Anthony Scaramucci has urged Marco Rubio to resign before Donald Trump 'does it for him', arguing that the president has repeatedly turned on some of his closest political allies once they were no longer politically useful. The former White House communications director said Rubio should leave on his own terms rather than risk becoming the latest senior figure to fall out of favour.
The warning is the latest in Scaramucci's long-running criticism of Trump since leaving the White House in 2017. While the two were once allies, Scaramucci now argues that loyalty offers little lasting protection inside Trump's political orbit, where even trusted advisers can quickly become expendable.
