Now don't get me wrong. Kelly is not a pure as the driven snow hero here. But I think HE thinks that he needs to be there to try and prevent a war. Trump is nuts. He knows it. But someone has to stay between Trump and the guy with The Football.

Why do people defend these Trump minions just because they were generals? It has become obvious to me that we've had a number of morally bankrupt generals lately.

He also looks like he's enduring it.

He appears to be pained. Now is he a complete ass and has other reasons for sticking around, or is he trying to babysit the horrible child. Whatever it is, he is not enjoying the ride.

and therefore, don't care if he looks, well uncomfortable. Gen. Kelly is one of them.

I feel the same way. I want to believe he's there as a deterrent, but he gladly made his choice early on.

Very bad at DHS, and I don't trust him at all. Nor have I seen anything positive with Trump since he's been there.

agreement with Trump(R)'s words, and noncommittal attention for the rest of it. I do not see shame or discomfort there in any way.

You can tell by the look in his face the PRECISE moment Trump went off script.
