'It'll never be enough': Trump aide has a warning for Republicans at ex-president's trial

As former President Donald Trump has sat through more days of his criminal hush money trial in Manhattan, including the testimony of his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen, a wave of Republican officials, including senators and representatives from around the country, have descended on the courthouse to speak in his defense, and attack people that Trump is prohibited from mentioning under his gag order.

But the irony, said former Trump White House communications official Anthony Scaramucci on CNN Friday afternoon, is that the former president would stab all of these people showing up for him in the back the second it became advantageous for him.

"What do you make of all the support we're seeing Donald Trump get in the courtroom from these high-ranking Republican officials?" asked anchor Jake Tapper.

"Well, it's a section of high-ranking Republican officials, but it's an obligatory loyalty test by all of them," said Scaramucci, who famously only lasted less than two weeks in the Trump administration and has been a harsh critic of the former president ever since. "They're using the same hand signals as Donald Trump. They're wearing the same outfits as Donald Trump. But it'll never be enough for Donald Trump."

"Unfortunately for all of those guys — Michael Cohen has learned it, other people, myself included, that have worked for Mr. Trump — there's no pleasing him and he's incredibly transactional," said Scaramucci.

In fact, he continued on, the reality of the situation is that "if he has to run you over with a bus or hit you with a car five minutes after he shook your hand and smiled at you charmingly, he'll do that."
