\u201cHe\u2019s gonna drop out of the race because it\u2019s gonna become very clear. Okay, it\u2019ll be March of 2020. He\u2019ll likely drop out by March of 2020. It\u2019s gonna become very clear that it\u2019s impossible for him to win,\u201d the former (short-lived) White House communications director said in an interview with Vanity Fair published Friday.\n\n\u201cAnd is this the kind of guy that\u2019s gonna want to be that humiliated and lose as a sitting president?\u201d asked Scaramucci, who in recent weeks has turned on and feuded with his former boss, likening him to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.\n\n\u201cHe\u2019s got the self-worth in terms of his self-esteem of a small pigeon. It\u2019s a very small pigeon. Okay,\u201d Scaramucci continued about Trump. \u201cAnd so you think this guy\u2019s gonna look at those poll numbers and say \u2014 he\u2019s not gonna be able to handle that humiliation.\u201d\n\nScaramucci, who on Friday claimed Twitter temporarily locked him out of his account after he called Trump \u201cthe fattest president\u201d in response to his fat-shaming of a supporter at a rally, also turned to HBO\u2019s epic fantasy drama \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d to help him explain why he believes Trump should face a Republican primary challenger.\n\n\u201cYou know, this is like \u2018Game of Thrones.\u2019 We need an Arya Stark, okay? We gotta take this guy out because this is like the Night King,\u201d he said. \u201cThe minute the Night King is vaporized, all the zombies are gonna fall by the wayside, right? We had the Wicked Witch of the West, but he is the Wicked Witch of the West Wing. We gotta get some water thrown on him. He\u2019ll start melting.\u201d
