#Trump #Grifter #Crypto
Why do you give these Trump guys a platform and a mic? They were part of this grifting, got their share plus some lucrative deals, so stop making them the pundits they aren’t. Disgusting.
the mooch’s tie knot is way to big in relation to his head. C’mon dude
He can do whatever he wants he’s the Orange daddio and Tom Fitton of Judicial Washup and the Fecal society $$ says so
The mooch does not pay taxes. He is scamming the government and all of you. He is living off your money like a leech.
I can’t believe anyone would believe Anthony Scaramucci about anything. He’s been a scam artist his whole life. Ya he’s not upset about losing billions of dollars…he still made money. He was fired by trump within 10 days at the White House because he has always hated Trump. It’s impossible to get good advice from someone who openly hates someone and impossible to get advice from a thief in regards to money. He knew it was a scam , nobody would trust their own money with Sam…the guy was a loser(gamer) and look at his girlfriend..omg! Just occasionally loses money and laughs? They were all part of the scam..they all were involved…don’t be naive!
Just another rightwing redemption tour. First he supported Drump and then SBF! Another religious fool who is easily deceived
Mooch seems to have bad taste in humans that he trusts n”est ce pas? Trump? SBF? But he’s saying some true stuff here, looking back.
How many genders are there again? 🤔
Why are you obsesssed with genitalia again?
Where did these Crypto people learn these grifts (using OPM, or “other people’s money”)? From the banks themselves. To this very day, our own American Banks are still over-leveraged… as there’s no real governance. The three banks that just went BK and had to be bailed out, should have been playing by the rules that were put in place after 2007-2008. Unfortunately, everyone ignored Elizabeth Warren’s warnings that Trump had relaxed the rules that were put in place when Obama/Biden had to fix the largest loss of wealth in our Country’s history. There was over $6 Trillion in losses in investment, real estate, savings, home losses, etc… and this is the mess that Obama/Biden inherited in 2008. The GOP’s only plan is for the rich to stay rich and donate enough money to the GOP Politicians to stay in power to keep this separation of wealth growing exponentially wider. The Pandemic was/is now the largest transfer of wealth in our Country’s history. Rich people got 5-6 times richer… while the Middle Class was executed. We’re just waiting on the Coroner’s Report, Funeral, and Burial to take place. Try buying a home or getting a job that can support the highest rent prices in history? You just can’t anymore… without going further in debt on your Credit Cards.
scar is suuuuper stupid !! very stupid errogant person kept advertizing for crypto and look at the humiliation now
Trump is a grifter. Sheesh, how rich is this???? The Biden’s have CLEARLY been engaged in, at the very least, quid pro quo activities but Trump is the grifter. Difference is the Biden’s are something significantly larger than simple petty grifters. The old axiom still holds true, when it comes to leftists, the truth always resides in the exact opposite direction of what they’re saying.
I think we have all been misled, fooled or deceived at some point in our lives. The best and brightest among us can also be misled, fooled and deceived. Hopefully most of us are not criminals and will not become corrupt and not mislead, fool and deceive people for personal benefits and profits.
Even if fooling and deceiving people will make a company’s products sell better, I am not sure they are doing anybody any favors. Just be honest! You will get more respect and loyalty and be remembered in a favourable way. Even if being honest will cost you some sales or reduce your profit. It is still better for your company and for the economy in the long run.
Not only Rupert Murdoch but, I think most Americans including Sam Bankmen Freed and Donald Trump understand that their culture and society is really not about the “red” or “blue” politics. It is about the “green” about the money! And if you can figure out how to get away with lying, cheating, stealing, deceiving, even abusing and threatening others and even murder, it is acceptable and OK as long as you can make money doing it and not get caught. It is a lifestyle that many will aspire to achieve and not just in America. You can even be remembered in history long after you are dead for being a good criminal and many will admire you for what you did and try to follow in your footsteps.
I think the idea of democratic governments and capitalism are the way forward but I also think capitalism has kind of neglected some responsibilities and turned a blind eye on some of the deceptions that are used to fool people about products, services and investments. Some of the ideas of capitalism need to be amended. Capitalism needs to encourage much more honesty, truth, and fairness and move away from the idea that greed is somehow beneficial for society and for an economy. The more honest and truth there is the less government and the less laws and regulation will be needed.
I hope that there will always be a majority of humans on this planet that value humane life and think that the wellbeing of others benefits everyone.
Grifter. Love it. Believe it.
This isn’t news to the 70% of us, and his supporters will never have the brains to realize it as fact! They live in an alternate world.
Donald Trump is a known grifter. GOP are known grifters. _But what is the _*_largest and worst grift of them all?_* *RELIGION*
AS is a good dude, IMHO…
i like that he fesses to error.
Does the Taliban support Trump or biden?
Lol, Scooch is one to talk about grifting…..
Trumps sociopathic nature was obvious when you worked for him, yet you chose to ignore it.
Please folks, stop listening to tv news and start listening in on senate and congressional sessions. That’s the only way to find out what’s really happening to our country!
Scaramucci is a grifter too! Why are you interviewing grifters who are using your shows to grift $$!!
Scaramucci is an apologist for grifters.
Imagine, Anthony Scaramoosepit who worked for Clownald Tdumbp talking about him *Tdump), when he worked in the White House he was defending the head clown!!!
He can say he did all of these amazing things and his supporters never stop to question it.
This Harvard educated guy seems to get duped by people with weird hair.
So Mr Scamamucci, why did you decide to go work for the former #fakepresident ?
He would know a grifter he is one !!!!?
Yawn. This isn’t news.
I love it when these people with TDS try to apply their own failures to Trump!
So you fell for two grifters
The Mooch frustrates me. He is smart and self-aware . The frustrating part is that he knew Pres Trump was a grifter going in and still decided to take the position.
MOOOOOOOOOOOOCH
For sure he’s a grifter. (Con Man)
To me, it’s really hard to listen and worse to take advice from a guy that’s part of the company of person like Trump but point taken, he was in the same room of these criminals, but point taken
Mark Zuckerburg? No he was the E holmes of Crypto. And like PT barnum said 100 yrs ago theres a sucker born every minute. Its as true today as it was then. These rich people SMH.
LOL. SCARAMUCCHI IS A LAUGHINGSTOCK, AS ARE YOU!!!
I’M SO GLAD YOU ARE LEAVING TV FOR A WHILE. SO DONE WITH THE FASCIST COLLABORATION!!!
One thing about Scaramucci I always admire is his ability to admit when he was wrong. It goes a very long way of earning respect and even being more credible than the serial denialism that is taking precedence in DC. Facing your failures as a means to learn and be better IS foundational to being American.
He does so because he knows contrition goes a long way to burnish his rightly sullied public image. He’s a player, and he wouldn’t admit he was wrong unless he perceives doing so would benefit himself.
@dboatrig you may be right that he is looking for an edge to gain an advantage. I think everyone on these platforms are. But I still appreciate these conversations which are more humane and at least feel honest. I find it more refreshing than the constant gaslighting of deny deny deny that doesn’t open up the conversation for any sort of intellectual reflection.
He admits he’s wrong because whether he’s saying crude and idiotic things to reporters as press secretary or being conned by Sam he needs to save face. He turned on Trump because his fund needed influx of cash and MAGA doesn’t have the “Wall Street dollars.” He’s a 🥜🧠 another example the movie Wall Street 2 which was a bomb he paid million or so dollars to have SkyBridge on a billboard. Mooch will say whatever you pay him to
I like Anthony. He seems to be very straight. I thought his observation about Trump being meaner than other grifters he knows very interesting.
NBC must be scrapping the bottom of the barrel for people that can say something bad about Trump whether it is true or not. So, tell me NBC when are you going to start covering Biden & all of the grifting that man & his family have done? He’s been grifting in the the world of politics since he began. But that doesn’t really matter does it?
Are you kidding me, trumps the only one that can get us out of this mess, we lived much better than bidens mess!
Aren’t you talking about yourself. Clown.
Best interview with Scaramucci I’ve ever seen. He comes across as so intelligent and honest in it.
He’s certainly got some people fooled, doesn’t he.
Lol
I don’t feel sorry for Scarymuchi!!
Ah! Mooch!
America, you are two third grifters.
Few are astute enough to suss this out, but it takes backbone and courage to avoid them and expose them to protect others-which none did.
Aw, The Mooch. “Brilliant and flawed..” He would know.
Why should anyone trust Scaramucci? He was duped by Trump; then he was duped by crypto, both of which were inherently unstable and untrustworthy.
Geez, guys! What a bait and switch! Just had to headline Trump…for the last minute throw away question. Really?
💨 THZ B👀GER BANDIT WZ D🤭WN WIT DA BS
T👀
Listen Grifters… You couldn’t hold President Trump’s jockstrap… 😅
Great interview!
No need for the “political” qualifier. Sociopathy and sociopathic behaviors are the same in the public eye as they are in the back office. It’s important to say this because for every poor schmuck who gets thrown under the bus in the public eye, hundreds of thousands are victimized in everyday workplace situations. We coddle these predators and look the other way when they strike. That’s why nature keeps producing them. It counts every victory and doesn’t know right from wrong.
Always so interesting & enlightening to hear what Anthony has to say.
Thanx for sharing & being on the ball (even if I don’t understand it, I get the drift. 🆒)
Says the little man criminal 🤣🤣
The mooch is back!
Im pretty sure this is a conversation about sam bankman fried. Not trump
Like any true “Snake Oil Salesman”, Trump is at the top of Grifters!!!
The snakes head of the Guns Over People party 😅
Don likes to intentionally hurt people. I’m betting that don and Jeff savaged a young girl on the island. I wonder how many they buried at sea? Both are vicious enough to do that sort of thing.
Yup, and yet Trump is a national superhero compared to any Democrats.
Unfortunately, the problem is crypto itself. There’s really no there there. And the landscape is fraught with scammers and con artists. I don’t trust crypto as far as I can spit. The people involved even less so.
Duh 🙄 yea
Lock him and his cronies up.
Duh.
Cool show!
Is this supposed to be breaking news??
Anyone who follows Trump has some serious critical thinking issues. I know 2 trumpers at work and they are horrible managers because they lack common sense.
“Friends of ours.”?
I heard him say on another show (Scarramuchi) said he would vote for Trump again. I don’t know about this guy?? 😮
Good story.
Crypto is a scam and is detrimental to the US economy and the US Dollar, which is the world’s leading and most stable currency!
Trump is in a grifting class all by himself. He has no equal.
then why’d you consent to work for him?
Scaramucci is too sharp for Trumps BS. I always say don’t bull$hit the bull$hitter….. Scaramucci is the best.
“GEE, IF ONLY SCARAMUCCI had known this BEFORE HE WILLINGLY defended, praised and worked for Trump! (sarcasm!)..I mean how could he have possibly known who and what trump was beforehand! (sarcasm!)…Who knew Scaramucci was deaf, dumb and blind and lived in a cave!….
Scaramucci is a grifter too and joined Team Trump to tag along on the big grift. Chuck Todd is the worst giving Trumpers a platform to white wash history.
True, I’ve been victimized by trump’s character demoralizing&destruction unit. My online stuff all gone😁
Anthony couldn’t cut it at the White House…a woman scorned!
What a lightweight disgraced shell of a man.
@6:10, Scaramucci was just about to reveal something & was interrupted; another Chuck T. move.
He ought to know. ROFL
Why does anyone believe a thing this turd says? He was willingly complicit in Trump’s machine. No one cares if you got duped by the cryptocurrency scam, unless it’s in the form of schadenfreude. Go away.
Ha ha yeah ok 🤦♂️
Yes he is fool but you were his supporter fool I 😂as way to smart for that
The Mooch flies Jet Blue? No private jet? No first class on Delta?
I love “The Mooch”! I miss his podcast
Mr Scaramuchi was an ardent supporter and spokesman for Drumph. He claims to be in the dark about Drumpf’s vile, racist behavior
Hard to believe
Another repugnant Republican who will go along with anything as long as huge tax breaks in store for the investor class.
We won’t forget the Russian collusion hoax. That’s the real news.
Scaramucci is irrelevant. He worked for Trump because he is just like Trump the grifter.
Sadly, Meet the Press doesn’t know enough facts to hold Scaramucci accountable: The books weren’t pristine and he did not do his due diligence.
All lies, look at Saramucci, his cute little sneakers. He proved himself in 11 days to be same or more ridiculous than the odious Trump. Why is he a reference now, they are a gang of thieves. All of them. Capable of unspeakable crimes, I grew up in NY, everyone knew, nobody stopped them.
Scaramooch calling somebody else a grifter? Now that is rich!
Scaramooch Scaramooch 😹
The Mooch!
