Trump told advisers Kelly's job is '100% safe': report

Source: The Hill




BY MAX GREENWOOD - 03/16/18 10:38 AM EDT

President Trump has reportedly told advisers that White House chief of staff John Kelly's job is "100 percent safe," amid fears that the retired Marine general could be the latest to leave the administration amid a series of high-profile firings and resignations.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Trump and Kelly met Thursday, where they patched up a rift that emerged earlier this week when the president abruptly fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in a tweet.

Kelly was reportedly taken aback by Trump's treatment of Tillerson, and aides worried that he would push the issue with the president, the Journal reported.

Staff secretary Rob Porter, communications director Hope Hicks and John McEntee, Trump's personal assistant, are among the White House staffers who have left the administration in the last six weeks alone.

If Trump says he is 100 per cent safe, that means he is "gone"

I remember being on an airplane flying somewhere when who was it.. Elway? brought the Broncos? back against the Browns in the ....Super Bowl?? I think I remember it being the Browns. or maybe I was just flying over Cleveland? Foggy brain....Something like that. I forget. But the pilots actually pumped the radio broadcast into the plane somehow..

He obviously lacks integrity of any sort.

The extent to which this petulant child serving against the will of the American people as "President" is shielded from what it he is, the longer it will take to impeach him and throw his ass in jail.

Part of me almost hopes the murderous dictator racist, putin, does fuck with our nuclear plants so the people here can watch trump do nothing about it

it might take that extreme for them to get the message...



I have now thought about the above, nope. NOTHING will change their minds.
