Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
It is thought provoking how people who have been close to Trump in the past ... have worked with him and / or have been fired by him ... see him as unwell.
In my own case, I took a deep dislike to Trump in the 1990s when I observed how he was operating in Atlantic City. When the casinos that he had built and owned went into financial failure mode, Trump was able to walk away with losing very much, if anything ... but thousands oa small building contractors and unpaid workers went bankrupt. I believe he has filed for bankruptcy as many as 8 times, but somehow has ended up being a billionaire. He is an obnoxious character, but knows how to game the system.
Scaramucci worked for Trump in the White House ... got fired and in this interview suggests that Trump is ill. He is probably right!

- but he's not well I think that's the
- number one thing that we have to explain
- to people Anthony scaramucci was briefly
- Donald Trump's White House
- communications director he is the
- founder of skybridge capital and the
- co-host of a great podcast the rest is
- politics USA with Katy k his book the
- little book of Bitcoin what you need to
- know that Wall Street has already
- figured out is out now Anthony
- scaramucci good afternoon from us how
- are you it's great to be on and I I like
- the way you said briefly you didn't say
- that I was unceremoniously HED because
- you're a polite person but that that was
- very nice of you thank you well like
- your podcast colleague Katy we're
- English ladies Anthony and we behave
- accordingly okay now Bitcoin uh you say
- I'm going to tell her you said that by
- the way when she's overly riffing me I'm
- going to say that she's an English lady
- and that she needs to behave accordingly
- yeah okay well you you suck it to her uh
- you've got our permission uh so make the
- case for Bitcoin I mean I'm very scared
- of it I wouldn't go near it but you say
- it's portable it's valuable it's
- incorrupt
- 1:00
- and it's good for the unbanked uh
- why well I mean for all of those reasons
- that you just said but I mean at the end
- of the day uh what was created about 16
- years ago is a
- decentralized ledger and so if you think
- of your bank your bank is basically a
- spreadsheet you know your your assets
- are on one side of the bank my assets
- are on the other let's say that you work
- for an auto dealership and I wanted to
- buy a car well we're just moving digits
- from my account over to your account and
- then you deliver me the car and so when
- you stop and think about a transfer of
- value it's really a technology between
- us um money is effectively a technology
- that we're using so that we don't have
- to barter with each other and so these
- computer programmers known as satachi
- Nakamoto figured out a way to create
- this immutable unbreakable system that's
- quite scar there's only 21 million of
- these tokens on the internet and uh they
- 2:00
- made the case that if this proliferated
- this would be a very hard asset you know
- the bank of England couldn't make any
- more of it the Federal Reserve Bank of
- the United States couldn't make any more
- of it and so it had a little bit of an
- inflation hedge to it as well and so uh
- what we're saying here at skybridge and
- what I wrote In the book is that this is
- a form of digital gold uh now it may not
- be people of your or my demography but
- younger people our children particularly
- my children in their early 30s have
- accepted a digital world and they they
- recognize that they can use this
- decentralized uh fully transparent
- spreadsheet as a way to transfer value
- between each other and the reason why I
- think it's good for the unbanked is that
- you don't need a bank account to do it
- you know I I had some officials here in
- this office from the government of El
- Salvador during the UN General Assembly
- meetings in September of last year and
- they said that wallet to wallet
- transfers between their EXP Patriots
- 3:00
- that live here in the United States to
- their moms and dads in El Salvador if
- they could do it over the Bitcoin
- Network versus having to pay a Western
- Union or some other wire service they
- could save over $400 million a year and
- so this is uh this is going to be part
- of our future this is sort of like an
- operating software for Value transfer
- value
- transactions uh and it's cheaper the
- same way you and I are doing this phone
- call or this Zoom call and it's
- virtually Costless but if we did
- something like this uh 40 years ago we
- probably couldn't have a television
- connected to it but we could have a
- phone call together it would have cost
- us uh the telephone company was charging
- us per minute 40 years ago well the
- banks are still thinking like that they
- charge us per transaction or if you have
- low amounts of money at the bank at
- least here in the United States they
- charge you a monthly service fee to have
- that money and that's why millions of
- Americans are unbanked uh but Bitcoin
- provides them this other alternative
- 4:00
- it's sort of a a way to transact without
- having to use the third parties of the
- banking system okay I think you've made
- a spirited case for the Bitcoin or for
- Bitcoin I should say can we move on to
- what's going to be a pretty seismic day
- in British politics tomorrow when our
- prime minister saki starma goes to visit
- Donald Trump at the White House how
- should he play it
- Anthony I mean okay l i mean everyone
- doesn't want to say this cuz he's the
- leader of the Free World but Trump has
- obviously got something wrong with him I
- mean I I don't know if you saw that
- artificially intelligent uh um Trump
- Gaza video that he posted on his own
- truth social network and so anybody
- looks at that uh whether you're a
- clinical profile for MI6 or the CIA I
- mean you don't have to be a rocket
- scientist to know that something's wrong
- with Trump it's like if someone in
- British football broke their leg and the
- bone was sticking out you don't have to
- be an orthopedic surgeon to know that
- there's a broken bone so I would say to
- 5:00
- kir Storer the guy is unwell and he's
- surrounded by willing sycophants that
- want to pretend that he's not unwell and
- you'll do yourself and your country of
- service if you are polite to him and you
- give him some gratuitous flattering but
- you try to stay away from him if you can
- uh don't get too close to his orbit
- because he'll end up eating you he he
- harms everybody in his path he's uh uh
- you know he's not well-liked he's not
- well-liked by his family members not
- well-liked by his St uh but they're
- there because it it's he's a powerful
- person I I just Stormer stay away from
- him because he's he's a dangerous guy in
- a couple of years he'll burn himself out
- uh the United Kingdom will exist and
- rearview miror yeah so you work for him
- and you liked him well enough to do that
- um millions of people voted for him um
- what's
- changed well I did I did work for him
- and uh I did like him I'm not I'm not
- 6:01
- I'm you can't corrupt history I have to
- own the mistakes that I've made in my
- life uh but what I didn't see in him
- which he's now shown to the world uh is
- this he's he's a in singular service for
- himself and the attention that he's
- getting and the money that he can
- potentially make he's not in service of
- the world he doesn't think about himself
- as the leader of the Free World the way
- I think you or I or other people would
- like to think about that role and that
- frankly respons ibility and so no I
- didn't see that I made that mistake I've
- owned that mistake um and but then again
- you know there's shortcomings on the
- Democratic party because the way they
- handle themselves with this improper
- intergenerational transfer yeah of power
- in their party they they could have
- beaten Donald Trump remember he only won
- by one and a half% of the of the votes
- uh and that was with the party in full
- disarray uh with a with the with a
- president unfortunately that was a
- cognitively sunsetting and then they
- 7:02
- they they forced vice president Harrison
- to the raise 107 days we just the
- election we don't have too much time
- Anthony and I know that you have on X
- recently said that you think that Marco
- Rubio the Secretary of State might
- eventually perhaps quite soon just give
- up just he just can't do it anymore do
- you stick by that well just take a look
- at his body language look at the body
- language that he was with mcon in the in
- the Oval Office Rubio has stood with the
- west and ruia stood with the liberal
- democracies I don't think he loves the
- secretary of state that we're voting
- with North Korea Russia and China on
- certain issues and we're basically lying
- about who started the war in the who
- started the Ukrainian war and so so for
- me I I I think he's going to break I
- think he's a principled guy generally as
- principled as politicians can be and I I
- expect him to say no moss and to and to
- walk away from this I don't think he's
- going to be able to do this much longer
- and I I probably was almost unshockable
- 8:01
- when it came to Donald Trump but
- actually the AI video that he shared
- today and you've already referenced it I
- mean is it a new low can things get
- worse well there's no there well first
- of all there's no level of low okay so
- as low as you think he can get you know
- if Dante was writing about Trump there
- wouldn't be nine circles of hell there
- would be an infinite level of circles
- you know you can't get any can't get low
- with Donald Trump he's GNA find a way to
- get lower and so next week there'll be
- something uh even more disturbing but
- he's not well I think that's the number
- one thing that we have to explain to
- people and we have to be honest about
- that people fear Him uh they fear his
- rep retribution they fear people like
- cash Patel uh but this is the United
- States we still live in a free country
- and have uh the right to speak out and
- we'll see how long that lasts here in
- the United States but I have a tendency
- to believe that our government and our
- people will Outlast the corruptable
- forces of Donald Trump well We've Ended
- 9:01
- on a positive note um thank you very
- much Anthony uh love the podcast which
- is the rest is politics USA with Katty K
- that was Anthony scaramucci and his book
- on bitcoin is out now
