He handled the despicable tweets about him like water off a ducks back. That's the way you do it!

according to Kelly's new rules? I guess his vacation isn't as relaxing as he had hoped...just as being the president and fixing health care weren't as easy as he had expected either. Does he want more cheese with that whine?

I mean, you can't write this stuff! Kelly was supposed to control Trump, and his first act in defiance of Kelly's Twitter review is to attack a Marine? You'd think Trump was doing it on purpose.
