White House chief of staff John Kelly says in a new interview that President Trump is "somewhat embarrassed" by the investigation into Russia's attempts to meddle in the 2016 election.

Kelly told NPR that the subject tends to come up in Trump's conversations with foreign leaders, saying while the long-running investigation "may not be a cloud" hanging over the presidency, "the president is, you know, somewhat embarrassed, frankly."

"When world leaders come in, it's kind of like you know Bibi Netanyahu is here and he who's under investigation himself and it's like, you know, you walk in and you know the first couple of minutes of every conversation might revolve around that kind of thing," said Kelly, referring to the Israeli prime minister under investigation for bribery.

During the interview airing on Thursday's "Morning Edition," Kelly also cast doubt on what special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian election meddling could turn up.

Aww, Donny! You shouldn't be embarrassed over this, you should be fucking INCARCERATED over this!

1. I don't think so because

Republicans cannot be embarrassed.

[Scarsdale]

6. Exactly.

So, paying off women does not bother him, just anything concerning the tainted "election"? He is not a legitimate president, he is not qualified. What a joke Putin has played on this country. We have a damned IMBECILE in the WH, and the entire world knows how incompetant he is. He will be a stain on the gop for many, many years to come. THIS is their idea of a president!!! Kelly must desperately need this lousy job of babysitting the moron in the WH. He has sacrificed his reputation for $$$$ just like the rest of them.

[enough]

17. You said it. NT

[BumRushDaShow]

2. Swamp things of a slime, ooze together every time.

[True Blue American]

3. Well

Schucky Darn and slop the chickens as Garfield said down on the farm.

Kelly is an embrassment to not only many of us, but to the Military he served in for allowing that twit in the WHITEHOUSE get away with saying,” McCain does not matter,he is dying.”

Kelly has lowered himself into a slime that will never wash away.

[Corgigal]

4. No,

he doesn't suffer from embarrassment. Next..

[True Blue American]

5. Trump does not know the meaning

Of embarrassment. He is too ignorant and narcisstic.

[NewJeffCT]

28. agreed

He has no shame and I think the only thing that would embarrass him is if his true financial situation came out and he was actually worth very little.

[flibbitygiblets]

43. That, and if Daniels/Avenatti have footage of his teeny weenie on that DVD

The only things I can imagine that would actually embarrass that slimeball.

[Ligyron]

7. I'm pretty sure he suffers from fear more than anything else.

Cohen's bust must really scare him - as it should.

[True Blue American]

35. Cues,I have no doubt Trump is scared

Quite frankly I think a few Republicans in Congress are,too. Nunes, Ryan and Mitch come to mind.

Nunes, because he was on the Transition team. Reminds me of a 🐛 on a hook.

[Achilleaze]

8. Dirty Donny* should have thought of that before BETRAYING America

* aka Comrade Casino, republican Draft-dodger-in-Chief

[democratisphere]

9. When drumpf has no conscience, he can not be embarrassed.

Most things drumpf does are "of", "by" and "for" Russia.

[barbtries]

10. embarrassed my ass he's scared shitless.

he knows the ax is falling and can't imagine what will happen because he's never had to answer for any of his wrongdoings throughout his life.

[True Blue American]

36. Great post!

[duforsure]

11. Same for many of us,

Rump's a embarrassment from committing treason against this country from conspiring with putin against his own country, while the kgop do nothing. They've sold us out to putin.

[JDC]

12. Ttump doesn't know what embarrassment is. He is incapable.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Nice that he has a touchstone with Bibi

I'm ok, you're ok! Let's cut a dirty little deal, shall we?

[GoCubsGo]

14. Translation: He's scared shitless over it.

As he should be.

[Americanno]

15. Not committing crimes is the antidote against being "embarrassed"

Trump and his associates are being investigated because they colluded with Russia (and some committed related crimes such as bank fraud and hacking).

[bullwinkle428]

16. America is embarrassed by YOU, asshole!!

[get the red out]

18. No

You get somewhat embarrassed over a speeding ticket. You shit your pants over potential federal time.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. You're going to jail, Dickhead Dotard.

[NCjack]

20. #45 needs to come clean and begin his prison time. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Not yet embarrassed enough to resign. . . . nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

22. Not convinced tRump is capable of any form of emotion.

No embarrassment, fear or shame for psychopaths and narcissists.

If he feels even 1/2 second of fear, it's followed by a continuous hour of rage, resentment and revenge. This is why so many of us worry about what's going to be in the news next every day he's in office.

...... .........

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Come now: hatred, envy, jealousy, vengefulness, bigotry, narcissism, self-aggrandizement ... . . .nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

27. You're right! Should have said POSITIVE emotion, LOL.

He has all the ones I used to get my little ass spanked for as a kid (or, later as a teen - write out my wrong-doing 100 times, or get the car keys denied for a month). Why can't we do that to tRump?

.........

[Zoonart]

29. He is not capable of embarrassment what his is, is affronted.

This. manifests as- "How dare you call me out for this thing that would embarrass anyone with a conscience?".
Narcissistic sociopaths have no conscience and feel no shame. So it is effrontery that will only lead to anger and the sociopath's favorite- retribution. That is what scares me when I hear talk about "embarrassment".

[KY_EnviroGuy]

30. Yes, thanks for that insight. Very much like an animal reaction. n/t

........

[Zoonart]

34. Exactly.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. Noteworthy distinction. . . . nt

[True Blue American]

39. Yes, but

We should not excuse the traitors that are backing Trump. They are just as bad.

No character,no morals, certainly no form of Christianity.

[Ohiogal]

23. Boo Fucking Hoo

They should all be in jail because they're TRAITORS!

And tell Trumpy that WE THE PEOPLE are embarrassed to have him as our President!

[Botany]

25. No Donny we are embarrassed and sickened by you.

You tell lies about a great deal that should have kept Iran from ever
making a nuclear weapon.

You made fun of a POW and a man with a genetic disease.

You have now given us what could be very soon $5.00 gallon gasoline.

You meet with Russian agents in the oval office and tell them top secret information.

You fat shamed a Miss. Universe, had her work out in front of old men, and then
she had to let you kiss her.

You are mobbed up and your lawyer takes bribes.

You stop try to stop science about climate change.

And you owned by Vlad Putin because of the billions of $s you owe him and Russia
and that he has a tape of you probably playing with yourself as two prostitutes
urinate on each other in a "golden showers show."

Donny you are not the least bit embarrassed but scared out of your mind at what is gonna happen
to you after it is shown that you stole the Presidency with the help of Russia.

[rzemanfl]

26. I am embarassed by Catastrophuck, Kelly and all deplorables. n/t

[ochem]

31. He is not embarrassed. He is afraid.

I posted here before. Trump et al are all crooks. They ask themselves. "what might an innocent person say" , or "how would a decent person respond?" Then then act accordingly. This is all to give the appearance of innocence.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

32. Aw-w-w!

You think he's embarrassed now? Wait until he perp walks out of the White House, with Melania cheering in the background.

[WhiteTara]

33. We can only hope that he wears orange to

remind himself the old color of his once upon hair.

Welcome to DU!

[shanny]

38. How Sad. eom

[GeorgeGist]

40. Don the Con knows ...

... Putin has far worse than the pee tape.

[sarcasmo]

41. #Treason

[Izzy Blue]

42. So what else is new?

Today Kelly walked back his "embarrassed" and said what he really meant was "distracted".
