The president pays close attention to TIME magazine covers, and the forthcoming issue trumpets new White House Chief of Staff John Kelly as "TRUMP'S LAST BEST HOPE."

Deputy Editor Michael Duffy writes in "Country First":

"In moments of crisis, American political leaders have often turned to the nation's military brass to guide the country with clear thinking. For the time being, current and former officers are positioned to perform double duty, providing for the common defense abroad and a measure of common sense at home."

"Trump, who defers to virtually no one, shows a clear preference for, and deference to, the military brass. ... Rarely in U.S. history has a clutch of senior brass played such an outsized role in the affairs of state."

3. Gen. Kelly already a massive failure-with T's out of control tweets and cable TV obsession

Trump definitely didn't like all the talk of Kelly reining him in more, so no surprise he is making sure everyone know's who's really boss and it's not Kelly.

4. Oh, yeah

The hardened military man vs. the chickenhawk, draft-dodging, childish, narcissistic walking id.

Good luck with that, Gen. Kelly.

Just to point out the obvious.
