Scaramucci
Donald
Trump, our president, has a record of acting impulsively. He has now appointed
someone who outdoes even him at that game. (Game? Surely not.) Anthony
Scaramucci, just made Communications Director, has stepped in with both feet,
if without a head, and threatened to fire everyone in sight for leaking. True
or false about those alleged leakers—and in most cases that’s not been
established—it’s not what the country needs. Another lightweight full of ideas
about what not to do, without a glimpse of what should be done.
Trump’s
latest appointment appears to be as incompetent as his boss, just different in
the way he manifests it. Even more noisily, using a language that has not been
heard coming from the office of any president. There is one thing that is good
about all this. The appointment of
Scaramucci makes it very clear who Donald Trump is, to anyone who still had
illusions.
As for
the future, Der Krug geht zum Brunnen bis
a bricht, a favorite saying of my mother. The pitcher goes to the well until it breaks.
