John Kellys allies now realize Trump is the one leaking dirt on him to the press: NYT reporter
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/john-kellys-allies-now-realize-trump-one-leaking-dirt-press-nyt-reporter/
There have been several leaks out of the White House recently that paint an unflattering portrait of White House chief of staff John Kelly, and the New York Times Maggie Haberman says that Kellys allies now believe the leaks are coming from President Donald Trump himself.
Writing on Twitter, Haberman described low morale at the Trump White House and she said that many White House staffers believe that their own colleagues are lying about their roles in the handling of former staff secretary Rob Porter, who was fired after it was revealed that both of his former wives accused him of domestic abuse.
Several White House aides have described a diffuse situation as opposed to a more precise one last year when the focus of attacks was either Priebus or Bannon, Haberman writes. Most think the people directly involved in retaining Porter are lying to some degree.
Haberman then said morale had sunk to a low point not seen since the presidents insistence after Charlottesville that there were very fine people attending a white nationalist rally and she said that Kellys allies think Trump is trying to oust him through leaking dirt to the press.

(102,280 posts)I have nothing but disdain for Kelly now, who sold his soul (and reputation) to the devil, but I still don't know that we will be better off with him gone. Frankly I don't want to give Trump ANYTHING that looks like a personal "win".

(869 posts)I heard through a friend of mine, who claims to know this for a fact here in D.C., that Spicy (Sean Spicer) can't get a job right now, he is too toxic in D.C. I hope this happens to all of them, once they are barfed out of the White House - no one will touch them.

(47,458 posts)back in those days, didn't know who he was, but she remembered the eyebrows. I tried to imagine a man like that coming on to me and "smarmy" would fit the bill. He was more subdued and soft spoken when he was younger, but that made him even more creepy.

(6,212 posts)I agree with you he was even more creepy in his soft spoken smarmy younger days.

I wish this were a joke but with Trump, Jared is just as likely to get the job as anyone else.
CatMor
(6,212 posts)Jared is idle these days after solving the other problems. Maybe they could work together seeing as Ivanka's only job seems to be wearing a new outfit everyday.

(1,896 posts)That was another alter-ego he uses. Isn't it creepy that he named his son Barron?
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Actually, when I wrote the post, I used John BARRON in the title, then went looking for the video and saw it was John MILLER, then remembered that he used BOTH names, and the whole thing felt even sicker. Yes, the "Barron" thing sort of makes my skin crawl. When you start to look for Trump's "limits," you realize there AREN'T ANY. He gets away with everything now because of his title. He got away with it in the past because of daddy's connections, "alleged mob ties," and the fact that he is a pathological liar.

He would be the BEST chief of staff EVER.
He can do both jobs, he just needs more executive time. Hopefully that will be at a federal pen soon.
