Trump Tweets concerning John Kelly
Twitter ^ | Feb 13, 2020 | President Trump

Posted on 02/13/2020 9:03:33 AM PST by McGruff

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

When I terminated John Kelly, which I couldn’t do fast enough, he knew full well that he was way over his head. Being Chief of Staff just wasn’t for him. He came in with a bang, went out with a whimper, but like so many X’s, he misses the action & just can’t keep his mouth shut,.

...which he actually has a military and legal obligation to do. His incredible wife, Karen, who I have a lot of respect for, once pulled me aside & said strongly that “John respects you greatly. When we are no longer here, he will only speak well of you.” Wrong! 11:04 AM · Feb 13, 2020

I hope so. Just not sure how non-Freepers see it.

By the way, you should check out the other thread on EVs. Lots of comments on that one. :-)

Dear Flip,

Trump doesn’t need your advice.

The president does indeed love to gossip and stir the pot.
He very quickly becomes personal. This is a risk anybody takes when they decide to work for or with him. Not everybody would knowingly choose to do so.

Meanwhile, if John Kelly does not want to be slammed on Twitter by the president, the best thing to do would be to stop making negative public remarks about the president.
We all know that he’s going to compulsively Clap Back.
This quality usually works for the benefit of the GOP, but not always.

Could be right IF President Trump is cast as Duke of Wellington.

“just can’t keep his mouth shut,.”

Good advise to take.

This crap is so beneath the Office of the President.

And, he is almost inviting her to speak up for her husband and slam Trump, which is probably happening as we speak.

I'll bet she says this never happened.

Never could figure out the Kelly thing. He always looked like he hated Trump's guts.

“Twitter could be his Waterloo.”

I can’t believe anyone would say that. Twitter has been Trump's WMD against the democrat controlled mainstream media.

I couldn’t agree with you more. What in the hell is wrong with this guy! Can’t Javanka have a good heart-to-heart with him. Love POTUS DJT, but seriously, he sounds like a damn kid bully, not an adult. Sure, he’s our kid bully, but that doesn’t make it acceptable. I know a number of us who totally support the President and what he’s doing for the country, but his childish mouth is going to damage his candidacy. (Flame away.)

Could not agree more. While he is correct to use Twitter to get his side of the story out against the media narrative, he usually oversteps and risks being painted as a bully.

If I were a Democrat, I would use this aspect, not his racism/sexism/illegalities etc. as the wedge issue. Not many of his supporters buy those arguments, but the vast majority of his supporters will buy the personal insult argument.

Yes, but unfortunately Trump just brought back Kelly’s right-hand woman Kristen Nielsen (sp?) on some sort of infrastructure board. She did as much as Kelly wanted, which was all she could, to undermine Trump’s whole anti-illegal immigration agenda.

It’s hard not to notice that Trump’s current political director Brian Jack, yes, worked on the campaigns for Romney and Fiorina, but his longest work experience was as an analyst for AIPAC. Kushner’s good buddy for sure, but MAGA and working in Trump’s best interest?

POTUS may be 100% right, but I really wish he would not do this.

Because for some reason, the Marine corps has produced a crop of General officers who are 100% backstabbing treasonous deep state clones unfit to shine the shoes of a PFC Rifleman.

Kelly, Mattis, Dunford, Allen, Amos, Paxton.

All a bunch of globalist pussies.

The President is responding, directly, through US, to an interview the two-faced DACA queen did.
