Scaramucci Describes Trump Campaign as a ‘Civil War’: ‘Things Are in Disarray’

The 2024 presidential campaign of Donald Trump, once a powerhouse of loyalty and control, is now experiencing internal turmoil, according to former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci. In a recent interview, Scaramucci depicted the campaign as embroiled in a ‘civil war,’ with factions within the team clashing over direction and strategy.

Host Nicole Wallace cited a report, arguing, “The entire architecture of the Trump campaign [had been] about the ageism and the slurs that they planned to lob against Joe Biden… there wasn’t a plan B.” From the outside, Trump’s campaign might still project its usual confidence, but Scaramucci’s insider view reveals a different narrative. According to him, “That’s one of his moves.

He put all of his teammates in there. He’s flying around privately with the leader of the Heritage Foundation. It doesn’t poll well, and then he says what he always says, ‘I don’t even know these people. Never met these people.'” The root of the campaign’s troubles, as Scaramucci pointed out, lies in a critical shift—or rather, a lack of one—in its strategy. Initially, the campaign’s focus was on attacking Biden’s age.

As per Raw Story, However, when faced with the possibility of running against Vice President Kamala Harris, the Trump campaign seemed unprepared and without a backup plan. This absence of a ‘Plan B’ has reportedly left key advisers like Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita scrambling, uncertain of their roles and futures within the campaign. Scaramucci explained, “And so there’s a civil war going on inside the campaign. Those people are after Susie and Chris.

As per Huff Post, Susie and Chris are looking and saying, ‘We could have an expiration date on our jobs now.’ …things are in disarray. He is calling around to his old campaign teams, people from ’16 and ’20 and he’s socializing ideas with them and that’s why he’s on time-delay… If he starts saying his crowds are bigger than Taylor Swift, then you know we’re in real psychotic territory.”

A long-time critic of Trump, Scaramucci recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his disdain. He wrote, “Trump’s view is to convert the United States into an oligarchic state. That is his go-to form of leadership. His rich acolytes believe that democracy is too messy, and the average person is not capable of being involved in decision-making… these supposed know-it-all oligarchs should be running things, and of course, they should be getting richer and more powerful.”

Scaramucci further remarked, “I am not sure what is going happen in the election, but it feels like Trump isn’t just going to be defeated. It’s not clear to me that Trump will be the standing candidate for the Republicans in November. He is very weak. He is very old, he is very brutal, and his act has grown very tired at a time when the American demography wants better leadership and wants more inclusive leadership.”
