Donald Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff isn’t so sure that the former president will mount a comeback campaign in 2024, even as he continues to tease another run for the White House.
“Trump won’t run,” John Kelly, a former Homeland Security secretary who served as Trump’s chief of staff for a year and a half, told The Atlantic. “He’ll continue talking about it; he may even declare, but he will not run. And the reason is he simply cannot be seen as a loser.”
Kelly has remained relatively quiet since leaving his post at the White House in 2019, though he has spoken critically of Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Exactly !
I always get my accurate information from Slate, and The Hill ../s
That explains why Trump didn’t run in 2016. Didn’t want to risk it.
He won’t run because he will be too old. The country is not going to elect to men in a row who are in their late 70’s after seeing what’s happened with Biden.
From the Hill. Talk about losers.
This article may as well have come from CNN. Just as worthless.
Trump doing a major interview with GB News/Nigel Farage right now...Farage thinks Trump’s running based on his comments...
I am sure Kelly crawled out from under rock now because of it...
There is a whole new breed of "Poll Watchers" after the fraud of 2020. FAAFO...
Another pathetic backstabber 🤬
“So many apprentices...
It amazes me the sellouts in Trump’s circle.
Makes you wonder who had his ear, and was suggesting losers
for him to appoint.”
I’ve asked that question many times and nobody seems to know the answer. The only people I’m aware of in Trump’s inner circle that had his ear and were with him from the beginning to the end are Jared and Ivanka.
To be honest, I don’t think they know the politicians well
enough to pick his people for him.
They were pretty savvy in business, but when it comes to
politics, they were novices. They did things at his
direction.
“he simply cannot be seen as a loser”
What the heck is he talking about. President Trump has already won 2 elections. In 2024, he will win a third.
Lulz.
KellyIdiot.
Double lulz.
Trump’s policies were mostly great, but his personnel judgment was very flawed.
The media is just trying to select our candidates again. The original article to this quote is pushing Mike Pence to run.
It’s hard to get good help. His best chief of staff who everyone loved is out with a book today selling out Trump testing positive for Covid. Trump cannot trust anyone.
John Kelly, another deep state ahole general, was plotting against President Trump from day one.
F-— him and the horse he rode in on.
You really think that Pence, or anyone else, told Trump who to hire?
President Trump has more energy than men half his age.
Give me a break.
Yes, because Reince Priebus was, too.
Mr. Kelly is a loyal Catholic. Sadly, he does not understand the dynamic power of pro-life billionaires like Trump, R. Caruso, etc.
Trump picked Kelly. He picked Mattis. He picked Sessions and Tillerson and Mnuchin and DeVos and Carson and all the rest. His picks, in many cases, were terrible and he has nobody but himself to blame. If there is one improvement in his second term I’m really hoping for it’s that he chooses better people for his administration.
