Washington, Jul 22 President Donald Trump's new communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who once described him as a "hack politician" during the presidential campaign, has apologised and admitted it as one of his biggest mistakes. Scaramucci, who had initially supported Republican candidates Scott Walker and then Jeb Bush, called Trump a "hack politician" during a Fox Business appearance in 2015.
Anthony Scaramucci, hired as the new White House communications director on Friday, hasn't always been a fan of President Donald Trump - and Trump apparently hasn't forgotten his former comments.

President Donald Trump on Friday picked Anthony Scaramucci to be his new communications director, but in 2015, the Wall Street financier wasn't so fond of Trump. Scaramucci, who initially supported Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker during the 2016 presidential campaign, called Trump a "hack politician" in 2015 after Trump criticized the hedge fund industry as people who just "move around paper."
Scaramucci, whose appointment Friday was followed by the resignation of press secretary Sean Spicer , called the remarks about Trump "one of the biggest mistakes" he's made. He blamed it on his lack of political experience and support for another candidate.
