Plus what type of Communications Director texts his wife to congratulate her on the birth of their child? Great communication skills. The greatest. He used the best words in the world's greatest pregnancy related congratulatory tweet. He also uses the best profanity.
It seems rather obvious to me that Scaramucci getting the can was a condition of Kelly's to take the CoS job. I have a different opinion from Matt in regards to Kelly's hiring, I think this will ultimately work in the administration's favor. Surrounding himself with military men is probably Trump's best move. They have several qualities that will enable them to work for Trump effectively. First, Trump has a large amount of respect for career military guys. Second, it is ingrained in service members that you do not publicly criticize elected officials. Thirdly, they have the discipline to keep Trump on task/message without ruffling Trump's feather due to reasons one and two. I think the diplomacy aspect of the CoS is a bit overstated, in any event at this point they needed a task master will bring order to chaos.
As much as Trump can, and has, screwed up, he is in a unique position in our nations history. He is the POTUS and has no political baggage, he is ultimately beholden to no one for his position (except, of course, the voters). If he is kept on task he could accomplish things no other POTUS could contemplate
