Donald Trump Corrects John Kelly: ‘The Wall Is the Wall, It Has Never Changed or Evolved’

President Donald Trump corrected his Chief of Staff John Kelly after he said that the president had “evolved” on the wall. “There’s been an evolutionary process that this president has gone through,” Kelly said in an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, pointing out that Trump had “very definitely changed his attitude” towards DACA recipients and the wall.

But Trump pushed back on Twitter against the suggestion that he had evolved on the wall.

“The Wall is the Wall, it has never changed or evolved from the first day I conceived of it,” Trump said.

Again, FW, who cares what Kelly says or doesn’t say?

Trump does since he was forced to correct him this morning with a tweet.

Do try and keep up, ok?

Early on during the campaign, Rev./Dr. Jeffress brought up the connection between Trump’s wall and Nehemiah. (Didn’t mention anything about the gates, though! We only want one gate.)

20 feet TALLER!

The President can do what he wants with his employee. But nervous types like you believe every stupid bit of fake news out there. Pathetic!

[DoodleDawg]

Fake news was at it again

How can it be fake if there is film of Kelly saying it to the Fox reporter?

[miss marmelstein]

Please feel free to vote for someone else if this president is so incapable. Kasich, Graham, Flake - they’ll all meet your every expectation of good taste and conservative values.

[JonPreston]

The President can do what he wants with his employee.

First, they are OUR employees and second, cleaning up their mess isn't helpful to his agenda.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

What has transpired seems like a Trump negotiating ploy.

1. Trump sends Kelly to say that Trump has softened his immigration stance.
2. The media claims Trump is finally seeing the light and that America wants to keep the borders open and the illegals here.
3. Trump says ‘wait a minute’, we still need the wall and tough immigration. And Americans yell ‘Go Trump’.

[miss marmelstein]

First, he’s Trump’s employee, not mine. Otherwise, I’d tell Kelly to get back earlier from lunch and knock off playing Solitaire on his computer.

And if you think he spends too much time cleaning up messes, vote for a swamp creature. God knows they’re out there.

[Ms Mable]

Nope, didn’t see that at all!

It came across as Kelly thinks he is the brains in the WH. Like he’s leading the president’s decisions....

In August, President Trump asked for a certain newspaper clipping, thus throwing the White House into the Trump version of Defcon 2. Chief of Staff John F. Kelly assigned two aides to investigate how the clip made its way to the president without being “cleared.” These aides, anonymous but clearly brave, determined that Keith Schiller, a former New York City police officer and Trump’s longtime body man, had slipped the “contraband newsprint” to the commander in chief. Soon, Schiller was gone from the White House. Kelly, a retired Marine general but an American sniper at heart, had picked off another.

Otherwise, I’d tell Kelly to get back earlier from lunch and knock off playing Solitaire on his computer.

That's one difference between us, I'd tell Kelly not to come back from lunch.

Your "vote for someone else" nonsense is a juvenile response to my complaint about some rats in DJTs cabinet.

[Okeydoker]

Kelly is a democrat globalist dirtbag that undermines trumps positions repeatedly. He should have been canned years ago.

[Okeydoker]

He is weak on illegal immigration, favors a wholesale amnesty.

[Okeydoker]

Because he is ademocrat who has never supported trumps positions.

[proust]

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.”

[Okeydoker]

Correct. Kelly is a swamp dirtbag. Always has been.

[Okeydoker]

Totally agree. There are no bigger dirtbags in the white house than kelly and mcmaster.

[Okeydoker]

What kelly said is not fake news. Also, this is not the first time kelly has publicly undercut trump. Kelly also has eliminated from the white house most trump supporters.

Get your facts straight. Kelly has never been a true trump supporter. He wasnt at DHS and he isnt now.

Right on all points, Miss M! I will never, EVER, forget the mindless, hair-on-fire reaction to Trump saying he’d sign anything they put in front of him. The panic was worthy of very young children who are told on Christmas eve that Christmas has been cancelled. I’d feel sorry for the kids, but not for adults who willingly choose hysteria over rationality.

Trump always meant he’d sign anything that included his top priorities. That’s how he makes deals. Not, ‘You get everything and I get nothing,’ — as the panic button crowd imagined. Rather, Trump gets his main priorities or there’s no deal. That’s straight out of his book: no deal is better than a bad deal.

But the hysteria cabal will keep going strong. They seem to need periodic spells of panic the way users need a periodic fix. There’s no reasoning with such a POV. Oh well.
