Anthony Scaramucci's new book, "Trump: The President of Blue Collars," is on display Tuesday, offering insight into the time spent by the former communications director for the Trump and 11-day campaign tumultuous at the White House.

The book also describes Scaramucci's analysis of the forces that supported the rise of his former boss, particularly his appeal to working-class and middle-class Americans who felt excluded by modern politics. .

A chapter details a campaign rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Scaramucci says he's begun to fully understand why the flamboyant billionaire was getting noticed. It was his first time as a Trump substitute after briefly working for the campaigns of Jeb Bush and Scott Walker.

"For the first time in a long time, I found that the American dream was not going well," writes Scaramucci. "As I said, it took the campaign of a guy who lived in a Fifth Avenue tower next to Tiffany to show me what was going on in the American middle class."

Throughout the book, Scaramucci often refers to his own roots in the working class and explains how he loved Trump for years before joining his presidential campaign.

"For a blue-collar man working in finance, who wanted to climb the echelons of economy class and reach the gold ring, Mr. Trump was the great Gatsby," writes Scaramucci. "When I read his book, I experienced a turning point, and although I might not have been able to build a ride, I wanted to dream big like him."

The attraction of Trump as a foreigner who uses humor to provoke and flout respected political standards is a major theme of the book.

"In all areas of life, with the exception of the presidency, people seem to be looking abroad, they want the loser to override a system that blocks everyone." , writes Scaramucci. "But as for the presidency, we do not seem to have the same open-mindedness.We are too blinded by the pump and the circumstances of the office.The tradition.We believe that there is some quality solemn and priestly that anyone ascending to the oval must have.
