We gotta get the leaks stopped, he said on Fox News Sunday. I will take dramatic action to stop those leaks.

Were going to leak on culturally changing that, because its extremely unprofessional, he said. Hes the commander in chief, president of the United States, the people that are standing around him that are doing that sort of nonsenses are actually un-American, theyre doing an injustice to the institution of the American presidency.
If theyre going to stay on that staff, theyre going to stop leaking, he continued. If youre going to keep leaking, Im going to fire everybody.
Scaramucci, a former Wall Street financier, was appointed to his new role late last week. According to a New York Times report, part of why Trump wanted Scaramucci in the post is the president believed he could help crack down on leakers.

March 10, 1977
http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/the-prince-and-the-paupers-19770310
When Rainier finds out about a swindler, he throws him out immediately. Expulsions in Monaco are a purely administrative matter. You get an order saying be out by a certain date (usually five days) and that's it. Expulsions are not a matter of public record, and a request for a copy of an expulsion order is considered audacious. There's no hearing, and certainly no machinery for appeal.
People are thrown out for far lesser crimessuch as insulting policemen, creating a public nuisance, not paying bills on time or in any way insulting the man on the hill. A wealthy Englishwoman, Lady Docker, was expelled for allegedly ripping up a small paper Monegasque flag in a restaurant. Her son hadn't been invited to one of Rainier's parties and she was reportedly pissed off. She was soon to find that Rainier's summary expulsions are honored in the three nearest French departements, so that she (and her 214-foot yacht) was banned from the entire Riviera for the rest of her life.
"My dear boy," said another lawyer, "it's a simple way to get rid of people without a messy trialit's a feudal system and that's all there is to it."
In 1967, a friend of John Kelly Jr.'sPrincess Grace's brotheropened an American college in Monaco. Things were fine until Rainier heard that some of the kids were smoking marijuana. The college and everyone in it were expelled. The prince was reported to be "upset" about the incident.

Right up until the first time he wants a reporter to print or air something he wants to get out, but that he doesn't want his name attached to. I give him until Tuesday.
