Anthony Scaramucci suggests Melania Trump wants husband to lose election

Few first ladies -- past or present -- have faced the type of sneering disdain that Melania Trump endured -- even from onetime friendly insiders -- during her time in the White House and beyond.

Now, disgruntled former Trump administration staffer Anthony Scaramucci has gone rogue and made the outlandish claim that Mrs. Trump is pulling for her husband to lose his bid for the Oval Office this November, as the Daily Mail reports.

Egregious claims leveled

Scaramucci, who lasted as then-President Donald Trump's Communications Director for just over a week back in 2017, has since made it his life's mission to deride and defame his former boss at every turn.

Speaking on the Medias Touch podcast recently, Scaramucci made clear that “nobody wants [Kamala Harris] to win” the upcoming election more than he does.

He then qualified that statement, however, by asserting that perhaps Melania Trump has even greater hopes than he for a Democratic Party victory.

The reason he believes such a thing, says Scaramucci, is that “she hates” the former president. “I judge the hatred of Donald Trump by the Melania standard,” he added.

In a seeming attempt to assure listeners that he really was someone in the know, Scaramucci went on to say, “I've met one person that actually hates Trump more than Melania. That's General [Mark] Milley. He's the only guy I've met so far that actually hates him more than Melania.”

Piling on

Scaramucci has spent much of his summer wildly opining on the inner workings of Donald Trump's mind, though the basis for and accuracy of his rantings remain nebulous, to say the least.

As Newsweek reported last month, the former White House staffer went so far as to suggest that the former president may be preparing to abandon his campaign altogether.

Writing on X, Scaramucci said, “Not over yet. Trump may leave the race. Just watch his poll numbers plummet and see what happens.”

Though he did not provide a great deal of elaboration for the reason behind that prediction, Scaramucci appeared supremely confident -- indeed cocky about the veracity of his statement.

Throwing cold water on the assertion was Trump's own team, which firmly retorted, “We're not going to listen to someone who barely lasted more time than an expired ham sandwich as White House communications director.”
