President Trump has hired a new Chief of Staff. His name is John Kelly, a retired four-star Marine General. He will fill that post shortly after he is sworn in. Kelly is 67 years old and served in the infantry for over 30 years.
Kelly’s experience is military and not legislative. Trump is relying on his tactics and commanding attitude which he developed in the army.
John Kelly
John E. McLaughlin said that “Kelly is an incredibly disciplined person who could bring order to the process if the animals in the zoo behave.” He is also quoted as saying “The danger he has is that Trump will be Trump.” John McLaughlin was an acting Director if the CIA and served 7 Administrations.
“It will be a challenge for someone who has demonstrated great discipline, speaking of General Kelly. To be able to introduce President Trump to some of the discipline he should have in the Oval Office” Said Andrew Card.
Card himself was once a Chief of Staff. He was George W. Bush’s first Chief of Staff. He also said “Great Generals do not allow impulse to dictate how they are going to inspire other people to do their jobs. Generals appreciate the consequence of decisions.”
