John Kelly: Trump is ‘scared s—less’
The Hill ^ | 06/14/2023 | Julia Shapero

Posted on 06/14/2023 5:11:31 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former White House chief of staff John Kelly said that former President Trump is “scared s—less” after Trump pleaded not guilty to federal charges related to his handling of classified materials on Tuesday.

“He’s scared s—less,” Kelly told The Washington Post. “This is the way he compensates for that. He gives people the appearance he doesn’t care by doing this.”

Following his arraignment in Miami, Trump greeted supporters at a local restaurant and then returned to his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., to deliver remarks to a cheering crowd.

Tucker’s #3 explained Kelly quite well.

Projection. Trump is annoyed and angry.

He needs to make sure he asks for a jury trial.

There will always be a juror who cancels the gubmint.

Most narcissists aren't fearful so I doubt this very much.

Courage is defined not by being without fear.

Rather courage is defined as acting despite being afraid.

If there were no fear—courage would not be required.

Trump leads because he has great courage in the face of federal lawfare that would intimidate everyone else..


Excellent. So true. Washington way doesn’t phase him.

Trump for all his alleged foibles mirrors the courage of our founders in his determination to not yield to tyranny.

Respecting ALL marines as I do, officer or enlisted, I often find myself wondering how Kelly got to be a 4 Star General.

It’s not like he led a charge up San Juan Hill or was an Audie Murphy.

I think his stabbing President Trump in the back was the highlight of his career.

If Trumps goes to jail for this.... its puts lots of people on the chopping block... thats all I am saying. Including but not limited to the current President. Imho the DS thought just indictments would take out Trump and now theyre bewildered how his popularity is growing. Now theyve gone to trial with garbage and a Trump taking control of the GOP nomination.

Once again a treasonous Zeeper tries to plant something that has been worked out between Tucker and Trump because the treasonous Zeeper wants a neocon RINO Zelensky loving warmonger for POTUS. Even if it is Joe Biden.

You rascals are so transparent.

John Kelly is a deep state weasel. He has zero access to Trump to know anything.

Tucker only “adjusted” his thinking after his private text messages were outted during that trial as evidence.

So you're claiming that Tucker is NOT a double-talking weasel?

Alex Pfeiffer:
Trump has a pretty low rate at success in his business ventures.

Tucker Carlson: That’s for sure. All of them fail. What he’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that.


Carlson:
We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait.


Carlson:
He’s a demonic force, a destroyer. But he’s not going to destroy us. I’ve been thinking about this every day for four years.


Carlson:

I hate him passionately.
