John Kelly May Be Out at White House After Clashing With Melania Trump

Multiple reports indicate that White House chief of staff John Kelly might soon depart from the Trump Administration. Reports emerged on Monday night that President Donald Trump plans to replace Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen with someone who will execute his policies in better alignment with his agenda. Nielsen is a known political ally of Kelly, and on Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported the president is thinking about who he’ll get to replace Kelly if Nielsen’s forced resignation causes him to leave the administration.

“This is how the president works,” an unnamed White House official told the Journal. “He’s doused a bunch of people in gasoline and he’s waiting for someone to light a match.”

In a separate report, NBC says Kelly has recently clashed with various members of the White House — including, most notably, the First Lady. Hallie Jackson told Andrea Mitchell that Kelly butted heads with National Security Advisor John Bolton not very long ago — in a widely reported incident. Less well know, however, was the fact that Kelly also angered the president by locking horns with First Lady Melania Trump over traveling and staffing issues.

“These continuing tensions now between John Kelly and these folks inside of the White House have put Kelly’s job on the line,” Jackson said. “There is increasing speculation, particularly in the last couple of weeks, that he is going to be departing the White House, and there’s some questions here, who could replace him?”

NBC and the Journal both report that Trump favors Mike Pence‘s chief of staff, Nick Ayers, as a possible replacement for Kelly.

2. All I can say is that it's amazing Gen. Kelly lasted this long

3. Melania seems to be causing an awful lot of trouble.

7. Melanie is a wretched being that sought, and deserves the name she took.

She shoulders and shares much of the well-deserved blame and shame of this ongoing, detestable national mistake.

8. Agreed, but in this case, she's just being used as an excuse. Trumpy has wanted Kelly out for a

while. It can never be Trumpy's fault.

6. Queen Melanie's authority in extravagant travel and staff needs WILL NOT BE QUESTIONED.

I'm sure the real sin committed here is that Melanie's unhappiness became Donny's headache - it meant he had to actually talk to her and listen (through a translator if necessary) to her complaints.

9. Queen Melania is taking heads.

10. This and also the plane seat fight she had. Reminds me of one of those old soaps like Dynasty where

you hated them all and sort of enjoyed seeing the fights going down
Sad part it is the WH not tv
