How soon before Kelly is on the circuit trashing Trump? Are there no good people left in DC?
Has the next establishment connected globalist replacement been named yet?
Sorry to see him go. The Never-Trumpers have been trying to get rid of Kelly ever since he took the job.
Is Kelly a witness of some sort for Mueller?
Nobody lasts very long with Trump
I think he was brought in to do a specific job and he did it.
Now with the Rats controlling the House and the 2020 election coming up, Trump needs someone more political.
Why wait?
Two years is an eternity in that job and at that pace.
Hopefully his replacement will be equally good.
I’m sorry to see him go.
I wish this General well deserved peaceful days ahead.
The average tenure for a White House chief of staff is 18 months.
Kelly will have served 17.
He did a great job. Its almost impossible to keep up but now with the change of house he needs someone with legislative chops. Kelly May have been able to defeat Isis but he couldnt help with Ryan and would not be a match for Pelosi

None of us have ears within the walls of the Oval Office, but this news disappoints.
Really like John Kelly.
And with this statement, let the trashing of a good and faithful servant of the constitution and country begin.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is, at times, equally matched by Trump Adoration Syndrome.
Lieutenant General John F. Kelly has done more in the service of this Republic than most could ever dream about.
It is shameful how so many so called conservatives jump to diminish him and his service so quickly.
Anyone he can promote from within?
Any ideas on new folks? How about Bannon? I just threw it out for discussion...I do think Bannon is still involved.
From the NY Times:

“Mr. Ayers, 36, has told Mr. Trump that he would serve on an interim basis through the spring, when his family will return to Georgia, according to people familiar with the discussions. But Mr. Trump, who frets about the image of a White House in constant chaos, wants a full-time replacement and is eager for Mr. Ayers to stay for the duration.
If the president ultimately turns to another candidate, potential choices include the Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin; his budget director, Mick Mulvaney; and the United States trade representative, Robert Lighthizer.”
The candidate of those mentioned that jumps out at me is Mick Mulvaney. He’s one seriously sharp dude and handles the press masterfully.
Man, I would so love to see that Scaramucci dude take this job ... for about 48 hours. LOL.
Not unexpected.
