A new report from CNN says former White House chief of staff John Kelly has unloaded on his former boss in very stark terms in private.
Since leaving the Trump administration, Kelly has made a few public comments criticizing President Donald Trump and his conduct in office, though he’s been more muted than others who have spoken out about their time working for Trump.
Jake Tapper reported Friday on a quote from Kelly about the president that he has apparently told people close to him:
“The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life.”

We have his word on this ‘cause he’d not be wanting a major book deal, now would he?
Probably a former drill sergeant. . . .
“Have you noticed the leaks which were so prevalent in the beginning of his term have completely stopped?”

EXCELLENT POINT!!!!!!! Which one, (or was it all), of the fired scumbags needs a complete near death ass whoopin’?
Guess he’s never met 0bama or Clinton.
Looks like General Johnboy didn’t learn his lessons on chain-of-command
I applied to help his administration but never got a call. I wish there was a way to connect people with experience, skill and balls with his administration.
We seem to have dueling October surprises going on. I think I’ll stick with Hunter!
[President Trump has been surrounded by Swamp Creatures from the very beginning. He got a lot of really bad advice on staffing. He probably thought he had a political party behind him. He did not.]
Trump’s mistake is he keeps acting like he’s in the private sector, where a majority stake keeps him at the helm of his corporations. Presidencies are awarded to those who get a majority of the citizenry’s votes. Public relations matter, and a key aspect of a presidency’s PR efforts is making the public think that he treats his employees well.
Unlike Romney, Trump hasn’t said “I love firing people”. But he might as well have, given the extremely fraught relations he’s had with the people he’s hired. Unlike the unknown fame-seekers on The Apprentice, these are substantial people who have acquired substantial reputations in their own right. The one thing they have in common is friction with Trump. What are low-info voters supposed to conclude? Some will think Trump is a scumbag. To paraphrase Churchill, when you have to fire a man, it costs nothing to be polite.

For Trump, it’s like pulling teeth.
“career bureaucrats and politicians” = Deep State Swampers. All of them.
I don’t vote for the candidate who would make the best boyfriend or have the best yelp review.
We need to keep our President in continuous prayer. What a burden he has to bear. May God be merciful on us. Knowing that God is in control of all things . . . President Trump may have been chosen by God to usher in the endtimes. The United States’ recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel was a biggie.
Interesting how all these generals confirmed by the Turdle, have a chest full of medals, with bronze stars etc...but no purple hearts, and by the time they get a combat deployment, they are already high ranking, miles away from the fire. As kelly was enlisted during Vietnam, but by the time he got out of college/acadamy it was 1975. “Mad Dog”Mattis has the same bio.
Hey, Gen. Jackass Kelly. ALL human beings are flawed. But since you were a general who presumably crossed paths with at least a few of America’s enemies during your climb up the military ranks, doesn’t say much about your judgment that you find President Trump more flawed than those enemies. Doesn’t say much about your character either.
And the marine generals were the worst
That is a superlative comparison that is impossible for any human being to make. No person on earth has the mental capacity to sum up, from all the people he has ever met, which one is the most flawed. Utterly impossible.
I dare say that most people reading this have never in their life heard it said of anyone by anyone. People are not stupid enough to say it or believe anyone who does say it.
“according to friends” Cnn is playtime for little brains
Mr. Kelly must think Trump should participate in a meeting to peruse the plan past everyone in order to engage the other’s feedback which will help structure everyone’s engagement toward a possible defined outcome with minimum negative downside and the most positive press coverage.
Mr. Kelly, as the phase goes “ lead, follow or get the hell outta the way!”.
I intend to watch this, pen in hand, to list and report back on all the traitors ratting on Trump. It will be very interesting.
I advise watching this show......never mind the usual excuse "I don't want to give CNN any ratings". It's too late to worry about that now....you must know who the enemies are and what they're doing.....and arm yourself accordingly.

Has he ever met Sheila Jackson Lee?
