Anthony Scaramucci: J.D. Vance Overshadowing Trump Is a "Dangerous Thing"

Transcript

00:00Given that vantage point that you've had into Donald Trump, how do you think he's absorbing

00:07these comments by J.D. Vance about childless cat people and the sort of blowback that he's

00:15gotten on social media and elsewhere from women, notably a subset of voters that Republicans

00:24haven't had the most success with?

00:29What made Vice President Mike Pence successful as a vice presidential candidate is he understood

00:35President Trump's personality.

00:37He took a back seat, and his attitude was do no harm, say nothing that could be overly

00:43advantageous or disadvantageous.

00:46J.D. Vance is a different beast.

00:48He's 39 years old.

00:50He's very ambitious.

00:51He has a very high opinion of himself.

00:53He sees this as a moment for him to shine as opposed to a moment to take a back seat

00:58to Donald Trump.

01:00Remember, when Donald Trump has somebody in his field of vision that's getting attention,

01:05he usually blows them to smithereens.

01:06He did it on The Apprentice with that blonde woman in the first two seasons.

01:11There was a joke inside the administration, if you're getting too much attention and Trump

01:16leans over to you and says, oh, where are you, President Bannon now, or you're getting

01:22more popular than me, it was time to book a trip to Antarctica and to go into hiding.

01:28Vance doesn't get that.

01:29He thinks he's actually a vice presidential candidate, but he's a deep subordinate to

01:34Donald Trump.

01:37Just watch how this plays out, Boris.

01:39You'll invite me back.

01:40I'll give you more color commentary as he continues to do these malaprops and bloopers.
