Ex-Trump Communications Director Mocks Liz Truss, 'Lasted 4.1 Scaramuccis'

British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who announced her resignation Thursday, is being mocked by a former United States official who served even less time than her.

Anthony Scaramucci spent 11 days as White House communications director, between July 21 and 31, 2017, before former President Donald Trump fired him. Truss resigned today after 44 days in her role.

"Liz Truss lasted 4.1 Scaramuccis," the former Trump loyalist Scaramucci tweeted in self-deprecating fashion.

William Henry Harrison, the ninth U.S. president who died from pneumonia on his 32nd day in office, has been brought up comparatively to Truss' lack of longevity.

When Scaramucci was initially relieved of his duties, he took aim at his former boss by referring to a "vacuum of leadership in the White House."

"He's more or less moved out everybody that could potentially disagree with him or offer some level of dissent," he said in September 2019.

Scaramucci poked fun at himself and others, such as former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who also had been fired by Trump in what seemed like a revolving door of officials appointed and let go throughout his presidency.

Truss, from the ruling Conservative Party, told King Charles III today that she would stand down as prime minister immediately but remain in the role for another week until a replacement is chosen.

Truss, who said she couldn't "deliver the mandate on which I was elected," became prime minister in July following the resignation of another embattled U.K. prime minister, Boris Johnson.

British Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has called for an immediate general election, rather than another Conservative leadership contest that led to Truss' election in the first place.

Economic uncertainties are plaguing the U.K. just like the United States.

Concern over Truss' leadership accelerated when the British pound fell to a new record low against the U.S. dollar. That was attributed to the nation's biggest tax cuts in five decades, coupled with a spending boost.

Even Prince Andrew is more popular than Truss, according to recent polling, even after he has been accused of raping a 17-year-old female and Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking victim.

That claim was ultimately settled out of court for an undisclosed sum of money.

Nearly a quarter of Truss' tenure included overseeing a 10-day period of mourning of Queen Elizabeth II, who Truss met two days before her death. That period concluded with the queen's burial at Windsor.

"We don't need another Conservative Prime Minister lurching from crisis to crisis," Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey tweeted Thursday. "We need a General Election now and the Conservatives out of power."
