Scaramucci Fights To Be This Season's Apprentice Winner
Folks say Anthony Scaramucci had a crazy week at the White House.
No.Scaramouche understands that President Trump is psychologically, physically and emotionally conditioned to run his life on a weekly basis according to the schedule of his former reality The Apprentice.
The Apprentice week begins and ends with a task for a group of jockeying contestants.
The week ends with task completed or not completed to the satisfaction of the President. The professional stock of the contestants rises or falls.
A major contender advances. A loser wannabe falls by the side.
The ratings of each show are closely followed by Trump, who is willing to sex the program up to maintain and improve ratings.
Reince Priebus failed to appreciate that all staff are and always will be perpetual Apprentices who never actually graduate to full partnership alongside Trump; and he was lousy before the cameras. Priebus should have realised that everyone, no matter their title or wealth, is subservient to Trump, and that his poor acting ability was not good for ratings and reflected badly on the boss’s ability to recognise and promote star talent.
Anthony Scaramucci understood the weekly Apprentice schedule and his task perfectly. He entered the show, grabbed all the media attention, hit his fellow competitors hard and completed his public and private tasks on time. Scaramucci had two tasks to perform. one public, one private.
Scaramucci 's public task was to clean up the communications team; his private task was to wrest control of the White House staff from Reince Priebus and he succeeded with flying colours.
So, Scaramucci survives for another week.
A new Apprentice, John F. Kelly, has joined the white House team.
Let’s see how Kelly is doing after his first Friday weekend, and let’s see how Scaramucci deals with another star performer who understands that in Apprentice-land “there can only be one”.
