Anthony Scaramucci has a bone to pick with President Donald Trump's Russia policy, and he's not being subtle about it.

The SkyBridge Capital founder took to X on Thursday to argue that Trump's stance on Moscow is shifting in real time, just as tensions between Russia and Ukraine ratchet higher.

A Sanctions Law, Then a Phone Call

Scaramucci's complaint is straightforward: "Trump signed a tough Russia sanctions law" a month ago, but "one call with Putin later, he's lifting sanctions on Russian diesel."

He's pointing to the Russian diesel deal announced earlier this month, which will see Russia send 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. initially.

That's not the only thing bugging him. Scaramucci also slammed Trump for urging Ukraine to stop striking Russian energy infrastructure, and for comments suggesting Ukraine should be under new leadership.

Then there's the ceasefire that wasn't. "His big 'energy ceasefire'? Russian drones hit Kharkiv within hours," Scaramucci said, taking aim at the purported agreement between Moscow and Kyiv.

His conclusion was blunt: "Putin humiliates Trump every chance he gets. Why does Trump allow it?"

Standing Up for Musk on Starshield

A day earlier, Scaramucci found himself defending a different billionaire. On Wednesday, he backed Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: SPCX) CEO Elon Musk over disruptions in the company's Starshield constellation, which countries use for military applications.

Ukrainian officials, along with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had urged Musk to make sure the service ran smoothly.

Musk pushed back, saying the Starshield constellation was managed solely by the Trump administration. Scaramucci agreed with that framing, saying any questions about the reported disruptions should be directed at Trump, not Musk.

Shadow Fleet Relief on the Table

Meanwhile, the Trump administration was reportedly mulling easing restrictions on previously sanctioned "shadow fleet" vessels. The idea would let those tankers transport oil from unsanctioned origins, a move aimed at easing high freight prices and keeping oil moving amid disruptions in the Middle East.

So the picture Scaramucci is painting is one of a White House pulled in several directions at once: tough sanctions on paper, relief in practice, and a ceasefire that didn't survive contact with reality.
