I think the big story here is that Trump is very confident of Kelly’s abilities. He’s now got a Number 2 who can really whip a large organization in shape.
You can say all you want about Trump’s genius as a builder and politician. But to make it all work, he needs department heads — and especially a chief of staff — who are top notch. When you get as high up as he is, your hiring skills are absolutely key.
Overall, this is a very good sign that MAGA will now become more executable....
I think Kelly is allied with McMaster and Mattis and McMaster is looking to do Trump in.
But we will see.
