Anthony Scaramucci says Melania Trump ‘hates’ her husband Donald
Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House communications director, believes Melania Trump despises her husband Donald Trump, who’s on the campaign trail with hopes of being re-elected to the presidency in November.
“She hates him,” Scaramucci told the MeidasTouch podcast over Labor Day weekend.
Scaramucci spent 10 days with the Trump Administration before being unceremoniously booted in January 2019.
The 60-year-old Port Washington native said he’ll be voting for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in November and suspects the former first lady will also be rooting against her husband of nearly 20 years on Election Day.
“I judge the hatred of Donald Trump by the Melania standard,” Scaramucci said. “I’ve met one person that actually hates Trump more than Melania, that’s Gen. [Mark] Milley.”
Milley served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Trump administration before retiring in September. In his farewell address, Milley appeared to refer to his former boss as a “wannabe dictator” and stated that U.S. service members take an oath to guard against “all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
While Melania Trump has never publicly expressed contempt for her husband, she’s been noticeably absent from the 2024 campaign trail and hasn’t attended the 45th president’s post-White House legal hearings.
In May 2023, one jury found Donald Trump responsible for sexually abusing a woman in the mid-1990s. A year later, he was found guilty of falsifying business records to pay off a porn star, with whom he’s accused of having an extramarital fling.
The former president was taunted with a banner reading “Where’s Melania?” at a September political event in Iowa.
When the Trump’s were in the White House, the former First Lady, 54, was seen on more than one occasion rebuffing her 78-year-old husband’s attempts at public affection.
But when Donald Trump was shot at during a July rally in Pennsylvania, his wife released a statement referring to him as a “generous and caring man” and said every politician has “a loving family.”
Melania Trump also expressed solidarity with the 45th president during a conversation secretly recorded by an aide in 2018.
“I’m the same like him,” she said. “I support him.”
