Donald Trump has been warned that his own party could throw him under the bus before the US elections are over. Former White House Communications Director and now Trump critic Anthony Scaramucci revealed his prediction to BBC Radio 4 about the GOP’s next move. This comes after President Trump made inflammatory and baseless suggestions of voter fraud.
Scaramucci said: “His game plan is to go to war and litigate in two states if they don’t go his way. That’s what he’s going to do and it will depend on the Republican leadership.”
“Here’s a prediction I will make boldly: Mitch McConnell has everything he wants from Donald Trump.
“He has three Supreme Court justices, 400 judicial appointments.
“They think he’s a lunatic, everyone thinks he’s a lunatic. They’re going to fire Trump now, so I think President Trump is in for a rude awakening.”

Mitch McConnell, the recently re-elected Republican leader in the Senate, told a news conference in Kentucky that he was not concerned that President Trump would jump ahead of the vote count to claim victory or threaten to take the election fight to the Supreme Court.
He said: “Going to court is the way we resolve the uncertainty in our country.
“So no, I’m not at all concerned that the president is suggesting that because the other party is already doing it too.
“It can be anticipated that, in close elections, both sides will have a lawyer and end up in court. It has happened over and over again, nothing unusual.”
The American financier added: “‘You may think you have won, but you cannot declare victory.’ That’s what I heard him say.
“So I think the president is going to have a rude awakening here.
“They are not going to demolish the institutions of American democracy for President Trump.”
Biden’s campaign says it will combat any effort by the president to go to the Supreme Court to prevent ballots from being tabulated.
A statement from Biden’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon warned his “legal teams [are] ready to deploy to resist that effort “and they will” prevail. “
