White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has emphatically denied calling President Trump an idiot.
This stands is stark contrast to former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Last October, when reports emerged that Tillerson had referred to Trump as a moron he wouldn't deny he had said it. What was more interesting me is when Tillerson arrived at that conclusion. Regardless of when Tillerson arrived at that conclusion, he was out of a job less than six months later. Kelly wants to avoid this fate.
I'm inclined to think Kelly didn't call Trump an idiot. Trump and Kelly are kindred spirits. He shares Trump's mean streak. Indeed, Kelly told reporters that Tillerson was on the toilet when he gave him his walking papers. Back in October, Kelly vociferously defended Trump's call to Sgt. La David Johnson's widow who had said Trump had been disrespectful to her and the memory of her husband. If Kelly is willing to call a war widow a liar then I doubt he referred to Trump as an idiot. John Kelly has become one himself.
