Scaramucci was used as a pawn to oust Priebus. He was never a Trump loyalist. Originally a Scott Walker guy.
"We are in the midst of an ideological Civil War, one pitting American values of hope, empowerment and self-reliance against defeatist attitudes of fear, entitlement and victimization. Ronald Reagan lifted people up by prioritizing limited government, states’ rights, low taxes and free markets, but today’s GOP voters have responded most enthusiastically to candidates driving people apart with hate speech and alarmism. After winning only 27% of the Hispanic vote in 2012, Republican leadership set out an agenda to make the party more inclusive. Populist candidates have instead chosen to pander to disaffected voters by doubling down on nationalist rhetoric – and so far poll numbers appear to positively reinforce such a position."

"Anthony Scaramucci,
hired as the new White House communications director on Friday, hasn't always been a fan of President Donald Trump — and Trump apparently hasn't forgotten his former comments.
Before becoming a top Trump donor and surrogate, Scaramucci, an investment-firm founder, supported Republican presidential candidates Scott Walker and Jeb Bush — and didn't hesitate to bash Trump on national TV.
During an appearance on Fox Business in August 2015, Scaramucci called Trump a bully whose campaign would "eventually implode."
In response to Trump's criticism of hedge fund managers, who he said "move around papers," Scaramucci called Trump "a hack politician" and said his comments were "anti-American."
"He brings it up every 15 seconds," Scaramucci said of Trump. "One of the biggest mistakes that I have made because I was an unexperienced person in the world of politics. I was supporting another candidate, I should have never said that about him."
Scaramucci called Trump a 'hack' in 2015 and now says the president 'brings it up every 15 seconds'
