Anthony Scaramucci, a former aide to Donald Trump, has ignited controversy by claiming that Melania Trump would prefer to see Kamala Harris as president rather than her own husband.
Scaramucci made this startling revelation on the MediasTouch podcast. The ex-White House Communications Director, who held the position for a mere 11 days, asserted that Melania “hates” her husband and would favor him losing the presidency. Scaramucci used his interpretation of Melania’s feelings towards Donald Trump as a barometer for the former president’s unpopularity during the podcast. He remarked, “I judge the hatred of Donald Trump by the Melania standard.”
Scaramucci further suggested that the podcast host, Ben Meiselas, harbors less resentment towards Trump than Melania. He quipped, “My wife hates Trump as much as Melania.”
However, Donald Trump has dismissed Scaramucci’s claims, suggesting his former aide is driven by bitterness and harbors a grudge against him. While Melania has maintained a low profile since Trump’s term ended in January 2021, sources close to her insist she fully supports her husband’s re-election campaign.
Since leaving the White House, Scaramucci has emerged as a vocal critic of Trump, endorsing President Joe Biden in both the 2020 and 2024 elections.
Scaramucci’s allegations add a new dimension to the ongoing political discourse surrounding the Trump family. While Melania’s public support for her husband has remained steadfast, these claims, if true, could indicate a significant shift in her political stance. Moreover, Scaramucci’s outspoken criticism of Trump since his departure from the White House underscores the deep divisions within the former administration. This revelation could potentially impact Trump’s future political ambitions and his standing within the Republican party.
