Scaramucci says Trump aides are scared to confront him over tweets

Cabinet members and White House staffers are privately concerned about President Trump’s racially divisive tweets but are afraid to confront him, according to Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House communications director, in an interview for the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast.

Scaramucci said Trump needed to hear those points of view.

“If the president is now surrounded by people that are not going to tell him the truth, and they’re gonna confirm his biases, which may not be correct, that’s a recipe for disaster,” Scaramucci said. He called Republicans who won’t speak out against Trump’s tweets “fraidy cats.”

Democratic lawmakers have rebuked Trump for tweets telling four congresswomen of color to “go back” to their countries and describing Baltimore as a vermin-infested city unfit for people to live in. While Democrats forcefully called the statements racist, Republican leaders have largely been silent.

But yes men is what Trump wants.

He would also make it difficult, if not impossible to find another job. Trump is nothing, if not vindictive.

He has an inability to do self reflection. He blames others for any personal failures. He has respect for very few people and the people he respects tend to be authoritarian leaders of foreign countries.

2020 is going to be the most divisive campaign since the run up to the civil war.

Do they lie to him too? I thought Ivanka was the only "Donald whisperer" left at the White House.
