Trump called Priebus to complain about Kelly: report
By John Bowden - 02/08/18 10:06 PM EST

President Trump reportedly called former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus to complain about the job performance of his successor, John Kelly.

The New York Times (1) on Thursday cited people close to the president saying that Trump phoned several people including Priebus to complain about Kelly's performance.

The call comes as the chief of staff finds himself at the center of criticism over the White House response to allegations of domestic abuse leveled against White House staff secretary Rob Porter, who resigned this week after facing allegations from two ex-wives.

3. So Kelly can kiss his ass good bye.

4. Save himself the trouble in a few days....

Just go ahead and clean out his desk now.

5. That Barrel is getting pretty damn full of crap

7. Karma has a surprise for tRump.

He thinks he is going to be able to hoodwink everybody over “this whole Russia thing”. But karma has other ideas. Just wait until he realizes what is coming his way.

22. Big time surprise.

Kelly is doing his damnest to save his sorry ass with his latest Staff E-Mail blast.

[paleotn]

17. Yep.

[joshcryer]

6. John Kelly threatened to quit on several ocassions.

Trump is his bitch. Without John Kelly doing all the work, Trump will actually have to do more delegating and actual decision making. As it stands now he pulls a Gossip Girl call to John Kelly and John Kelly does the rest.

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Sorry to say,Kelly never belonged in this job.

Hunch is one of Trump's Buddies who he calls Daily,suggested Kelly for that job. Military Brass can only function in a Vertical Silo Management Style.

[joshcryer]

13. He's absolutely not equipped for it and there's probably way more delegation.

But he's Trumps right hand man. I really don't see Trump getting rid of him.

John Kelly is running the government: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/455626/john-kelly-president-chief-of-staff-runs-administration

Trump would have to find someone else to take all this power that he's attained and I don't see anyone he'd trust to do the job. The rumors about John Kelly calling Trump an idiot and the like probably grate on Trump and he doesn't like that John Kelly, not actually being the President, but holding all the delegation powers, is irreplaceable.

14. "Military Brass can only function in a Vertical Silo Management Style."

Halle-fricking-luhja!

9. Priebus is thinkin

Oh, shit, I'm gonna have to talk to Muellers team again. Should have let it go to voice mail. Didn't he treat you like crap when he fired you ?Read in Fire And Fury, that is was cold.

May I suggest you screen your callers.

10. This WH gets more hilarious each day.

[Cha]

11. trump's assholes watch fux to get their

"news".. so they have no idea what a shithole the wh is now.

[vkkv]

12. With all that WINNING - TRUMP is LOSING IT.

' Losing it '= his MIND.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Who Hired Him?

Enough said.

[magicarpet]

16. Let Kelly go and bring in "The Mooch".....

..... Scaramucci would bring sparks, color and fireworks to this lethargic White House.

Oh weeee.... fasten your seat belts for a bumpy ride. Makes me nauseous just to think about it.

[paleotn]

18. And he actually took his call?

Are you kidding me? After he took a gigantic shit on Priebus some months ago? These people have zero self respect.

[Miigwech]

20. When is the series finale?

This reality show has too many repeating themes and really low ratings.
