Report: Kelly Told People Trump Was 'Not Up To Role Of President'
  • 5 years ago
The New York Times is reporting on another critical remark John Kelly made about President Trump.

Outgoing White House Chief Of Staff John Kelly reportedly told people that President Trump was "not up to" his leadership role.  "Mr. Kelly was known to tell aides that he had the 'worst job in the world,' and frequently told people that Mr. Trump was not up to the role of president, two former administration officials said," according to a recent piece by the New York Times. The Times released that report not long after the publication of Kelly's exit interview with the Los Angeles Times, in which he made a number of revelations about Trump's border wall.  "To be honest, it's not a wall," Kelly told the media outlet. He went on to explain that during consultations with border patrol personnel, "They said, 'Well we need a physical barrier in certain places, we need technology across the board, and we need more people.'"  Kelly continued: "The president still says 'wall' — oftentimes frankly he'll say 'barrier' or 'fencing,' now he's tended toward steel slats. But we left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration, when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it."
