White House chief of staff John Kelly and White House national security adviser John Bolton hurled expletives at one another during a loud argument outside the Oval Office on Thursday.
The exchange between the two was so heated, White House aides were concerned that either Kelly or Bolton would depart their posts immediately, Bloomberg reports.
Sources said the dispute began over a disagreement on how to handle the surge in border crossings, and Bolton was critical of how Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was handling her job. President Trump, who earlier in the day threatened to close our southern border as a Honduran caravan approaches, picked Bolton's side on the matter.

Is the enforcement problem due to a lack of money?
If so, that’s not Nielsen’so fault.
It’s Congress’s.
President Trump should close the southern border totally until Mexico stops this invasion coming at us from their territory.
You know it has to be bad if Bolton is jumping on your case because of illegal immigration.
Good. They are hashing out hiw to solve a very big problem.
Protect the USA! S0r05 is an enemy of the state.
Picking loyalty over right is wrong.
Kelly: Kirstjen doesn't have enough money to close the boarder.
Bolton: well bring in the effin military and close the effin border.
Kelly: Generals are not supposed to swear.
Bolton: I am not an effin general.
The problem as I understand it is our laws have serious loopholes which allow illegals to simply come here and ask for asylum then they get into our system and get to stay here. Very few are actually sent back home; especially those who come as a family.
Ergo the problem sits squarely in the lap of congress. One side wants as many illegal democrat voters as they can get and the other side wants cheap labor. Neither side wants to fix this problem because their donors on one side want them and the other side wants power that only more dem voters can give them.
Congress really needs to be slapped because they are killing America by not dealing with this in the right way. It’s also the platform President Trump ran on and won so the American people really want this fixed. No more illegals! Read my lips!

* The term realist has evolved into Carterism, but it used to mean helping the people who help you. A realist would have no problem applauding Khashoggi’s demise, given his Muslim Brotherhood terrorist background. Whereas idealists like Rubio and Graham seem to be up in arms about his death. My personal view is that if Khashoggi had anything other than a lingering death, the Saudi government went too easy on him.
Thanks for the transcript. I have no doubt that it might not be quite accurate, but it is a matter which I care as much about as the number of scoops of ice cream Potus has.
Cuss all you want to fellas, just MAGA and built that #$%!@ing wall!
Bloomberg? Washington times? Well heck, it must be true then
I had read that she was soft on immigration before she was even nominated. No matter her personal views, she needs to enforce Trump’s policies.
“Kelly: Generals are not supposed to swear.”
Patton never got that memo.
“My personal view is that if Khashoggi had anything other than a lingering death, the Saudi government went too easy on him.”
Agree. Same reasons.
People and trade. Put a halt to the new agreement that is supposed to replace NAFTA. We are the world's biggest customer and best customer; time to keep acting like it.
Rule #1 - the customer is always right.
Rule #2 - when the customer is wrong, see rule #1.
Think about it. THREE people observed this and leaked to the press? How many people observed the fight to get THREE, sorry, Trump traitors to leak to the media?
Has anyone seen a body?
“Bloomberg reports ... Sources said”
yawn. fake news from fake sources published by the damnable Lying Leftist Fake Stream Enemedia ...
Huh? Too much wrong with that to even reply unless I huff some whippet canisters.
Rubio and graham aren’t idealists, they’re bought off pieces of living sh!t.
