Trump fires new comms director Scaramucci after 10 days

Fiery White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, appointed just 10 days ago by President Donald Trump, is out of a job, according to US media reports.

Scaramucci courted controversy with an eye-watering attack on his colleagues — one targeting chief of staff Reince Priebus, who left his job last week, and chief White House strategist Steve Bannon.

The New York Times reports that Scaramucci was dumped on the request of new chief of staff John Kelly, who was sworn in Monday, and tapped by Trump to bring some stability to an at times chaotic White House.
