% litmus test. Eventually he turns on everyone and soon it will be you and then the entire country.”

According to Fox News,

Scaramucci called Trump’s visit to El Paso, Texas, a “catastrophe” this past Thursday during an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, and predicted Trump would eventually respond via Twitter.

“He probably would be mad at somebody for saying that. Maybe he’ll tweet something negative about somebody for saying he didn’t do well, but facts are he did not do well on the trip because if the trip is being made about him and not the demonstration of compassion and love and caring and empathy for those people, then it becomes a catastrophe for him, the administration, and it’s also a bad reflection on the country,” he said.
