This morning Trump took to Twitter to dump on Anthony Scaramucci, who the MSM apparently loves now because he’s taken a hard turn against Trump:
Anthony Scaramucci is a highly unstable “nut job” who was with other candidates in the primary who got shellacked, & then unfortunately wheedled his way into my campaign. I barely knew him until his 11 days of gross incompetence-made a fool of himself, bad on TV. Abused staff,…

“Wrote a very nice book about me just recently. Now the book is a lie?” is probably the best part of Trump’s tweet above, suggesting how desperate the media have become that they will use people who are literally hypocrites.
Trump also tweeted this morning about the “great cohesion” inside the Republican Party:
Great cohesion inside the Republican Party, the best I have ever seen. Despite all of the Fake News, my Poll Numbers are great. New internal polls show them to be the strongest we’ve had so far! Think what they’d be if I got fair media coverage!
