Kelly’s already one of the greatest ever in his position, before lunch on his first day.
This is all perfectly normal.
“I predict that Gen. Kelly will go down, in terms of the position of
chief of staff, one of the great ever,” Trump said on Monday. “We’re
going to have a good time.”
Wow. This said from the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln!
And just what does he think he’s swimming in in 2017, holy water?
Flashback: New Chief Of Staff Kelly Called US Politics A ‘Cesspool’ In 2016
Come on in, General. Water’s fine.
A cesspool because one of our parties has lost its fucking mind
So, by his own admission, Kelly is walking into a cesspool! Smart!
Kelly can give the president* all the advice he wants to, but it will go in one ear and out the other. I give him (Kelly) six months.
That he strangely thinks that he can clean up, yikes.
Mrs. Kelly: John, the cesspool pumper is here.
Gen. Kelly: Good, tell him I want them both filled up.
Trump might pay a little more attention.
In Trump’s mind the 3 types of persons he likes best are billionaires, generals and blondes.
PK says it best.
Trump’s presentation with Kelly looked like the gorilla introducing the zookeeper…
Or the monkey introducing the organ grinder.

That look on Kelly’s uncertain face.

Barring even stranger developments (wars, economic downturns, pandemics) happening, I got Kelly staying until February of next year and his departure will likely be weirder than Reince’s.
Listening to GOP pundits trying to cape for this administration is nothing short of hysterical. This morning several of the president’s apologists were arguing that PP will respect a general and that there is some magical thing Kelly will do that will make him behave and stop tweeting. None of them can admit to themselves what is plainly obvious. The president is a malignant narcissist who has no ability to control himself and has no idea how he should conduct himself. There’s no managing him, containing, or changing him. Kelly will be gone by Thanksgiving.
Then he’s going to be really tested.
Trump: “Welcome aboard, John… put 'er there.”
Kelly: “I ain’t shaking your fucking hand, you weirdo.”
Media take-away: He’s either a patriot or a power-mad general…
“I predict that Gen. Kelly will go down…"
Yes, I’m sure he will, Donald, especially since you will provide him with those Trump-branded kneepads and, of course, those Trump-branded tissues and mouthwash after he’s finished.
