Questions about John Kelly

I am just hearing all this information. So I am trying to get info.

Is Kelly part of the Joint Chiefs of staff is he doing both jobs?

Also am I paranoid but is anyone else nervous about this only because I remember reading that Trump is giving military final say and not overseeing their actions like every other President.

DHS or Dept of Homeland Security. Before that he had recently retired. His last post was commander of US Southern Command (the Americas).

Strange move. There's a lot behind it I'm sure.

Trump likes billionaires and generals, and no billionaire is going to take Trump's crap. Generals, on the other hand, are used to warzones.

That said, I give Kelly only a few months before he realizes he is in an insane asylum working At the White House. He was away at the DHS now he will be there everyday to witness the madness of Donald.
