AXIOS:
Anthony Scaramucci, who famously served as President Trump’s communications director for 11 days, says Republicans may need to pick a different candidate in 2020.
Driving the news: In a phone interview on Sunday afternoon, Scaramucci compared Trump to a melting nuclear reactor and said he may support a Republican challenger to Trump.
“We are now in the early episodes of ‘Chernobyl’ on HBO, where the reactor is melting down and the apparatchiks are trying to figure out whether to cover it up or start the clean-up process,” Scaramucci said.
“A couple more weeks like this and ‘country over party’ is going to require the Republicans to replace the top of the ticket in 2020.”
Scaramucci, who has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates, including Trump’s 2016 campaign, said that if Trump “doesn’t reform his behavior, it will not just be me, but many others will be considering helping to find a replacement in 2020.”
“Right now, it’s an unspeakable thing. But if he keeps it up, it will no longer be unspeakable. The minute they start speaking of it, it will circulate and be socialized. We can’t afford a full nuclear contamination site post 2020.”
The downfall in this relationship certainly came quick. Scarmucci wrote the book Trump, the Blue-Collar President in 2016.
Scarmucci has been attacking the President on Twitter:
JUST NOW: @realDonaldTrump
has officially lost @ScaramucciBERMAN: “So you are no longer an active supporter of president trump and his re-election bid? ”

Scaramucci has long been frank in critiques of Trump, but really set him off by saying on TV Thursday Trump made El Paso and Dayton trips about himself rather than about the gun massacre victims.
“He probably would be mad at somebody for saying that,” @Scaramucci said.

For the last 3 years I have fully supported this President. Recently he has said things that divide the country in a way that is unacceptable. So I didn’t pass the 100% litmus test. Eventually he turns on everyone and soon it will be you and then the entire country. https://t.co/BUvwujc6LW

Trump responded on the 10th:
…..other than the fact that this Administration has probably done more than any other Administration in its first 2 1/2 years of existence. Anthony, who would do anything to come back in, should remember the only reason he is on TV, and it’s not for being the Mooch!

Thank God President Trump fired the Mooch. The fact that he has turned so strongly on the President shows he is nothing more than a power-hungry opportunist. Pushing the false narratives put out by the left and Mainstream Press has no place in the Conservative movement.
