Anthony Scaramucci may hold the record for the shortest tenure in the Trump administration, but since he’s been banished from Trump World, he hasn’t been wrong about nearly anything he’s said about the former president.

Let’s hope his record holds, because the latest he’s got for us is something you’re likely going to want to hear.

On Wednesday, Scaramucci sat down with Dean Obeidallah, a comedian and the host of The Dean Obeidallah Show on Sirius XM Progress. He told his host that it’s still close at this point, but he’s pretty sure that Kamala Harris is going to come out on top in less than two weeks on election day.

“It’s too close to call,” he said when he was asked about the results of the election. “I think she’s going to win because she’s got the money, the organization, and I think there are more good people in the country. I think he loses.”

That last bit — about more good people in the country — is what most of us have been relying on for hope in what seems like an inconceivably close race. For a contest that seems sometimes like a choice between cuddly puppies for everyone and being attacked by a porcupine every morning forever, the 2024 race has been frustratingly close between the two candidates.

It’s that glimmer of hope that the good people of America will do their duty and prevail over the impending gloom of a second Trump term that makes it so I don’t cry myself to sleep at night sometimes. You think you’ve been worried? I write about this stuff every single day.

Some people have been worried that a Trump loss will lead to another iteration of something like January 6th, 2021, or possibly something even worse. And I’ll admit, that’s been a concern of mine, as well. But Scaramucci, delivering even MORE good news, says there’s slim chance of that.

Oddly enough, his opinion that there WON’T be another insurrection rests almost entirely on Trump acting in his own selfish interests:

“If he loses, I’m in the contrarian view that he will not try to foment any violent revolution or an insurrection because he has a sentencing hanging over him on November the 26th,” Scaramucci said. “So three weeks after the election, 34 felony counts, he’s got to stand before a judge and be sentenced. If he’s fomenting violence in the three weeks after the election, they’re going to put him in jail. There’s no question about that in my mind,” he declared.

It’s not all sunshine and roses in the Scaramucci view for those who want to see Trump incarcerated.

“I think if he doesn’t do that, and he says, ‘I’m never going to accept a defeat, but I’m not suggesting violence,’ and he slinks away, they won’t put him in jail because I don’t think they want to put a former president, no matter how bad he is, in jail. But if he’s out there blowing dog whistles and he says, ‘I want you to shoot your neighbors that didn’t vote for me,’ and you have violence in the streets in the United States, he’s going straight to jail.”

The sentencing that Anthony is referring to, of course, is for the 34 felony counts of falsifying business records that Trump has already been convicted of. The felony charges stemmed from his attempts to cover up potentially damaging information that, if he hadn’t lied about it, may have influenced the 2016 election results, making it so he was never president to begin with.

Honestly, I couldn’t agree more with that assessment. It seems like common sense. Trump’s campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, however, sees Scaramucci’s statements a little differently, citing his short time in the White House:

“Nobody is going to listen to someone who barely lasted more time than an expired ham sandwich as White House communications director,” Cheung said.

I hate to break this to Steven. That may sound like English, but it sure doesn’t make sense. Not only has Anthony been correct about nearly every prediction he’s made, but “an expired ham sandwich” doesn’t last if you keep it at all, and if they ARE keeping expired ham sandwiches around there for ten days, they’ve got mold, not ham sandwiches.

Take out the trash, guys. We’re planning on doing just that ourselves.

I have to wonder, though. Does Steven think we shouldn’t listen to the part where Scaramucci says Trump isn’t going to win, or the part where he says Trump won’t try to start a civil war? Which one is incorrect, Steve?
