John Kelly is not a Trump fan

[IGotWorms 4,057]

CNN — 

John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, offered his harshest criticism yet of the former president in an exclusive statement to CNN.

Kelly set the record straight with on-the-record confirmation of a number of damning stories about statements Trump made behind closed doors attacking US service members and veterans, listing a number of objectionable comments Kelly witnessed Trump make firsthand.

“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.

“A person who is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women,” Kelly continued. “A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason – in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law. 

“There is nothing more that can be said,” Kelly concluded. “God help us.”

Is anything he said wrong?

You make a lot of assumptions.  You should stop that.  You're wrong every single time.

Red blazers, Blue blazers, can’t trust any of them. Don’t be fooled.  We need to close it down, and start over, soon this country no matter who’s the president won’t be free.  

I’ve always found it interesting that a country so blessed isn’t name in the end times in God’s Word, it doesn’t exists in the end times.  

Amen.

You think there was a possibility the Bible could have mentioned the United States, when the Bible was written at a time they didn't even know this half of the world existed?

Its nice seeing the lefties savaging Kelly on X

[Hardcore troubadour 14,922]

Not hard to figure out what’s going on here, having all of these former military guys speaking out now, years later. It’s not going to wipe away the disaster in Afghanistan and Biden disrespecting the families of the dead. Those are visuals and devastating. 

[thegeneral 2,889]

In the statement, Kelly is confirming, on the record, a number of details in a 2020 story in The Atlantic by editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, including Trump turning to Kelly on Memorial Day 2017, as they stood among those killed in Afghanistan and Iraq in Section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery, and saying, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”

Yeeesssh

Great question, thank you for asking it.  Always remember the Bible is God’s Word, one should never put God in a box, God knows everything.  

Colossians 1:16.  He is the first-born Son , superior to all created things. For through him God created Everything in Heaven and on Earth, and on Earth, the seen and the unseen things, including spiritual powers, lords, rulers, and authorities.  God created the Whole Universe Through Him and For Him.  Indeed. God knows.  

Psalm 82:8. Rise up, O God, Judge the Earth, for All Nations are your inheritance.  Indeed.  God knows.  

There are others nations that still exists today, that are in the Bible, in the end times America is nothing.  Sorry.  

God bless.

There are times that Trump would help himself by like 10 thousand percent total by just occasionally shutting up. 

85 percent of the time, Trump is legitimately being openly persecuted and the activist MSM and most of Big Social Media are just trying to spin anything possible to use him as a deflection point for Team Blue's horrific public policies, corruption and scandals. 

But about 15 percent of the time, Trump is just a total imbecile. Do I believe 2020 POTUS was a "free and fair" election? No, I don't. I believe both sides cheated as much as they could. But the DNC and Team Blue simply had more horses in that race to do it. Instead of just shutting up, gathering his assets and making a clean run at 2024 ( then go on a revenge tour later during his 2nd term, albeit with that gap), he had to make everything harder than it had to be. 

Biden's a mess. Biden has said and done things that will have a devastating negative impact on the US military for generations to come. However it's a separate issue from Trump being totally exhausting. 

Look at Sean Spicer and Huckabee Sanders, Trump's insanity probably shaved off decades off their lifespan in turmoil and stress. 

This is like a new NFL GM who walks onto a team with huge problems. You already have big problems, don't take each situation and make it worse. Your job, at minimum, is to not cause a crash and burn for stuff that is already on the edge. If nearly the entire activist MSM is gunning for you, don't give them any ammo to use against you. 

All Trump had to do in 2016 was say nothing. Say literally zero. Let Kellyanne Conway run the country. Then when he got reelected, then say whatever he wants. Go for broke then. But Trump can't do that. He just can't stop himself from always trying to be the total center of attention at all times.

How anyone can be so slavishly devoted to Trump after Kelly confirmed what we all knew was true to begin with.

Trump dodged the draft.  He hates our military.  He actually has contempt for our military just like he has contempt for his slavish fans.

All you who think Trump cares an iota about what happens to you or your family will feel really foolish when Trump is thankfully gone from the spotlight.  Trump cares about Trump, nothing else.

But keep carrying the water for this dumb, silver spoon, woman abusing rich guy.  Essentially everyone who's worked for him tells us what a horrible person he is.

Hell Trump trashed John McCain left and right.  You're ok with that I assume?

I could give examples and point out that Bidens incompetence is much more dangerous than Trumps alleged comments. But what’s the point? They are both shitty. But they have both had a crack at running this country.  Trump had it humming along and Biden has focked up everything he touched. So keep on with your attempt to play it as good guy vs bad guy like it’s some comic book movie. I’ll judge them on their results.

Inflation exploded because of Trump.  Job losses exploded because of Trump.  NATO was fractured under Trump.  The debt exploded under Trump.

Your definition of focking things up is certainly different than mine.

How do you feel about just about everyone who worked directly for Trump telling the world what an imbecile he is?  I assume you think they're all lying because only Trump tells the truth?

And how did Trump react when the Fed raised rates the few paltry times they did under him?  Rate increases that could have tamped down the inflation we all suffered under.

He cried and cried and cried about the impact to the stock market.

But yea, Trump had the country on a GREAT tract.  He sure did.

Well Mike, as long as we are talking about warnings from the military, how about this one: 

“Joe Biden has been wrong about nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the last 40 years” Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense / Obama - Biden.  I guess we can disregard that? OMB.
