Anthony Scaramucci has become the shortest serving member of Trump's administration, with less than two weeks, as head of communications. But despite his short tenure, he managed to cause enough controversy to last a lifetime.
Last week he hit the headlines after an expletive laden phone call with a journalist from the New Yorker, where he described the then White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus as a paranoid schizophrenic and referred to himself as 'The Mooch'.
In a statment last night, spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says The President felt the comments were inappropriate.
Scaramucci was dismissed as Trump's new Chief of Staff John Kelly took up office, and it's being claimed that it was his decision to drop 'The Mooch'.
But Trump was obviously in support of the move, tweeting this after the news was announced.
A great day at the White House!

It hasn't been a great few weeks for Scaramucci professionally, but it has also been a tough period personally.
