“When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind,” Trump said.

After leaving the White House, Bannon returned to Breitbart News as executive director.

Trump Jr. took note of the backlash to Bannon's comments from Breitbart readers.

"When Bannon has lost Breitbart, he's left with ... nothing," the president's eldest son tweeted.

Scaramucci joined in on the backlash, tweeting, “I said what I said in the Summer take out the expletives and pay closer attention.”

In response to Trump Jr., Scaramucci added: “We are a team. Teams stick together no matter what.”
