John Kelly is really doing a bang-up job at restoring order and sanity to the White House.

He can't even get the Shitgibbon to stop tweeting like a maniac, how is he going to get him to stop threatening North Korea? What a total cluster-fuck!

Trump has no respect for anybody, and refuses to listen to reason. Unless they get rid of him, they will never be able to control him. It baffles me why these people are so loyal to this idiot.

to escalate threats to NK. This is a made up crisis for an administration in crisis. It provides distraction from investigation and stokes fears of people so they will not want to get rid of him in war time.

He hasn't even pulled a full "Scaramucci" yet.

A measurement of time, approximately 11 days.

We're supposed to be impressed, in awe, dazzled. But, imo, he's just another schmuck in Trump's eyes.
