ANDm 2017, Anthony Scaramucci was reported to have been spokesman for the White House in Donald Trump's first term for only 10 days. Now that her ‘remember’ has been beaten – since Katie Zacharia was removed last Friday after five days – the New Yorker reacted on the X: “ The records are there to be broken. But I have no pleasure in the suffering of others”.
Knowing well what it's like to be fired from office shortly after taking over, Anthony Scaramucci made another publication on the same social network where he left Katie Zacharia a ‘advisor’: “Dear Katie, speaking as the world’s leading expert on short passes through the White House: turn off the news and enjoy your family.”
“ In time, you will realize that the Universe has done you a huge favor”, he added, on 16 october.
Records are made to be broken. But I take no pleasure in other people’s pain.

Dear @katiezacharia — speaking as the world’s leading expert on short White House tenures: turn off the news and go enjoy your family. In time you’ll realize that the Universe did you a major favor.

To recall that the new White House spokesman, Katie Zacharia, left the office that occupied only five days after American President Donald Trump called into question its continuity.
“ I said to him: ‘Katie, is this office for you?’ (...) ‘Honestly, if I were in your place, I would reconsider’ (the situation)’Trump told the press at the White House last Friday.
Commentator linked to Trump's support base, Zacharia was previously a communications advisor at the company that manages Truth Social, a platform owned by the Trump family and which the president privileges in his announcements.
Between February and April this year, he spoke for the Department of Homeland Security. As a commentator, she presented herself as a lawyer, despite the fact that, according to investigations in the American press, she never passed the examination of access to the legal order, which was mandatory for the practice of the profession.
Also Zacharia’s first press conference on Tuesday was ‘under fire’, highlighted for being short, hesitant and with some gaffes – even ‘confused’ her husband with the President of the United States.
Born in California, Zacharia had succeeded Karoline Leavitt, who left the government to spend more time with the family.
