The Mooch Is The Ultimate Trump Administration Meme & Twitter Proved It

It's been just days since Anthony Scaramucci assumed the role of White House communications director, but the so-called "Mooch" has already solidified his place in social media history. After The New Yorker published a bizarre conversation with the newest face of the Trump administration, memes and tweets about the Mooch circulated across social media on Thursday. As much as they were about the absurd interview, the jokes also made for an early progress report on Scaramucci's performance.

The New Yorker piece suggested some serious infighting within the Trump administration. According to writer Ryan Lizza, Scaramucci called White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus a "paranoid schizophrenic." He also reportedly threatened to fire everyone on the White House communications team for leaking information about a dinner that Scaramucci was attending.

Thursday's New Yorker story quickly turned Scaramucci into a trending topic, but he had already become an internet character all his own. Instances like that time he quoted Joe Paterno on honor — and his identifiable last name — have given Scaramucci a nickname and a reputation for the bizarre. He's only about a week into his new White House job, but Scaramucci may not shake these punchlines for a while.

It's unclear when we'll actually see another Scaramucci press conference, since he said earlier this week that he plans to let Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders continue leading the regular press briefings.

Will he ever be stopped?

Spicey

If we can't have Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer impression, at least let there be a Scaramucci impression on the way.

Be prepared, White House communications team.

"The Mooch" isn't the only joke his name has inspired.

In all seriousness, the jokes at Scaramucci's expense may very well continue. The rumor mill has already started to swirl with questions about who could play Scaramucci on upcoming episodes of SNL. It's a good bet, however, that not all of his colorful language will be welcome.
