There’s something weird about the fact that Trump is so willing to fire people who have already been around him long enough to know his secrets. But there’s something even more bizarre about how quickly after hiring them, he lets his secrets be known.

Anthony Scaramucci was with the former president just 11 days, but that was sufficient time for him to reveal quite a few things that have since been proved to be true.

Now in a new interview with ABC News Australia, “The Mooch” is spilling even more dirt on his old boss. What is no secret is how much Trump trusted Scaramucci. He handed over the Communications reins to the young financier shortly into his first year as president, making even his former spokesman Sean Spicer an underling to the new guy.

But either Trump really doesn’t know how odd his behavior is, or he was counting on the je ne sais quoi that makes even hardened politicians and military veterans keep quiet about his vanity traits to keep Scaramucci similarly mum on the topic.

Bad luck for Trump, though, because Anthony turned out to hate the guy.

The news agency just jumped right in with the big questions about Trump’s beauty regimen. And Scaramucci was just as quick with his answers. When asked if Trump wears a girdle, something that’s been the subject of speculation for a long time, he quickly confirmed it: “On certain days, yes.”

Then he went on to detail a litany of Trump’s proclivities:

“He’s a television entertainer. He hates taking pictures of him from the side because he just looks too fat from the side. He likes to take pictures head-on. Spends a lot of time on his hair. It’s like a, sort of a weave thing that he does up there. You know, he’s got a certain orange war paint thing that he wears. He’s got two-inch heels, lifts in his shoes, even though he’s a reasonably tall person.”

But it wasn’t just Trump’s secrets to maintaining his unique trademark look that Scaramucci discussed. For him, it was more about the psychology of his habits, saying that Donald’s “hyper-masculinity is a tell for how insecure the guy actually is.”

He went on to question the behavior of others around him when it comes to enabling him.

“And so what I don’t understand – and what I think people will write about 50 years from now – is that we just had a group of political cowards that couldn’t stand up to the guy. You know, I don’t understand. What were they fearful of? And maybe it just was [that] they want to stay in power more than they want to serve the public. Maybe that’s what it is.”

As expected, however, Scaramucci was asked about much more than Trump’s skincare routine.

When the outlet gave him an opportunity to give his thoughts on Trump as an actual politician, rather than just the reality TV-type personality he presents as, Scaramucci went on to call him the “anti-American presidential candidate.”

“The first danger is that he wants to destabilize the current world order, so he’ll roll back the WWII rules-based society, which, at least in North America and in Europe, is NATO.

He’ll roll back NATO [and] he’ll give space for Vladimir Putin to project his power back into Eastern Europe, which will keep Vladimir Putin in power and be absolutely devastating for Eastern Europe.

[He] literally wants to wall off America from the rest of the world.

He wants to put on exorbitant tariffs, he wants to reject immigrants. He’s calling for a deportation of 15 million people.

That’s in Project 2025 and it comes out of his mouth almost every night at these rallies.”

We’ve heard Trump himself deny any connection to Project 2025 a hundred times in a hundred ways. But his actions say otherwise, and the people involved in the planning of Project 2025 are all former Trump devotees.

He can deny his involvement all he wants, but when the things he announces as policy priorities are identical as what’s inside that prescriptive plan for America, it makes his denials sound pretty hollow.

Then again, this is a guy who’s been so secure in his hair weave for decades that he lets late-night TV hosts give it a tug to “prove it’s real.”

Donald Trump isn’t fooling anyone. Not with his girdle, not with the shoe lifts he was desperate to recover after the “assassination attempt” in Pennsylvania, not with his heavy bronzer, and certainly not with his claims that he he all of his own plans that have nothing to do with Project 2025.

He is a living character from a movie.
