Kelly expected to resign soon, no longer on speaking terms with Trump

Recommended Posts

John Kelly is expected to resign as White House chief of staff in the coming days, two sources familiar with the situation unfolding in the West Wing tell CNN.

Seventeen months in, Kelly and President Donald Trump have reached a stalemate in their relationship and it is no longer seen as tenable by either party. Though Trump asked Kelly over the summer to stay on as chief of staff for two more years, the two have stopped speaking in recent days.

The expected departure would end a tumultuous tenure for Kelly, who was brought on to bring order to the White House but whose time as chief of staff has often been marked by the same infighting and controversy that has largely defined Trump's presidency from its beginning. Many of the storms in which Kelly became embroiled were by his own making.

Oh, and it also came out today that Kelly met with Mueller's investigators to answer questions related to potential obstruction of justice by Trump.

White House chief of staff John Kelly was interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team in recent months, three people with knowledge of the matter told CNN.

Kelly responded to a narrow set of questions from special counsel investigators after White House lawyers initially objected to Mueller's request to do the interview earlier this summer, the sources said. Kelly is widely expected to leave his position in the coming days and is no longer on speaking terms with President Donald Trump, CNN reported earlier Friday.

When it comes to the Trump White House, you literally cannot make this shit up.

BTW, I'm jonesing for his next campaign rally. The fact there hasn't been one in a relatively long time couldn't possibly have anything to do with volatility of the stock market and recent unemployment figures.

Boom goes the dynamite.

The newspaper reported that the president, famous for the catchphrase "you're fired," had long been "unhappy" with Kelly, but "could not bring himself to fire him." 

Instead, Trump reportedly worked behind the scenes with his son-in-law and senior adviser, Kushner, to see the chief of staff replaced, with their eyes set on Nick Ayers, the 36-year-old who has served as Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff for more than a year.

Lol. Once again, he couldn't actually fire someone himself.

"chief of staffs"? jesus

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.
