When I first heard the name "Scaramucci" I thought someone jokingly named the new communications director by the famous clown character from French/Italian comedies going back to the 18th Century. We got rid of one inept moron, that was replaced by a Harvard educated scoundrel and "Arschkriecher" (look up the German term). UcenterDress informal casual wears for a beach wedding

Scaramuccia (literally "little skirmisher"), also
known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a
stock clown character of the Italian commedia
dell'arte. The role combined characteristics of the
zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked
henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress
and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by
Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice.
History
Although Tiberio Fiorillo (1608–1694) was not the
first to play the role, he greatly developed and popularized it. He removed the mask, used white powder on his face, and employed grimaces. He had a small beard, long mustache, and wore a predominantly black costume with a white ruff. In France he became known as Scaramouche.[1]
In the 19th century the English actor
Joseph Grimaldi and his son J. S.
Grimaldi made numerous appearances
as Scaramouche.
Character
Scaramouche entertains the audience by his "grimaces and affected language". Salvator Rosa says that Coviello (like Scaramouche) is "sly, adroit, supple, and conceited". In
Molière's The Bourgeois Gentleman, Coviello disguises his master as a Turk and pretends to speak Turkish. Both Scaramouche and Coviello can be clever or stupid—as the actor sees fit to portray him. Scaramouche entertains the audience
