Trump is a 'traitor to the United States' who is headed for 'life in prison': former aide

After reposting a comment from Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, in which she claimed, "A path to defeat Donald is clearly emerging," and then called on voters to "beat this lunatic," a former high-ranking White House official who served in his administration piled on by calling his former boss a "traitor."

Early Thursday morning, former Trump White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, fired off his own post on X lambasting the GOP's presidential frontrunner and predicting he would end up penniless and in jail until the end of his life.

On X, Scaramucci, a hedge funder and longtime Trump associate, wrote, "If Trump doesn't win in November (he won’t) he's headed for what for him will be life in prison. He is a traitor to the United States."

As for his legal problems and the massive financial pressures the former president is under, Scaramucci claims it would be a devastating blow for Trump if he was forced to turn over or sell off his assets.

"If he doesn't come up with the bond money he loses what he values the most, his physical possessions," he wrote.

There was no indication from the former Trump associate over what set off his Thursday morning outburst.

Scaramucci famously served just 10 days in the Trump White House in 2017 as Director of Communications. He attacked members of the Trump administration in an interview he said he believed was off the record and was fired.

He has since been highly critical of his former boss and supported Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
