On John Kelly’s Disturbing Exit Interview With The LA Times
On Sunday, the LA Times published an interview with outgoing chief of staff (and man who probably thought he'd seen it all after serving nearly five decades in the military), John Kelly.
Frankly, I can't decide whether it's notable or not, but it's trending, so I suppose it's worth mentioning on a day when the news flow is likely to be non-existent.
Kelly is characteristically tight-lipped and understated, or at least the quotes the Times chose to publish come across that way. Still, the inter

Calling Trump’s despotic, anti-democratic and law-flauting leanings “stupidity” is being too generous. Sadly, there are no ‘Adults’ left in the room.
I am a conservative and every day I wonder how he became president. He is NOT a conservative. Every day I fear he will do something else that weakens the country.

Pres Obama looks great compared to Trump and I was not a fan of Pres Obama’s. At least he was deserving of the office. I honestly do not believe Trump is.

The largest political party in the 2016 cycle were the 100 million who did NOT vote.
The real problem is integrity / trust.
