Is Trump's Chief of Staff heading for the door after just one month? General Kelly is 'fed-up with hot-headed boss' tantrums and says he has never been spoken to so badly in entire career'.
General John Kelly, the level-headed war veteran hired to bring order to Trump's unruly White House in July, may be already planning his exit strategy.
According to The New York Times, Kelly has been both shocked and appalled by his new boss's style of management and claims to have never been spoken to so badly in his entire 35 year career.
Aides have begun guessing not if he will leave but when, with some saying it could be as soon as next month.
According to those who spoke anonymously, Kelly was particularly outraged by an outburst by the president after a rally in Arizona last month.
Aides had tried to advise the president afterwards that he ought to focus less on politics and more on day-to-day governing, an attempt the president did not take kindly to.
Kelly bore the brunt of his rage, they said. Afterwards, he reportedly told them he would not tolerate being spoken to with such vitriol again.
Unlike the long-list of younger aides who have been unceremoniously fired and swapped out by Trump since his inauguration, Kelly, a four-star Marine general with a stern, no-nonsense approach to public service, is in no need of career enhancement.

I call BS.
It’s what they want, not reality.
If this is true, then it sounds like General Kelly needs to man up and grow a pair. If you can’t take getting yelled at by the boss, how exactly did you get to that rank in the Marine Corps?
Are these people under Trump all crazy? Two year olds? Do they have any concept of governing the USA as a priority? Why would they hamper the president’s political outreach? Isn’t it their job to run things for him?
If he’s never had an ass chewing in 35 years in the Marines, he was perfect, which I doubt. Or he served in a PC Corps. Which I don’t doubt.
Wasn’t it Kelly’s job to stop the leaks? He should be out tomorrow all day screaming from the top of his lungs what a lying piece of crap the New York Times is. Or else it means he’s become part of the swamp.
The only thing that would make it even MORE comical is if Kelly steps down ... and his replacement is Steve Bannon. LMAO.
NYT what do you expect ?
Would Not Surprise me if it’s true.
General Kelly and Donald Trump are two very strong personalities. Neither are accustom to being told what to do. President Trump is Queens and General Kelly is polish from the Pentagon. Those two could spark.
That being said...
Who’s the sources behind this?
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets like the Daily Mail that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
We should find and post reasonably reliable sources that if this is untrue, or a half-truth, have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. .
Now we get anonymous sources telling us that Trump uncontrollably lashes out at Kelly.
Anonymous sources are Fake News.
And we're supposed to take this seriously?
I’m gonna agree with you. Key phrase: Kelly told aides . . .
BS. If Marine General Kelly (or any true leadership figure from 2Lt on up in any service) had a problem with the boss, (the CIC, for Pete’s sake!) he wouldn’t badmouth the boss to his staff. He’d take it up with the boss.
If this were true for a chief of staff? He should be fired. A mortal act of disloyalty.
Not to mention, if you’ve been in uniform for six months, let alone 35 years, you’ve been talked to quite unkindly from time to time. (I did 20 and have been shredded many times.)
But he has respect for Generals! I doubt this story!
I would like to see Kelly running ICE raids across the USA
Hard to believe that Kelly is such a loose-lipped, fragile snowflake.
I don’t think they spoke nicely to him at Paris Island
I hope the Lord splits him on the way out.
The jackass is anti-Israel. I could care if he goes, along with his other crap.
