白宮向來作為美國政治權力的巔峰與象徵,但最近10天的種種亂象卻讓人看得目不暇給、眼花撩亂。在白宮發言人史派瑟掛冠、白宮幕僚長蒲博思遭到革職之後,這波人事風暴的起點——白宮新任公關主任史卡拉穆奇,7月31日竟然也被大老闆川普炒了魷魚,成為白宮團隊內部傾軋權鬥的最新祭品,這位口沒遮攔的川普幕僚,也成了史上最短命(10天)的白宮公關主任。
白宮新任公關主任史卡拉穆奇(Anthony Scaramucci)10天前才接下新職,除了鬥走發言人史派瑟,還槓上自己的上司、白宮幕僚長蒲博思,痛罵他是一個「他X的偏執狂精神分裂症患者」,撂話他馬上就會遭到革職。史卡拉穆奇以粗口發洩對白宮重要幕僚——蒲博思(前任白宮幕僚長)與巴農(白宮策略長)——的不滿,更是在媒體上鬧得滿城風雨。果不其然,川普28日就在推特(Twitter)上摘掉蒲博思的烏紗帽,宣布國土安全部長、退役陸戰隊四星上將凱利(John F. Kelly)接掌白宮幕僚長重任。
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.”
“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.’ ”
