White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino alarmed insiders in President Donald Trump’s orbit after he unleashed a mysterious profanity-laced tirade against unnamed staffers Tuesday night.

Scavino’s Wednesday night blowup, posted on X, seemed to be triggered by leaks from at least one former Trump administration official. As chief of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, Scavino decides who gets appointed to nearly every position in the federal government.
“When you get fired for doing a spectacularly s— job at an agency, with your badge deactivated, building access revoked, and the full ‘you’re dead to us’ package — or when you get passed over for Ambassadorships, Boards, or Commissions — because there are candidates who are actually far more qualified than you,” Scavino wrote, “please resist the urge to sprint to every media outlet that will platform your lying b——, and then falsely attack the people in the Presidential Personnel Office who are out here serving President Trump, the Administration, and the American people each and every day.”
“Just take the L, and move on, LOSER,” Scavino’s post concluded without naming anyone.
“Wonder who he is talking about,” far-right activist Laura Loomer wrote on X, quoting the post.
“I think Dan has a pretty good idea of who is leaking baloney to the press,” MAGA rally fixture Blake Marnell argued.
“Myself and American patriots are grateful for the work Scavino and his team are doing to staff the administration with the most loyal and qualified people,” Andrew Pollack, a Parkland father and Trump ally, wrote. “Keep going.”

White House Principal Deputy Communications Director Kaelan Dorr amplified Scavino’s post without comment, while OAN host David Pollack added: “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you do, then this message is for you.”
The missive landed as the White House was already on defense over a separate controversy involving Natalie Harp, Trump’s executive assistant and constant companion.
Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) had triggered a White House eruption days earlier by referencing Harp at a campaign rally, prompting the administration’s rapid response team to pile on publicly and call a CNN reporter a “disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment,” according to the Washington Post.
MS NOW reported that Harp declined the standard security clearance process multiple times over more than a year before Trump personally intervened and she completed the required paperwork.
“Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump’s team,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
