Kelly is retired from the Marine Corps. The Chief of Staff position is a not a military post, so why would he include his service rank, "General"? Trump is obsessed with collecting Generals, and this yweet came from his account, not Kellys. Trump lied.

I just wonder if they bothered to tell jerk Kelly that they had written and released it in kelly's name, before it went public.

He would have not used his title General. If he did refer to his service rank, it would have been as General (USMC, Ret.). He would use his current title as White House Chief of Staff.

Reporters of course are misreporting this statement by saying Kelly said it. No, Trump's tweet said it.

John Kelly is a proven liar.

John Kelly never apologized for his lie.

They are both empty barrels.

I think Bob Woodward is telling the truth.

I hope he has a lot of recordings.

He has already released an 11 minute recording.

Someone else wrote that. It actually sounds like Sarah Sanders and Raj Shah wrote it together. Complete bullshit.
