Trump's staff shakeup signals a White House ready for battle
Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned Friday, just minutes after President Trump named former campaign fundraiser Anthony Scaramucci as his new communications director.
"The President himself is always going to be the President. I was in the Oval Office with him earlier today, and we were talking about letting him be himself, letting him express his full identity," Scaramucci said. "I think he's got some of the best political instincts in the world, and perhaps in history."
Scaramucci emphasized there's lots of love in the White House, using the word 'love' 20 times in his news conference Friday.
