Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci compared the choice between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden to “demented” and “dementia” on Wednesday.
Asked by Newsmax host Eric Bolling for his thoughts on Nikki Haley as Trump’s potential running mate, Scaramucci said, “I don’t advise President Trump anymore, but if I did, she’s a good pick for him because she fills a lot of slots that he needs.”
Scaramucci, who famously served in the Trump White House for just ten days – continued:
The last two times he [Trump] ran, he ran without an incumbent in ’16, he ran as the sitting president, and he will likely be running against a sitting president, and so you know the incumbency’s very powerful and somebody like Governor Haley is not a bad choice for President Trump, whatever he calls her today.
“We have a dinner bet. I’ll take Trump; you can have the old guy, the octogenarian. I’ll take the young 77-year-old,” replied Bolling.
Scaramucci shot back, “You’re choosing demented over dementia, so I don’t know. I probably would go with dementia over demented, but that’s fine.”
He added, “Listen, you know the guy’s nuts. I know he’s nuts, but your viewers love him.”
“You know what? He’s crazy all the way to the bank for America,” declared Bolling.
