Liz Truss is now the shortest-tenured U.K. prime minister ever, though she lasted longer than Anthony Scaramucci did in his job.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who announced her resignation Thursday, is being mocked by a former United States official who served even less time than her.
Anthony Scaramucci spent 11 days as White House communications director, between July 21 and 31, 2017, before former President Donald Trump fired him. Truss resigned today after 44 days in her role.
«Liz Truss lasted 4.1 Scaramuccis,» the former Trump loyalist Scaramucci tweeted in self-deprecating fashion.
William Henry Harrison, the ninth U.S. president who died from pneumonia on his 32nd day in office, has been brought up comparatively to Truss’ lack of longevity.
When Scaramucci was initially relieved of his duties, he took aim at his former boss by referring to a «vacuum of leadership in the White House.»
«He’s more or less moved out everybody that could potentially disagree with him or offer some level of dissent,» he said in September 2019.
