Ex-Trump official predicts what president will do over his grave — and it's devastating
Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as White House communications director during President Donald Trump's first term, posted a striking prediction on X this week. When he dies, Scaramucci said, he fully expects Trump to insult him from beyond his grave.
In a post on X, the former Trump insider unloaded on his ex-boss with a blanket assessment of the president's character before pivoting to the morbid prediction.
"Nobody really likes Donald Trump. That's just the truth," Scaramucci wrote. "He's powerful, effective, charismatic in his way. He used his narcissism and his bullying to get the top job in America."
"But he's not genuinely liked by anyone and deep down he knows it," he added.
Scaramucci, who has become one of the louder anti-Trump voices among former administration figures, then framed the president's reaction to criticism as part of a predictable pattern.
"When people call him out for who he is, he lashes back," he wrote.
Then came the prediction.
"Only the good die young, so this son of a b---- will probably live forever, but if I go before him, he'll almost certainly say something terrible about me," Scaramucci wrote. "I would find that very amusing."
He closed with a line that gave the whole post a darkly comic edge.
"Even from wherever I end up," Scaramucci wrote.
The former Wall Street financier spent only about ten days in the White House before being fired by then-chief of staff John Kelly in 2017. The brief stint made his name nationally famous and left him with what he has described as a permanent perch as a Trump critic. He has since hosted podcasts, written books, and made regular cable news appearances dissecting the president's behavior.
Saturday's post is part of a longer pattern of Scaramucci offering on-the-record psychological assessments of his former boss. What makes this one stand out is the specific framing. Scaramucci is not just predicting that Trump will outlive him. He is predicting that Trump will use the occasion of his death to insult him one more time, and he is announcing in advance that he will enjoy it happening.
