Ex-Trump chief-of-staff Kelly says second term would be ‘nonstop gunfight’

Former President Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly said a second term for the ex-president would result in a “nonstop gunfight” with Congress.

Kelly was Trump’s second chief of staff and came into the job hoping to instill discipline on the White House. He ended up lasting in the role for nearly a year and a half but had little success in ending the drama and infighting the characterized Trump’s administration.

“It would be chaotic,” Kelly said of what a second term might look like in the New York Times opinion piece.

“It just simply would be chaotic, because he’d continually be trying to exceed his authority but the sycophants would go along with it. It would be a nonstop gunfight with the Congress and the courts.”

Trump will need to work with Congress, they with him.

Nope.

Congress is not going to work with Trump. They don't want to work with him, and they don't believe they need to work with him. He is too much of a threat to their grifting. The Democrats believe they can "fix" the next election show, and the Republicans are all too happy to be their junior partners.

More than likely, they will try to have him jailed and then killed. before letting him get into office. He has nothing to lose by attacking them as viciously as possible before they accomplish that project.

If Trump does survive, he will, of necessity, become the most ruthless dictator this country has ever seen. And he may fail, even so. If he doesn't survive, the country will collapse under the strain of lost wars overseas, inflation that destroys the currency, and waves of violent domestic insurrections.

The question will be open as to who will be left standing on the piles of burning rubble to call themselves the new rulers.

The people who own the Democrat party do not care about any of that because they do not believe they will ever personally suffer, no matter what happens to the common people. And Congress is just a bunch of paid actors putting on the show for their sponsors. It's a pretty nice gig while it lasts.

They are all in for some unpleasant surprises.

Much like the royal families and their minions in the early 1900's before World War 1, today's "elites" will be swept away by forces they unleashed.

So is that a good thing or a bad thing?
