Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has set up a political action committee in a bid to prevent Donald Trump’s re-election, saying in a Financial Times editorial that he broke with the US president to “save the liberal world order.â€
Scaramucci expressed regret over his past support of Trump, explaining a reversal of his position earlier this year that he would back Trump in his 2020 re-election campaign. In past weeks, Scaramucci has stepped up his criticism of Trump, and said in the opinion piece that his change of heart was partly related to the president’s treatment of NATO allies.
Trump cancelled a meeting with the PM of Denmark because she refused to discuss selling Greenland to
the US.
“This petulant narcissist also believes that he alone can fix the treaty,†Scaramucci wrote, referring to NATO. Scaramucci said he is “contrite†over his past support of Trump and that he fell into “a trap of sycophancy,†attributing it to the “human impulse†to please people in charge. He said his main concern is removing Trump from office.
Trump has responded on Twitter to criticism by Scaramucci by calling him “a
disgruntled former employee who got fired for gross incompetenceâ€.
