John Kelly Follows Orders. Thats Exactly What Trump Critics Are Afraid Of.
The former secretary of Homeland Security has defended and carried out some of the presidents most controversial policies.
By Jessica Schulberg , Elise Foley
WASHINGTON ― John Kelly, the new White House chief of staff, doesnt often talk about what he believes.
Even people who have worked with the retired Marine general for years people who like and respect him say they know little about his politics. What they do know is that Kelly follows orders, and that hes demonstrated a particular zeal for defending and aggressively executing some of President Donald Trumps most extreme policies.
Ultimately, these people say, Kellys personal beliefs dont matter. In his new job, Kelly may succeed in stabilizing and professionalizing Trumps team. But theres no reason to believe he will change the presidents views.
If anyone can bring order to Trumps White House, its Kelly, according to a former Democratic Capitol Hill staffer who worked with and likes him. But the positive qualities that Ive seen in him and experienced in him also sort of make me fearful, the ex-staffer said. Im worried
he could just become a yes man and create this well-oiled machine that functions effectively or as effectively as possible around Trumps incompetence and erraticness.

Note: Lawrence O'Donnel is saying the opposite of this evidently as another thread is suggesting. Guess we will have to see how it plays out.
