Sheriff Clarke Was In Talks for a Trump White House Job—Then John Kelly Killed It
The Daily Beast ^ | 09.05.17 | LACHLAN MARKAY, ASAWIN SUEBSAENG

Sheriff David A. Clarke just lost out on yet another Trump administration job—and he has the president’s chief of staff to thank.

Four sources working in and close to the Trump White House said his failure to land a gig in the West Wing or at the Department of Homeland Security, where Clarke unsuccessfully sought a job earlier this year, was in large part the result of opposition from White House chief of staff John Kelly.

Make of it what you will. I thought Clarke was a forceful and convincing advocate for Trump's policies.

Clarke, like Gorka before him, didn’t fit into Kelly’s version of a kinder, gentler Trump. No pitbulls, only lapdogs.

Kelly is holding us back.
He appears to be working at isolating the president, so that Trump is surrounded by nothing but liberals.
Apparently, the president accepts this for now, probably to restore some modicum of calm to the White House Administration after eight months of personnel coming and going at a rapid pace. Perhaps he wishes to wait until a full year or two has passed before off-loading Mr. Kelly The Isolator.

These sensational stories coming out of the Whitehouse may or may not be true.

Too many people playing games these days.

I don’t trust much of anything.

I wish Trump would have come in with a team of ass kickers all on the same page.

This is from the Daily Beast, no friend of Trump.

The bus pulls up in front of a barracks in Parris Island.

A group of recruits lines up and a grizzled gunny gives them ‘the talk’

He finishes with..

In this Mans Marine Corps there are no White, Black, Red, Yellow or any other type.

From this day forward EVERYONE is green.
EVERYONE will get the same treatment.

Now back on the bus

ALL you DARK green recruits get in the back and all you LIGHT green recruits sit up front.

Hopefully Kelly will go through on his threats to quit so President Trump can get someone who leans right and can start the process of getting rid of all the leftists slithering around in the swamp there.

Nah.. Clarke is not a rubber stamping yes bot. I have seen listened to him maNY times. His clarity and questioning with rational thought would never be allowed. I. Don’t think he’s a big Govt guy. That wouldn’t work out.
We have no wall and still have obamacare. No threat of ver
To and no bully pulpit. Trumps belief in govt healthcare hasn’t changed.
I don’t think that would wash with someone who isn’t a lemming. Throw in a trillion dollar stimulus of taxpayer rip off.. just like obama.. and no.

I sincerely believe he is the most qualified to succeed PDJT in 2020 or 2024. I think he will be tougher on immigration and domestic terrorists than DJT, which would be GREAT, if the nation lasts that long.

Even if it's true, I don't think it's a bad thing. Sheriff Clarke may have been a forceful and convincing advocate for Trump's policies, but that doesn't mean he's cut out for an advisory role in the White House.

Some people should be in advocacy roles in the media. I'd include Clarke, Sebastian Gorka, and Trump's attorney Jay Sekulow in this group.

Some people should be working as advisors. Other than Steve Bannon, you probably wouldn't know who most of these people are.
