He’s got something to say.
Never shy for words, financer, author, speaker, and Trump foil Anthony Scaramucci will discuss the election and regulatory landscape—including Reg BI and fiduciary—as part of the celebration of this year’s Top Advisor by Participant Outcomes (TAPO) celebration.
Held as part of the EXCEL 401(k): 2020 Digital Series, it will take place September 18, 2020, at 3:30 EDT, and top advisors from across the country will convene to recognize those that are going above and beyond in the area of successful retirement outcomes for the plan sponsors and participants they serve.
Scaramucci will kick off the festivities in his typical blunt, no-nonsense style, unafraid to (severely) criticize the president he once served, while giving his predictions on what to look for in the weeks and months ahead.
Once a major Trump supporter, Scaramucci, Founder and Managing Partner of SkyBridge Capital, was famously relieved of his White House communications position after a brief 11-day tenure. Yet his engaging and larger-than-life persona means many of his former administration colleagues are now friends, including former White House Chief of Staff General John Kelly, the man who made the call to let Scaramucci go.
Indeed, Kelly, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and others routinely appear at his SALT Conference and its related SALT Talks podcast.
While he continued to back the president in the weeks and months after his departure, he’s since soured on the administration, making waves on social media and in his frequent cable news appearances. Calling the president a ‘systemic danger to the constitution, he even went so far as to Joe Biden super PAC called “The Right Side PAC.”
“I have a Twitter account because the lunatic-in-chief has a Twitter account, so you have to have other voices out there expressing what is actually going on, as opposed to his reality distortions,” Scaramucci said on the 401(k) Specialist Pod(k)ast in June.
In early August, the president tweeted Scaramucci directly after the latter appeared on Fox.
“.@Scaramucci, who just made a fool of himself as he got taken apart by @SteveHiltonx, only lasted 11 days in his favorite of all time Administration, before being fired for, again, making a fool of himself. Anthony is a loser who begged to come back. I said “No Thanks”.
“The Loser is you,” Scaramucci shot back. “162,000 dead, 40 million American jobs lost on your watch. We are tired of all of the losing. We wanted you to succeed but you are an abject failure. Thankfully it will be over on 11/3. America will heal and rebuild.”
