Anthony Scaramucci: Trump and the Humiliation That Made Him Famous

For a brief moment in 2017, Anthony Scaramucci became a unit of
time. His 11-day stint as White House communications director was
so short-lived that it entered the political lexicon.

Almost a decade on, he has proven more durable than the joke. The
Trump loyalist-turned-critic, Wall Street financier and podcast
host remains a well-known figure in American political
culture.

Scaramucci is still holding forth on the US president he once
backed, as well as bets that have shaped his own career,
including on crypto and Sam Bankman-Fried.

In this conversation with Mishal Husain, Scaramucci talks about
his early life, his mistakes and his view of the political
landscape ahead of the midterm elections.
