John Kelly Has To Help Gullible Trump Sort Facts From Fiction

"Confronted with a West Wing that treated policymaking as a free-for-all, President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, is instituting a system used by previous administrations to limit internal competition — and to make himself the last word on the material that crosses the president’s desk.

It’s a quiet effort to make Trump conform to White House decision-making norms he’s flouted without making him feel shackled or out of the loop. In a conference call last week, Kelly initiated a new policymaking process in which just he and one other aide — White House staff secretary Rob Porter, a little-known but highly regarded Rhodes scholar who overlapped with Jared Kushner as an undergraduate at Harvard — will review all documents that cross the Resolute desk.”*

Trump could literally not manage a McDonald's. I wouldn't trust a cheeseburger to him.

Here's a joke: Trump fans
Here's a big joke: Trump as president
Here's the biggest joke of them all: the fact that some people think Trump is a good president and think that he's a really really smart person

[ConnorArchibald]

Trump is some kind of strange amalgamation of Nixon and Reagan just with a tenth of the intellect.

[twosheds]

Trump tried reading the US Constitution then wanted to know if there was a picture book edition.

Fictional President living in a factual world

How can this honorable General Kelly sit and babysit this 71 year old manchild? Did he raise himself up to such a high standard just to throw it all away on this wasted human being trump? A private in the Marine Corps has more honor and respect than trump will ever have till the day he dies.

The rest of the world have mature adults running their country but the US has a child in the office throwing tantrums must be very embarrassing for the whole world to see this.

The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance.

"I'm smart, I'm really smart", he said. He 'misspoke', he meant he was dumb, really dumb.

[mooshe]

Four pages? He can't read through four bloody pages?! I didn't think it was possible to think any less of him. Wow.

[dolam]

I do not think Trump will fire John Kelly. I think that John Kelly will eventually quit due to frustration.

[bluntrapture]

Kelly had to put parental controls on the President's TV.

[montefoley]

Blows up the theory that a businessperson is best equipped to run the government.

[janetroberts]

Kelly will likely quit in disgust before being fired.
