Former Obama adviser David Axelrod said on Thursday that Anthony Scaramucci is making President Trump look “rational” after a ranting phone call by Scaramucci was released.
“[Scaramucci] calls @Reince45 ‘paranoid schizophrenic’ & pulls Bannon into it w/barnyard taunt. 5 days in, he’s making @POTUS look RATIONAL!” Axelrod tweeted.

Scaramucci made the comments in a call with Ryan Lizza of the New Yorker, where Scaramucci asked Lizza to reveal the source who leaked him information.
He said a number of profane words while attacking fellow members of Trump’s administration, including White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steve Bannon.
“Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said during the call.
“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock,” he also said.
Trump appointed Scaramucci communications director last week and had reportedly promised him a White House job earlier, but was blocked from joining due in part to the efforts of Priebus.
“Basically, Mini-Me is hurling grenades all over the White House, apparently acting on the boss’s frustrations,” Axelrod said in a following tweet.
