New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Wednesday touted President Trump's communication skills.

During an interview on CNN's "New Day," Scaramucci said Trump has a "very unique" style.

"He is arguably the most media savvy person in history," he said.

"But certainly of our times. And so he has hopped right over the mainstream media and uses social media mechanisms, like Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, to hit directly to the American people."

Scaramucci also said Trump's ability to get his message out on social media is part of the reason why the president spent less money and had less staff than rivals during the campaign but still won the election.

Some in the media and Washington elite might not like Trump's style, he added.

"The base and the majority of the American people, and certainly all of the American people that voted for him, either don't care about the tweets. They find him funny, they find him refreshing," Scaramucci said.

"They don't overreact and micro-analyze."

Trump frequently attacks opponents and touts his accomplishments on social media, sometimes sparking frustration from his own party.

GOP lawmakers late last month blasted Trump for his attack on MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski.
