WASHINGTON -- White House chief of staff John Kelly said Monday that a report that he called President Trump an idiot is "total BS." Kelly, in a statement, said he and Mr. Trump have "an incredibly candid and strong relationship."

He added, "He always knows where I stand and he and I both know this story is total BS."

NBC News reported Monday that Kelly has on multiple occasions criticized Mr. Trump's knowledge on issues like immigration, and has cast himself as a protecting the country from Mr. Trump's impulses. The report added that Mr. Trump was growing tired of Kelly's attitude.

Mr. Trump appeared to react to the report on Twitter Monday evening. He tweeted: "The Fake News is going crazy making up false stories and using only unnamed sources (who don't exist)."

1. And after Kelly gets fired

we'll find out that while he didn't call him an "idiot," he did call him a "f*cking idiot" or a "goddamned idiot" or a "dangerous idiot" or a "complete idiot."

2. Kelly isn't telling the truth: because Trump is an idiot.

10. One of these days, a WH leaker will get this stuff on audio or video recording

11. I can't believe there's anyone at the White House that hasn't called Trump an idiot.

12. Okay, I will say he a fucking idiot........................because he's a idiot.

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

13. Well, we already know Kelly is a liar, so his denials mean nothing.

Oh, and Shitler, the "unnamed sources" do exist, they're your daughter-wife Ivanka and her soon-to-be indicted husband Jared. They've been pissed at Kelly every since he revoked their temporary security clearance and kicked them out of the White House. They're using the media to get you to fire their nemesis, since that is how everyone, including your own pathetic family, communicates with you. But you're too much of an IDIOT, as Kelly said, to realize what is going on.

15. Kelly might not have said it.....

but he probably did, and much more. Anyone within close proximity of Trump for any amount of time knows what an intellectually void person he is.

What we didn't see in the statement was the usual effusive ass-kissing and ego-stroking that Trump thrives on, actually demands, from his close advisors. If you do not grease Trump's ego machine you're in the dog house, and probably on your way out. Kelly didn't, and I think that speaks volumes about the future for Kelly in the Trump administration.

16. That's because he called Trump
