Anthony Scaramucci Compares Trump To A Ruthless ‘Succession’ Character

It’s safe to say that none of these parents know any better.

antonio scaramucci – who served only 11 days as former president donald trumpThe White House press secretary compared his former boss to Logan Roy, the cruel patriarch of the hit HBO series “Succession.”

“This is a family man whether you like Mr. Trump or not. He’s sort of the Logan Roy of American politics. He has this love-hate relationship with his family,” Scaramucci said. msnbcby Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday.

“Okay, wait a minute. Logan Roy is not a family man. Ward Cleaver is a family man,” Ruhle responded, referring to the loving patriarch on “Leave It to Beaver.”

“Oh no, no, yo, you have to watch the show very carefully,” Scaramucci said. “He really loves those kids. It’s just this whole narcissistic web that he’s gotten those kids into.”

There is some basis for Scaramucci’s assessment of Roy’s feelings towards his children: Connor (Alan Ruck), Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Siobhan (Sarah Snook). Brian Cox, who plays the ruthless founder of the fictional media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar RoyCo, said collider Earlier this week the show’s creator, Jesse Armstrong, said that Roy loves his kids.

But Logan’s controlling nature, his inability to express healthy love, and his toxic parenting style, which involves everything from blackmail and physical abuse to pitting his children against each other, has resulted in four terrible, emotionally stunted adults.

“Logan Roy loves his children? Jesse’s response, from the beginning, was, ‘Yeah, he loves them very much.’ That’s the biggest problem,” Cox told Collider. “He loves these hideous creatures who are quite unworthy of anything, but they are his children.”

And it seems Scaramucci caught wind of Cox’s recent Collider quote and used it to back up his argument on Twitter after his appearance on Ruhle’s show.

But Ruhle countered with a quote from Connor, Logan’s eldest son and the debatable black sheep of the family, on last Sunday’s episode of “Succession.”

“The good thing about having a family that doesn’t love you is that you learn to live without it,” he tweeted.

Many Twitter users agreed with Ruhle, responding with a picture of his shocked face after Scaramucci made the comparison on his show.

Scaramucci isn’t the only one comparing the Trumps to the Roys.

In June, Alex Holder, a British documentary filmmaker granted exclusive access to the Trumps, made similar comments.

“And I’m specifically talking about Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, and then the president himself, and the interactions they have with each other, and the interaction they have with their father,” Holder said on Yahoo. news podcastsdeception,” Inside information reported. “It has kind of a ‘Succession’ type of vibe,” Holder said.

“But it’s also, you know, it’s a real-life succession drama.”
