These Generals were all confirmed during Obama’s years. They are all PC MC politician punks who never led a platoon or company in combat.
God Bless Donald Trump, who puts America & the Americans first.
Aw man! Bet you just triggered a whole raft of people with that one.
Kelly is anything but a PC political hack. The man has led Marines in combat. He’s a Mattis protégé. Mattis, Kelly, and Dunford are highly respected among enlisted Marines because they aren’t PC hacks. Do some research before you start bashing a good Marine.
Ha ha!! Why post this cr@p from The Shrill?
One of the many problems created by the internet is the pressure for “news” outlets to create more and more content, not just daily, but practically by the hour. When they don’t have facts, they report rumors. When they don’t have facts or rumors, they simply make them up.
FAKE NEWS...
More desperation from the Fake Stream News to ignore the IG report.
They will try to focus on anything but he IG report
And the week before Melania was a prisoner in the White House wanting divorce.
Too much fighting back on kids living in the best living conditions any of them have ever seen before(because that’s why they came here), so let’s throw this at the wall and see if it sticks until the IG stuff is behind us
More fake news.

“...then they can create their narrative. Watch for it.”
So what if they do. The fake news is squandering what’s left of its credibility by continuing to run stories that are immediately proven fake.
Nobody I know reads their stuff or watches their shows anymore. The only reason I see fake news is because people keep posting it here on FR for some reason. And Hannity for some reason always wants to show what the fake news is reporting - so I have to see it there too.
Somebody tried to explain it to me once - “know thy enemy” or something.
I wish everyone would just ignore the fake news - but there seems to be some kind of perverse fascination.
As soon as I see its fake I stop reading - sometimes I scan through the comments to make sure everyone knows how fake it is.
The trouble is there are plenty of concern trolls on FR that know how to play on FReepers fears of a deep state conspiracy and some FReepers actually believe the fake news if it seems to supports the deep state conspiracy narrative.
I hate to see well meaning FReepers get fooled like this.
For example, in the case of this fake news story about Kelly and Trump being at odds - it’s obvious to most that this kind of story is intended to hurt Trump by making it look like he can’t control his cabinet, that they don’t support his agenda, in short, that he’s failing.
But the concern trolls know that if they can subtly cast Kelly as part of a deep state coup - some Trump supporters will be turned against Kelly in defense of Trump - and be fooled into believing the fake news story. I see it happening all the time.
Don’t be fooled. Trump is doing a fine job. He’s got a strong team. They get along fine. He is not being ‘handled’ by deep state handlers. The deep state was dealt a crippling blow the day Trump won the Presidency. Their hopes of continuing their coverups and power abuses rested entirely on getting Hillary Clinton elected.
When that failed, the deep state went to plan B (impeachment and removal over the fabricated RussiaGate ‘scandal’). Plan B was a desperately on move and was another abysmal failure for the deep state, despite the never ending Mueller investigation - they have utterly failed to remove Trump, who is now favored to easily win reelection.
Trump has the upper hand - yes, there is a deep state and it hates Trump - but with Trump as POTUS instead of Clinton, the deep state has had to go into hiding - they are nowhere near as formidable as the concern trolls would have you believe.
Who says this is a leak? Why on earth would you believe what these people have to say when this story is recycled from a couple of months ago and Kelly has already denied it?
The very idea a COS to the president can TELL the POTUS what to do, especially a man like DJT is absurd. This piece was amateurishly written and completely fabricated.
Whatever.
I trust Trump more than Kelly. Trump didn’t get to his station by being a wallflower.
Anyone who calls General Kelly a "politician punk" never served with the man. Everyone from the line grunts to other officers respects the hell out of him. He has always spoken his mind.
To your point, when he was CG of Southern Command, he made a bunch of public statements slamming how porous our border was, that were not appreciated at all at the White House. He also spoke out against women in combat despite Obama's push in favor of it, and against plans to close Gitmo.
You know nothing.
Look at what is leaking, though. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is purposely leaked as other “rumors”. Keeps the media focused on nonsense and breathlessly prattling on about stuff no one finds important. Important goings on are not leaked...case in point the lead up to NK summit.
Is there such a position? If not, there should be. It would be a person in charge of a ready response to fake news put out there to gin up the bad guys' army of hate.
Agreed. The fake news obsessions are ruining FR. BTTT.
John Kelly is a DemoRat, so I have no clue how he lasted so long.
Neither did Kelly.
Media keeps trying to drive a wedge between Kelly and PRESIDENT TRUMP. They should try looking for real news!
