’s communications director for 10 days in 2017, was discussing karma with Zoe Larkin , a Yale graduate who conducted the interview, when she asked him if he related to Swift’s song “Karma.” Scaramucci wasn’t familiar with it even after Larkin sang a snippet, but it led him to reveal that“The goddesses said to Cassandra , ‘You will have clairvoyance, you will be able to see the future, but you’ll also be cursed with that no one will believe you,’” Scaramucci said.
He went on to explain that Cassandra, a princess in Greek mythology who was cursed to have her prophecies go unheard, went to her father to tell him that thousands of ships were coming to destroy their city.“That’s sort of like when I told everyone that skinny jeans would come back and they didn’t believe me,” Larkin said.He continued: “What Homer was trying to teach, through the fictional character of Cassandra, is that none of us like the truth.”On Jan. 20, Donald Trump will reclaim the most powerful seat in our nation's government.
