President Donald Trump’s new communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who once described him as a “hack politician” during the presidential campaign, has apologised and admitted it as one of his biggest mistakes.
Scaramucci, who had initially supported Republican candidates Scott Walker and then Jeb Bush, called Trump a “hack politician” during a Fox Business appearance in 2015.
Asked whether Trump was aware of his comment, he said the president reminds him of those words on a daily basis.
“He brings it up every time. I personally apologise,” the 53-year-old smooth-talking Wall Street financier said and called it one of his “biggest mistakes.”
“Mr. President, if you’re listening, I personally apologise for the 50th time for saying that,” Scaramucci added as he looked into the cameras.
