This whole thing feels like a descent into madness.
�They�ll all be fired by me,� he said. �I fired one guy the other day. I have three to four people I�ll fire tomorrow. I�ll get to the person who leaked that to you. Reince Priebus�if you want to leak something�he�ll be asked to resign very shortly.� The issue, he said, was that he believed Priebus had been worried about the dinner because he hadn�t been invited. �Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,� Scaramucci said. He channelled Priebus as he spoke: � �Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the fucking thing and see if I can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.� � (Priebus did not respond to a request for comment.)"[...]�The swamp will not defeat him,� he said, breaking into the third person. �They�re trying to resist me, but it�s not going to work. I�ve done nothing wrong on my financial disclosures, so they�re going to have to go fuck themselves.�Scaramucci also told me that, unlike other senior officials, he had no interest in media attention. �I�m not Steve Bannon, I�m not trying to suck my own cock,� he said, speaking of Trump�s chief strategist. �I�m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I�m here to serve the country.� (Bannon declined to comment.)
