Scaramucci Criticizes Trump And GOP Fear Culture On Saturday, in a post on X, Scaramucci wrote, "Donald Trump is not well and he’s probably too old for the job." He added, "That’s not politically correct but it’s probably right." He further said that Trump is "surrounded by a fearful group of people who are afraid to lose their jobs, afraid of getting tweeted at, afraid of getting primaried by someone he hand-selects to knock them out." "That’s why we’re frozen," he added, suggesting that internal GOP dynamics discourage dissent.

He implied that people avoid stating what he views as obvious truths about Trump due to fear and political pressure.
