Rumblings of discontent are growing louder in the halls of the White House, as former communications director Anthony Scaramucci reveals the mistakes he made during his brief stint under President Trump. In an exclusive extract from his new book, Scaramucci claims that the president's decision to sack him was a direct result of a heated argument over the $5,000 election promise, a campaign pledge that Trump made during the 2016 presidential election. The promise, which was meant to be a token gesture to donors, was seen as a sign of Trump's desperation to secure funding for his campaign.

The fallout from Scaramucci's departure has sent shockwaves through the markets, with investors taking notice of the president's increasingly insecure leadership style. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted by 200 points in the wake of Scaramucci's revelations, with many analysts warning of a potential economic downturn. As the president's popularity continues to wane, investors are growing increasingly concerned about the impact on the economy, with many calling for a more stable and experienced leadership team.

Since last quarter, Saudi Aramco's quarterly financials have revealed a 10% decline in profits to $113.8 billion, a significant drop from the $124.3 billion reported in the same period last year. The energy giant's disappointing results sent shockwaves through the markets, causing a ripple effect that has been felt across the global economy. As the world's largest oil producer, Saudi Aramco plays a critical role in the global energy market, and its decline is being closely watched by investors and policymakers alike.

What drove this decline, and what implications will it have for the global economy, remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: the decline of Saudi Aramco's profits is a sign of the increasingly uncertain times we are living in. As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, rising nationalism, and economic uncertainty, investors and policymakers will be watching Saudi Aramco's next move closely, and wondering what the future holds for the global economy.
