President Trump's trip to El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio may have been a "catastrophe," but he's still heading to his New Jersey golf club feeling "smug," according to former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.
Scaramucci spoke to The Associated Press ahead of Trump's upcoming 10-day trip and said that the president, believe it or not, "doesn't think he is facing any challenges" at the moment.
