John Kelly Confirms He Was Lying All Along: The White House Is in Chaos
Rolling Stone ^ | DECEMBER 30, 2018 1:10PM ET | Peter Wade

It will come as no surprise that the White House is in chaos, but what is shocking is that this fact is being confirmed by President Donald Trump’s outgoing Chief of Staff John Kelly.

In an exit interview with the Los Angeles Times, Kelly admits that the White House is not quite the “well-oiled machine” that Trump loves to brag about. Two specific instances he cited as chaotic were the implementation of the travel ban and the “zero-tolerance” family separation policy at the Mexican border.

Even if true, why is chaos bad?

Trump is getting his agenda passed. He is keeping his campaign promises. Maybe chaos is good.

hardly a new story at the WH. The JFK White House was disorder personified and it remained sort of that way up to Nov ‘63. Kennedy took steps to curb the loose cannon activities of his staffers after the bay of Pigs. Now there was a balls up.

LOL Rolling Stone.

Weekly World News has more credibility.

And it actually enjoyable to read.

Can’t wait until we hear from Mother Jones.

"...the White House is not quite the “well-oiled machine” that Trump loves to brag about."

And the Obama White House was?

The Punk slept in until noon every day, and only attended one out of ten presidential briefings. When he wasn't on the golf course, he was usually holed up in his jammies smoking dope and watching ESPN.

Kelly can FOAD.

Trying to carry out the President's orders in the face of opposition is normal, not chaos. No President has ever face such hostility as Trump has by the press. Look at how this article brings up “family separation”, while ignoring the history of the Flores Consent Decree. Its another example of the propoganda the media puts out.

Another swamp rat emerges, confirming again that Trump’s biggest flaw is his complete inability to hire and fire the right people. He could find better managers by pulling them at random off the street.

Things will get chaotic when you have insubordinate aholes with their own agenda.

‘Separation of families’, ‘travel ban’...This is unbelievable. It’s like they watch CNN or MSLSD to figure out how they should feel on issues.

Here’s the original biased report of the phone interview with very few actual quotes from Kelly. It’s mostly editorializing and quotes from other people, like Dianne Feinstein.

...

I think it’s proof that the LATimes and Rolling Stone are putting out fake news as usual.

I would imagine that running the Federal Government from the WH would appear to be pretty chaotic on any given day... lots going on in the US and in the world at any given moment.

I would say that Trump's handling it all as well as I could hope.. even if some of his hires can't take the heat of running the country while being shot at by the MSM, the left, the RINO's and all the other enemies of America.

It isn't for sissies.
