A former Trump aide
Anthony Scaramucci
recently claimed on the MediasTouch
podcast
that Melania Trump prefers Kamala Harris to win the upcoming November
, reported the Dailymail.
Scaramucci, who was the
White House
Communications Director for just 11 days, stated that he believes Melania Trump "hates" her husband, former President Donald Trump, and wants to see him lose more than even he does.
During the podcast, Scaramucci stated, "Maybe Melania Trump. That could be the only person I think of. Because she hates (Trump)."
He used his perspective of Melania's feelings towards Donald Trump as a benchmark for assessing the former president's unpopularity. "I judge the hatred of Donald Trump by the Melania standard," Scaramucci said.
He continued by suggesting the podcast host, Ben Meiselas, harbours slightly less animosity towards Trump than Melania. Scaramucci added, "My wife hates Trump as much as Melania."
Scaramucci also claimed that only one other person he has met holds more animosity towards Trump than Melania. "I've met one person that actually hates Trump more than Melania," Scaramucci said, referring to
General Milley
. "He's the only guy I've met so far that actually hates him more than Melania."
Donald Trump, however, has dismissed Scaramucci’s allegations, suggesting that his former aide is merely bitter and has an agenda against him.
Melania Trump, while rumoured to be a reluctant first lady during Trump's presidency from 2017 to 2021, was nevertheless a popular figure acclaimed for her diplomatic behaviour and elegant style.
Since the end of Trump's term in January 2021, Melania has maintained a low profile. Despite this, sources close to her assert that she completely supports her husband's re-election campaign.
Anthony Scaramucci's brief tenure as White House Communications Director began on July 21, 2017, and ended just eleven days later, making it one of the shortest in history.
His appointment led to the resignation of Press Secretary Sean Spicer and was marred by controversy after an expletive-laden rant to a reporter, which he mistakenly believed was off the record.
Scaramucci was dismissed on the advice of the newly appointed
Chief of Staff
, John Kelly. Since leaving, he has become a vocal critic of Trump, supporting Joe Biden during the 2020 and 2024 election cycles.
Scaramucci further urged for a defeat of Trump, stating, "Time to defeat Trump and the menace he represents."
