John Kelly Says The White House Is A 'Miserable' Place To Work

John Kelly Says The White House Is A ‘Miserable’ Place To Work: Report
Kelly’s tenure in the Trump administration has been rocky for months.


Several White House aides have considered leaving the Trump administration in the near future, including chief of staff John Kelly, who reportedly called the building a “miserable place to work” last week.

Kelly made the comments to a visiting group of senators and has questioned how long he can work for the president, The New York Times wrote on Sunday. Joe Hagin, one of Kelly’s deputies and the point person arranging the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has also considered departing.

The Times notes people close to Trump have said the president isn’t worried about what’s expected to be an exodus of staffers after the upcoming midterm elections in November, but rather sees the chaotic atmosphere as beneficial. Turnover in the Trump White House is among the highest in modern history as senior officials have been forced to resign, fired amid scandalous behavior or, much less frequently, left voluntarily.

Couldn't tell...

This said, he dug his grave himself.

Anyone who worked for Trump is unlikely to ever get a new job.

Does he think now is the time to jump ship and pretend he was not part of the crew all along?

Totally lost respect for the man when he lied about the Congresswoman and then refused to apologize.
