I want to thank General Kelly for saving my career and marriage. We have to speak up because @realDonaldTrump is a clear and present danger to our country, our world and way of life. Partriotism requires us to. No one misses your “action” frankly it’s crazy. https://t.co/LDtovOlGsK — Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) February 13, 2020

Scaramucci's tweet was in response to Trump slamming Kelly for his critical remarks about the president.

“When I terminated John Kelly, which I couldn’t do fast enough, he knew full well that he was way over his head,” Trump tweeted Thursday. “Being Chief of Staff just wasn’t for him. He came in with a bang, went out with a whimper, but like so many X’s, he misses the action & just can’t keep his mouth shut.”

Kelly left the Trump administration at the end of 2018 and Mick Mulvaney was named acting White House chief of staff.
