Anthony Scaramucci's comparison isn't exactly original (though the fictional character Logan Roy is more often compared to Rupert Murdoch, also a media baron) but it seemed to catch Stephanie Ruhle off-guard when he used Trump and "family guy" in the same sentence.
As a fan of the HBO series, I'm inclined to agree with this comparison.

Anthony Scaramucci, former President Donald Trump's one-time communications director, likened his ex-boss to Logan Roy, the ruthless patriarch on the hit HBO series "Succession."
"This is a family guy, whether you like Mr. Trump or not. He's sort of the Logan Roy of American politics. He has this love-hate relationship with his family," Scaramucci told MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle.
"Ok, hold on a minute," Ruhle said. "Logan Roy is not a family man."
"Oh, no, no, I — you gotta watch the show very carefully," Scaramucci said. "He actually loves those kids. It's just this whole narcissistic web that he's put those kids into."
And while I think the comparison is valid, in general, Trump doesn't possess any of the brains, business acumen, or charisma of Logan Roy on Succession, easily one of the best shows on television.
