John Kelly To Exit Trump Administration As Soon As This Week
Remember how John Kelly wasn't going to leave the White House?
John has been conspicuously absent lately amid all manner of controversy surrounding the administration's various policy initiatives, from border control to the North Korea detente.
But if you think back to April 8, Trump was furious at a Washington Post article that suggested Kelly was (again) on the verge of resigning in the face of, well, in the face of a boss who steadfastly refuses to listen to reason on anything and is more i
Re: “…the retired four-star Marine Corps general who arrived with a reputation for integrity and a mandate to bring order to a chaotic West Wing.” Clearly, there’s no room for integrity in the West Wing.
Also, ‘Mad Dog Maddox’ seems to be the only ‘Adult’ left in the room, and he’s staying ‘hunkered down.
The wishful-thinking phrase ‘Saner heads will (eventually) prevail’ seems to now be even more unlikely than ever. Putin will be happy though.
Destructo:
Self-preservation is the only thing that matters.
No rules. No laws. No boundaries.
This is how a psychopath operates.
Everybody else is disposable.
Like toilet wipes.
Literally.
That includes women and children of his nuclear family.
Believe it.
If it’s him vs them, they go.
Every single human around Destructo has the same value. This includes women, men, boys, girls, and children of any age. When people spoke of Hope Hicks as being special, they err in their understanding as to what made her special. It had nothing to do with Hope Hicks’ longevity with him. It had everything to do with how Hope Hicks made Destructo “feel.” Feelings for him a momentary. As is how long you can trust him. He felt no loyalty, no obligation, no lasting love for Hope. His feelings or connection to her was a mile long and an 1/32″ deep. The moment she no longer made him “feel” as he did, she too was lint. We’ve all seen the lint list that Destructo has left behind at the White House gates.
And there goes John Kelly. And if not this very moment, soon. He’s lasted longer than expected and beyond his shelf life. John Kelly, General or not, is another piece of lint as far as Destructo is concerned. McMaster and Mad Dog (his days numbered), just another color of lint. Now, John Kelly did not prove himself to be a McMaster or a Mad Dog, these are real men who have not shown themselves to be liars, racists, misogynists or UnAmerican. John Kelly proved that you can make it all the way to the rank of General and not be outed as any of those unwholesome things until the bright lights of the press are turned on for all to see. And we have seen it all. And all of what we have seen under the light are the reasons Kelly got this far and lasted this long.
My Psychiatrist friend tells me, “the characteristics of narcissistic and psychopathic personality disorders are overlapping.” I used to think of The Donald as ‘merely’ overly and excessively narcissistic; now I’ve come to realize he’s more psychopathic than anything else.
I would say he is a prime specimen of a narcissistic psychopathic dotard prick.
narcissist: a person who is overly self-involved, and often vain and selfish, deriving erotic gratification from admiration of his or her own physical or mental attributes.
psychopathic: a mental disorder in which an individual manifests amoral and antisocial behavior, lack of ability to love or establish meaningful personal relationships, extreme egocentricity, failure to learn from experience, etc.
dotard: a person, especially an old person, exhibiting a decline in mental faculties; a weak-minded or foolish old person.
prick: an obnoxious or contemptible person.
