This Trump/Scaramucci supercut proves why they call him 'The Mooch'

No puppet. No puppet.

The Mooch knows how to schmooze.

President Donald Trump appointed Anthony "The Mooch" Scaramucci as the new White House communications director on Friday, which sadly caused press secretary Sean Spicer to resign.

But while Spicer and his viral moments will be missed, The Daily Show is proving that The Mooch comes with his own brand of entertainment.

Daily Show producers cut together Trump and The Mooch using pretty much the exact same hand gestures while talking to a crowd, proving the two are pretty much the exact same person when it comes to hand speak.

Either that or maybe The Mooch just did his homework, and knows his new boss is completely obsessed with how his staff appears on TV.
