Kelly Dilemma
Trump hired Kelly to control his staff at the White House. He is hoping that Kelly’s military expertise will be the General’s way of discipline. It is all about respect and toughness, qualities Kelly is known for. He also believes that some may even fear Kelly, helping his purpose.
The main problem Kelly will face may come from Trump himself. It is all about what Trump wants Kelly to do. This doesn’t involve disciplining Trump, just his officials.
It will take more than Kelly to get things on track. This is due mainly to the differences among the staff. It is like having warring factions in the same building. Any house that fights inwardly won’t succeed. It will only be a matter time before it all blows up.
Trump can be very impulsive, especially when it comes to having his way. He has proven this time and again. Twitter has been his greatest tool for being impulsive and acting like a bully.
Whatever the President had in mind when he hired his current staff backfired. The intent was a set of individuals he could control and manipulate. That however has backfired and now his house is full of chaos.
Apparently there is no special model for those who take the position of Chief of Staff. It is more based on the type of person the President is at the time. Which seems to be the very case, since Trump’s reason for hiring Kelly is for his own cause.
The General is there to turn the White House staff into a well functioning group? Can he bring a turnaround to the situation? If he can, it is worth seeing and noting. Noting more so, his strategy and it’s success.
