Turns out Kelly is the perfect fit for this Administration, where lying is the norm.
Trump and Kelly are bad liars. They deserve each other.

Has any Presidential administration in history been a bigger train wreck than the Trump administration? As far as Gen. Kelly is concerned, you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. You cannot distance yourself from the slime trail if you work closely with Trump, it will eventually cover you too.

Not so sure about this one.

Perhaps Trump wants Kelly out and dreamed this up. Who are these sources claiming Kelly said that?

Why didn't they instantly resign if they had credibility?

Point taken. Now let's say he was setup for a fall.

Who would believe him if he denied requesting to cover him.

Is Trump also covering his backside size he has known about the interview the FBI conducted with Porter's ex-wife for over a year?

Gee, unnamed sources were right about:

The Trump Tower meeting
Trump writing the letter defending Jr on Air Force One
The parade
Various people leaving the administration
The moron comment

Seems like a lot of people in this administration want to get what is going in on the inside out to the American public.

Lightbulb Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly Asks Staff to Lie to the Press For Him

tRump poisons everyone he comes into close contact with.

Kelly's career in the USMC was a great service to the USA.

His time in the WH as tRump's chief of staff has been abysmal.

This will end badly.

The short answer is NO. No other Presidency has been so upside down and it started right with that negative, hate filled inauguration speech he gave. We can not get on with the business of fixing problems in America because he creates a new problem every week.


If you look at every single person in this administration, from the top down, there is not one sane character in the entire pool. If someone set out to assemble a more dysfunctional, goofy cast, they couldn't do it.


When Trump said he hires the best and brightest, he must have been thinking running America was akin to assembling a cast for that little reality show he was on.

Well that didn't happen, did it? He is just another version on Trump, and the real John Kelly came out long time ago. Same drama filled White House it always was, absolutely nothing have changed. Kelly is major disappointment, and wears his true colors on his sleeves proudly. When he lied about Rep. Frederica Wilson, I lost all respect for him.

I looked through their "stories" and not ONE was POSITIVE toward repubs.

In fact ALL were NEGATIVE.

Not 1 hint of being non-biaed.
