"Scaramucci is the personification of Trump's deep brain."
Metaphor in Context
Scaramucci is the personification of Trump's deep brain. To the extent that the president ever withholds a thought, Scaramucci is there to express it for him. He's his human Twitter feed. Thus, we may assume that what Scaramucci says, Trump thinks. Thanks to the New Yorker's Ryan Lizza, we're privy to enough premium quotes to entertain ourselves for months.
