It was allegedly reported by members of the White House staff that John Kelly called Trump an idiot. He however denied such reports and dismissed the report as “total BS.”
The last person who was accused of calling Trump by a disrespectful name no longer worked at the White House.
Rex Tillerson was accused of doing the same but unlike Kelly he refused to say whether he did or not.
Kelly made it clear that the rumor was false and said his time with the President surpasses anyone else.
So why would staffers say such thing about one of their superiors? Was there a plan to undermine Kelly or even Trump?
Or maybe Kelly did call Trump an idiot and now was denying he did so?
At this point it didn’t seem to matter that much since another report stated that Kelly could become the Veteran Affairs Chief.
New VA
“There have been discussions among the senior staff and the president directly about the possibility of Gen. Kelly going there [to the VA],”a source said.
The person who disclosed the information was familiar about the situation.
It was stated that the department needed someone with political capacity. The department has about 370,000 persons.
The person still had to be approved by the Senate, so Trump wanted someone who was considered strong enough to fill the post.
It was not yet confirmed if Kelly was indeed chosen for the post.
It was also felt that putting Kelly in such a position could cause more harm than good.
