John Kelly is a former United States Marine Corps general who has had multiple deployments in the battlefields of Iraq. However, he may have just embarked on his toughest assignment yet: controlling the Twitter habits and impulsive decision-making of a 71-year-old man.
Formerly the secretary of Homeland Security, last week Kelly was appointed as President Donald Trump's new chief of staff, replacing Reince Priebus. But any notion that this might be a comfortable posting for a man more familiar with war zones than war rooms was quickly dispelled, according to Leon Panetta, a chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and a friend of Kelly’s who has spoken with him this week.
“He knows the problems. He knows how difficult it’s going to be,” Panetta told The Washington Post Friday. “It’s like being dropped into the middle of a combat zone.”
Perhaps the most troubling part of this article is how it describes that way in which Trump's advisers keep him interested in daily briefings.
According to the Post, one major problem Kelly has identified as being in need of fixing is the way Trump makes decisions on important issues. Kelly has already assumed control of managing the paperwork and advice that reaches Trump’s desk.
The way Trump consumes advice and intelligence is a stark departure from previous incumbents of the Oval Office. Hampered by the president’s notoriously short attention span, National Security Council officials have resorted to tactics such as inserting Trump’s name into as many paragraphs as possible because reading his own name is one way to maintain his interest.
That's right this vastly unqualified piece of human excrement is such a megalomaniac that the only way to hold his interest in a topic is to insert his name as many times as possible within the documents.
That is fucking pathetic!
At 71 this man has to be directed in how to use his social media account, has spokespeople constantly at the ready to walk back or cover up for stupid things he says to the media, and can only comprehend documents to protect our national security if they contain his name in every other paragraph.
If you voted for this pathetic excuse for a president you should voluntarily remove your name from your local voter rolls as soon as possible, as you are unfit to participate in our democracy.
