(Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)Axelle/Bauer-Griffin—FilmMagic  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jul 31, 2017 10:08 PM UTC [Kate Hudson](http://time.com/4621357/celebrity-businesses/item/kate-hudson/) may not be known for her overt political activism, but on Monday she threw her hat in the ring with the rest of the internet’s commentators after news broke of [Anthony Scaramucci](http://fortune.com/2017/07/31/anthony-scaramucci-fired-quotes/)‘s dismissal as the White House’s communications director. Scaramucci served President Trump in the role for just ten days before being removed. So Hudson had a choice response to their short-lived professional relationship, connecting Scaramucci’s tenure with one of her breakout film roles in the classic [2003 rom-com](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251127/) _How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days_ alongside [Matthew McConaughey.](http://time.com/4657703/matthew-mcconaughey-president-trump/) Posting on Instagram, Hudson shared a Photoshopped image of Trump and Scaramucci in a poster stamped with the movie’s title next to their smiling faces. “Box office results are in! The #1 comedy in America!” she wrote, rather bitingly, alongside the post. In just an hour, it racked up more than 90,000 likes. In the original movie, Hudson’s character takes on the task of getting a guy to dump her in ten days by doing all the things a woman supposedly should _not_ do in a relationship. Ultimately, however, she fails at her attempt to break their bond: the chemistry and mutual affection is just too real. In the Trump-Scaramucci version, of course, the ending is not quite so happy. Scaramucci was ousted just after Trump swore in a new Chief of Staff, [John Kelly](http://time.com/4879523/john-kelly-donald-trump-chief-of-staff/), to allow him a “clean slate,” according to [a statement](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/31/us/politics/anthony-scaramucci-white-house.html?%5Fr=0) from press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4881621/kate-hudson-trump-scaramucci/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4881621/kate-hudson-trump-scaramucci/"},"headline":"Kate Hudson Just Mercilessly Trolled Anthony Scaramucci With a 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' Joke","datePublished":"2017-07-31T22:08:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:03.235Z","description":"The 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' actress reconsiders that classic rom-com in relation to the latest developments in the White House.","url":"https://time.com/4881621/kate-hudson-trump-scaramucci/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf825f9725fd4fdc4/6988d7e97cdbac4781d596ee/kate-hudson.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf825f9725fd4fdc4/6988d7e97cdbac4781d596ee/kate-hudson.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"World Premiere Of \"Snatched\"","caption":"World Premiere Of \"Snatched\"","creditText":"Axelle/Bauer-Griffin—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4881621/kate-hudson-trump-scaramucci/","name":"Kate Hudson Just Mercilessly Trolled Anthony Scaramucci With a 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' Joke"}}]}] ```
