Vladimir Putin expels 755 US diplomats from Russia in tit-for-tat move
Russia has retaliated against new US sanctions by ordering 755 American diplomats to leave - a move that will create a fresh crisis in the relationship between the two countries.
Days after the both houses of the US Congress voted almost unanimously to impose fresh sanctions on Moscow, Vladimir Putin said he was responding to “unlawful” behaviour by Washington.

This situation comes at a bad time for Trump. After some six months in power, he can claim no big legislative victory. In contrast, after six months into their first terms, Barack Obama had launched an $800bn economic stimulus programme and George W Bush $1.4tn-worth of tax cuts.

I wonder if Trump will tweet about the Russian expulsions?

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
The communications director appointed last week has left his role this week: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/31/u...ouse.html?_r=0
Quote:
President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff.

A few days ago I saw someone on Twitter suggest everytime someone leaves the White House Oompa-Loompas should appear and sing a song about greed and corruption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg9EuFmo-VU

The more senior role is now available, as others have just pointed out.
Will this dismissal now usher in a period of staffing stability?

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
This will be Kelly asserting himself.
Scaramucci was a bad choice, totally out of his depth for Comms Director.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
But Scaramucci reported directly to Trump, not to the Chief of Staff, and was Trump's choice.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
Joking aside, and as someone has already pointed out, this is pretty sad for him. This guy seemed tone genuinely like Trump - he sold his company for this too.

He did tweet "I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter. It won't happen again." 3 days ago so I suppose he saw it coming.

Tell this to the gutter press, New York Times who says this is a move orchestrated by Kelly.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
Whoever has been the NY Times source for a lot of this stuff it's clearly someone very high up at this point.

Is it Trump himself? Perhaps he's orchestrating a reality TV show, The Potus Apprentice and he'll have the last laugh?

From the White House website. What a thoroughly altruistic chap Anthony is.
Quote:
Statement from the Press Secretary
Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director. Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
SNL will be gutted, they did not get a chance to cast Scaramucci.
