Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries, a stubborn zit: these are just some of the things that lasted longer than Anthony Scaramucci's White House gig.
The Wall Street big shot turned White House Communications Director had just ten days in his new role before his departure amidst a wave of scandal on Monday, and Twitter has not failed to see the funny side.

Trump removes Scaramucci
US President Donald Trump's communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, is out after just ten days on the job, the White House said on Monday.
The social media network has quickly lit up with lists of things that lasted longer than Scaramucci's tenure, and the results are quite humorous.
Kim Kardashian's ill-fated - and unfortunately televised - second marriage was a commonly-used yard stick, with many remarking Scaramucci's stint makes the 72-day arrangement seem marathon-length by comparison.

I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but every Kim Kardashian marriage has lasted longer than Scaramucci's time as WH Comm Dir.

Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries lasted SEVEN TIMES longer than Anthony #Scaramucci as White House communications director.

But, Kardashians aside, plenty of other comparisons were to be drawn.
Scaramucci held his job for less time than some women have endured a period, or a particularly stubborn pimple.
I've literally had zits that last longer than Scaramucci did in the White House. Then again, that guy was a zit on common decency.

Twitter users just could not stop having a laugh about 'The Mooch' who, as US Buzzfeed reporter Charlie Warzel pointed out, will be "a great pub trivia answer in six years".
