Trump Advisor Anthony Scaramucci: Don’t Take Trump’s Words Literally, Take Him Symbolically [VIDEO]

Politico reports:

Take Donald Trump seriously but not literally — or better yet, take him symbolically, a member of the president-elect’s transition executive committee advised Tuesday. “No, no, no, no, don’t take him literally, take him symbolically,” Anthony Scaramucci told MSNBC. “See, it’s different.”

Scaramucci suggested that Trump has pushed back his news conference from Dec. 15 because “he’s a very precise, very detail-oriented guy” who wants to have “all of the answers to all of the types of questions that’s he’s gonna get thrown.”

“Hold on. If he’s a detail-oriented guy, then how does this statement that we’ve been hearing for months — don’t take him literally, take him seriously — make sense?” anchor Stephanie Ruhle asked. “Because that’s sort of the opposite.”
