During the brief moment that he was White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci authored a memo detailing his plans for an overhaul of the West Wing staff culture, including “professionalizing initiatives” that included always treating people “respectfully”.

The so-called “communications plan”, which was published Wednesday by right-wing media personality Mike Cernovich, called for the White House press office to “professionalize” its operations and make more use of Donald Trump’s senior counselor, Kellyanne Conway.

“Implement a series of professionalizing initiatives immediately,” Scaramucci, who lasted just over a week on the job, wrote.

“For example, no [White House] communication staffer goes home without returning all calls, emails, and texts. People may not like our answers – but they should always be treated professionally and respectfully (obviously, this starts with the new Director of Communications).”

1. How can he "professionalize" anything when he's everything but professional?

7. it's a joke

more like thuggerizing the role. Scary Moochy is a gangster. A Harvard degree doesn't make him any less of one. It rather cheapens the institution that granted it. Dubya was also a Harvard graduate.

9. Ted Cruz & Tom Cotton were grads too

2. Certainly not a fan of "practice what you preach" is he

Professionalize my ass.... nothing whatsoever is, nor ever will be, professional about the clown show currently occupying the White House.

3. Support the initiative

minus Kelly Ann Conway and Trump

Trump probably heard about it and that's why he was fired

4. HA! How ironic...a beast who calls the other staff vulgar names & wrongly accuses them of crimes...

has a plan to professionalize the staff and treat others respectfully. That's rich!

5. "For example,

no White House] communication staffer goes home without returning all calls, emails, and texts. People may not like our answers – but they should always be treated professionally and respectfully.”

He then added, "got that you fuckin cocksuckers? You'll be fucking respectful or fucking fired you whiny bunch of paranoiacs!"

6. I truly love this one

“For example, no [White House] communication staffer goes home without returning all calls, emails, and texts. People may not like our answers – but they should always be treated professionally and respectfully (obviously, this starts with the new Director of Communications).”

A genuine gem

8. Certainly

the words Kellyanne Conway and professionalize do not belong in the same sentence. And Trump...
