Another hit piece by the dynamic duo at nyt.

Why would anyone believe anything in the NYT?

Donald J. Trump is the President. Nuff Said.

I am not a fan of Mr. Kelly’s, and I have not liked what I’ve seen and read about him since he became CoS. He himself is sometimes disrespectful of the President. He needs to realize he’s a servant, not a general any longer, or he needs to go.

“Three people”

They’re not officials, not sources, not spokesmen.

Fake News

Today’s talking points in the media are “Trump is alienated from everyone around him including his supporters, and everyone’s abandoning him.”

Yeah, that’ll work, losers.

Hey President Trump, good men are hard to find who aren’t either political or politically correct.....Keep Gen. Kelly warm and well fed, he is America’s friend as well as yours!

Sure, it is a hit piece, but details such as Kelly reporting to Panetta are very likely true. And worrisome.

If Keith Shiller actually leaves the WH there is still more to worry about.

Also hard to imagine a president in 2017 without regular web access.

Hey, President Trump—I understand why you might feel you can’t fire Kelly right now, but beware—he is no more your friend than is McMaster, Cohn, Powell or Mattis!

These people are quite capable of speaking for themselves...and the media guessing....is just that.

Dear Media....No one listens to your anymore.

Kelly is a great man, but I doubt he’s a Trumpian.

At least the National Enquirer admits to making up their material. But mind you, they were the first to report on John Edwards’ indiscretions (well ahead of MoDo and her crowd).

Totally agree. Kelly will end up being a horrible choice. He keeps trump isolated and has fired almost all of the trump supporters in the white house. The sooner this democrat goes, the better.

So what's the solution? General Kelley did real well at DHS. The WH was spinning out of control. President Trump's style is free wheeling debate. Press conferences were out of control with screaming lunatics yelling not questions but THEIR agenda at the Press Secretary. Ivanka, it seems, could run to daddy any time she wanted to and spew here NYC fake-liberal agenda. The place needs military discipline for the presidency to survive. Thank God that was put in place before Hurricane Harvey hit.

Considering all that, if not Kelly, than who? I'm not unhappy about there being some structure and those press conferences being under control.

“But one associate who spoke to Mr. Kelly last month said the former commander had remarked that his current assignment was by far the hardest job he had ever had. His favorite gig, he jokes, was his first: Marine grunt.”

This is good! Mr. Kelly should work a hard as his boss.

A Marine is a lot tougher. I don’t believe anything Trump could’ve said would be a surprise to anyone who’s served in the military, even the Air Force.

“Kelly is a great man, but I doubt he’s a Trumpian.”

Then he’s not really a “great man,” now is he?
