https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/03/u...aff-trump.html

"In his six months as Homeland Security secretary, John F. Kelly often described the White House as one of the most dysfunctional organizations he had ever seen, complained to colleagues and allies about its meddling, incompetence and recklessness, and was once so angry he briefly considered quitting."

DJT: "Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible."

Taken together we have the portrait of a DJT inspired and created dysfunction!

You chose to focus on one paragraph from the article, yet the message conveyed in the article is one of positive change by President Trump in his hiring of the General.

Negative spin. It's what liberals do best.

NY Times so take it with a grain of salt. Glenn Thrush is a Dem shill and was revealed as asking Hillary's staff to approve stories he wrote about her during the campaign before he submitted them to his own editor. You should see him in press briefings. A bald headed clown.

However, Rush said Trump had an open door policy so staff could wander in, sometimes interrupting meetings. Staff would give him books, magazines and articles to read. A good executive asst acts as a gatekeeper so not sure what Kelly does exactly. Makes me wonder what Trump's exec asst does, too. I don't think his longtime exec asst moved to DC.

...
"meddling, incompetence and recklessness," sums it up.

"Positive change" going forward does not negate what has happened up until now.

And that "positive change" is still in the hoping and planning stage. Trump was not contained by anyone up until now. He is solely responsible for hiring that cokehead Scaramucci, just two weeks ago.

Save your "spin", you are going to need it, if you think Trump can be "managed".

Blah,blah,blah...denial. Blah, blah, blah...attack the source. Blah, blah, blah...ad hominem attack. Blah, blah,blah...diversion.

Kelly is there to root out the "leakers", to keep the skeletons in the closet!

I heard a report that Kelly is now on trump's ass constantly. It's what needs to happen until we can get him out of there, but I don't imagine Cheeto Jesus will like it very much.
