Timelines
How long Kelly will stay remains to be seen. The President needs Kelly more than he needs him. Trump might be oblivious to this fact.
One might ask for what purpose he hired Kelly if he isn’t willing to listen?
The lash out he gave to the Chief of Staff was taken softly. Will Kelly play it down so easily if it happens again?
He told staff members that no one ever spoke to him that way while serving. He promised that the next time it happens he won’t stand for it.
The tension between Trump and Kelly has been denied by Kelly. He remains tight lipped and is focusing on bringing stability to the White House.
He has kept his circle small and close. Kelly has been keeping a tight hold on what the President sees. Despite working for a while, it seems Trump may be having enough of it.
It is a wait and see game of who explodes, who stays and who goes. Both men are strong headed, but Trump has the advantage as President.
