Here’s more:
Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, resigned on Friday morning, telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with the appointment of the New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.
Mr. Trump offered Mr. Scaramucci the job at 10 a.m. The president requested that Mr. Spicer stay on, but Mr. Spicer told Mr. Trump that he believed the appointment was a major mistake, according to a person with direct knowledge of the exchange.
Doesn’t sound very amicable to me which is not the way I would have thought it to end.
So I can’t wait until Trump gives an interview or tweets about how terrible Spicey was!
UPDATE:
Spicer made it six months and one day as White House press secretary.

I'm told Spicer is "really upset" but was in the room as Reince introduced Scaramucci as new comms director and gave him round of applause.

Reince Priebus tells @DanaBashCNN he supports Anthony Scaramucci "100%." "All good here."
