Donald Trump’s former communications director Anthony Scaramucci has revealed his favorite Taylor Swift song… and it’s about betrayal.
Scaramucci, known as ‘The Mooch’ during his White House days, appeared on The Happiness Project podcast with Zoe Larkin, who appears as his alter ego Bjorn Riche in the series.
On the satirical TikTok interviewLarkin, a Yale graduate, asked him if he had “any advice for young professionals who want to be publicly humiliated.”
Scaramucci set the record for the shortest term as White House director after holding the position for just 10 days.
In a now-infamous phone call with a New Yorker reporter, Scramaucci called former White House chief of staff Reince Preibus a “freaking paranoid schizophrenic” and a “cock-blocker.”
The Long Island native, 61, asked Larkin, who resides in New York City, if she believes in the concept of karma.
Then, he said he can ‘prove’ it exists because his ‘life is a story about it.’
When Larkin asked him if he identifies with Taylor Swift’s song Karma, he said he would have to listen to the song, but revealed that he “really likes” Swift’s song Cassandra, from the 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department.

Scaramucci set the record for the shortest term as White House director after holding the position for just 10 days.
When the Blank Space singer first released the song on TTPD, fans thought she might be subtly calling out Kim Kardashian.
In the chorus, Swift sings, “When the first stone is thrown, they scream / In the streets, there’s a furious riot / When ‘Burn the b***h’ plays, they scream / When the truth comes out.” , it’s calm.’
Some fans wondered if the chorus was a reference to Kardashian sparking a social media storm when she shared a Snapchat of her then-husband Kanye West secretly recording a phone call with Swift.
At the time, furious Swifties filled the comments sections of the Skims founder’s social media profile with snake emojis to mark the betrayal.
Swift specifically referenced snakes in her song, singing: “So, they killed Cassandra first because she feared the worst / And they tried to tell the city / So, they filled my cell with snakes, I’m sorry to say / Do you believe me now?” . ?’
‘What does Kassandra represent?’ Scaramucci questioned Larkin during the interview.
“She was a woman who was ignored, but she was right,” Larkin said.
“The goddesses told Cassandra, ‘You will have clairvoyance, you will be able to see the future, but you will also have the curse that no one will believe you,'” Scaramucci explained.

The former financier went on to explain that Cassandra, a princess from Greek mythology who was cursed so that her prophecies were not heard, told her father that thousands of ships would come to destroy her city, but no one would listen to her.
Larkin interrupted the Celebrity Big Brother star to share his own ignored prophecy.
“That’s like when I told everyone skinny jeans were coming back and they didn’t believe me,” Larkin said.
“The goddesses said to Kassandra: ‘You will have clairvoyance, you will be able to see the future, but you will also have the curse that no one will believe you,'” the Mooch explained.
‘People don’t like the truth, you see?’ Scaramucci responded, adding, “What Homer was trying to teach, through the fictional character of Cassandra, is that none of us like the truth.”
The clip quickly gained attention on TikTok, with commenters saying: “The way Cassandra has such a deep cut, this man is a STAN.”
“Okay Scaramucci, a real Swiftie, that’s a deep cut,” another approved.
This isn’t the first time Mooch has gone viral for seemingly criticizing the incoming president-elect.
A viral theory that Trump wears a girdle began in the days before the election when Scaramucci gave a wide-ranging interview in September and addressed the issue.
When asked by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation interviewer: “Does Trump really wear a girdle?” He replied, ‘On certain days, yes.’
“He’s an image-oriented guy, he’s a TV entertainer,” Scaramucci said.
Scaramucci previously alleged that Trump “spends a lot of time on his hair,” that it’s “kind of a weave he does up there,” has “a certain orange war paint that he wears,” and that he wears elevators on his shoes. .
