Donald Trump would likely drop out of the 2024 presidential race if it looked like he was going to lose, according to his previous white house communications chief.
Anthony Scaramucci, who recently predicted that "the dam will break" regarding support for his former boss, was on a Tuesday night CNN panel when he was asked what he thought about poll numbers that appear to show Trump's support among Republicans slipping as he gets into deeper legal troubles.
Scaramucci, who served for only about a week in Trump's administration, said he "thinks" the damage the indictment has dished out to Trump equates to "a small dent."
"I don't think it's a big enough dent, yet, but if those numbers really start to move, he'll drop out of the race," Scaramucci said. "He will not be able to handle an eviscerating defeat in Iowa or New Hampshire or South Carolina?"
To clarify what he meant, the host asked Scaramucci if he could possibly drop out "before Iowa or New Hampshire."
"Based on those poll numbers, no. But if you told me he went to 55% unfavorable in the Republican party and you saw somebody like governor Christie or governor DeSantis rise in the polls and you saw another indictment or two."
Scaramucci further said he can tell Trump is distressed by his hair.
"He's physically unraveling. Just look at him. Go back to the Brett Baier tape."
He added.
"He was probably using six cans of hairspray during the campaign, he's probably using one now and he's got to straighten this out. He's a very image conscious guy," Scaramucci told CNN. "You can tell that he's unraveling. People who really know him can tell that this thing is starting to come undone on him."
