Kelly’s gonna have the President doing pushups and squats.
Sounds like they're still leaking info.
Here's a flash for you Deep State idiots: IF WE HAD WANTED JEB BUSH WE WOULD HAVE ELECTED JEB BUSH.
He won't last long. That is not a D.C. value, and certainly not a GOPe value, where hard work means a late night partying with your lobbyists and memorizing how you are supposed to vote.
I would think President Trump realizes (1) his style won't work, and even his darlin' daughter is out of control and (2) there's a coup going on and having a General in the WH is a real good idea. Add to that, he can't trust the advice of a lot of folks he's listening to. Verbally attack AG Sessions? That might be the one thing that could alienate a lot of Deplorables. It was wrong, and President Trump should've realized that.
So it's time for discipline. It would've been pleasing if this vacation had been used for boot camp for anyone involved with the WH. Like I started this with, President Trump is no fool. His only chance to turn this around is Kelley insisting on military-level discipline. I think it's working already.
(thinking as I type....)
..........I get Trump tweets about a half dozen to a dozen a day. I’ve seen zero reduction in his tweets.
Yes, Kelly telling the entire staff that their country comes above the president they are working for makes me nervous.
I fear the deep state will try to isolate Trump and prevent him from hearing from loyalists. It’s bad form, imho,
for one man to be the gatekeeper to the king; it gives too much power into the hands of whoever holds that office.
Where getting ahead and working hard means some cute young thing (male or female) studying public policy at Georgetown so you can join a Congressional staff and work your way up to a top level policy job.
Career paths to the "top" here have nothing to do with talent, hard work, and learning the ropes of your profession. That's for the staff we bring in to do the work, not the "leadership."
Ya got that right. Send in the Marines!
So agreed. And we know enough of Kelly IMO—his gushing about Jeh Johnson, his neocon alliance with Mattis and McMaster, and the pure evil of McMaster to make him a horrid choice as CoS.
That Trump named him such six months in to his admin shows that he still is, unfortunately, all too clueless about the palace coup in process.
Trump is letting Kelly reword them.
Also ominous and believable is the tweet today from Roger Stone saying that Trump neither saw nor approved the statement of support that was released re: McMaster.
