Sean Spicer Resigns Over Trump's Appointment of Tony Scaramucci As Director of Communications

Scaramucci is already known as a "ferocious" defender of Trump on cable news, so Trump figures he should get paid for it. Apparently Spicer and Priebus objected, noting that Scaramucci had no organizational or political experience.

Spicer resigned rather than be a subordinate to Scaramucci.

I get the "doesn't have organizational or political experience" thing, but the problem is: Most people with that experience tend to be, in policy positions at least, anti-Trump, or at least coming to the job with the idea that they will subvert Trump's agenda into a conventional insider Republican agenda.

I think Trump's tired of such folks telling him he can't do this or that but can only choose from Establishment Approved Options A and B.
