Kelly Went On Tirade About Hating His Job, Called Trump An ‘Idiot’

White House chief of staff John Kelly once ranted about President Donald Trump, calling him an “idiot” and the whole White House “Crazytown” according to a Washington Post report on an advance copy of Bob Woodward’s forthcoming White House memoir, “Fear.”

“He’s an idiot. It’s pointless to try to convince him of anything. He’s gone off the rails. We’re in Crazytown. I don’t even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I’ve ever had,” Kelly reportedly said.

  1. And yet, congressional republicans support him and defend him and pretend everything is a-okay in DC. Greg Sargent just pointed out this Grassley tweet.

    On what freaking planet does Grassley reside? Wow.

  2. John Kyle to replace McCain safe choice

  3. If Gen. Kelly actually cared about the country, he would be actively pushing Trump out of office. That he’s defending and keeping “off the rails” Trump in office, says far more about Kelly than it does Trump.

    It seems Kelly is the only one who doesn’t recognize he has no integrity or credibility. That he’s now known as a racist and misogynist. Perhaps he’s hanging on to this job because he doesn’t have any good options.
