General John Kelly: I Warned Donald Trump About Getting Impeached
BLUF:
[Breitbart] Kelly admitted that he had "second thoughts" about leaving, after watching the chaos take place in the White House in his absence.

"It pains me to see what’s going on because I believe if I was still there or someone like me was there, he would not be, kind of, all over the place," he said.

Despite Kelly’s attempt to rein in Trump’s instincts, he ultimately resigned in December 2018 after a tumultuous period in the White House with warring political factions.

A former Marine general, Kelly appeared to resent his job at the White House, describing it as "bone-crushing hard" after he left and "the least enjoyable job" he ever had.

The general signaled disapproval with the way the White House was run in his absence under Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.

"The system that should be in place, clearly ‐ the system of advising, bringing in experts in, having these discussions with the president so he can make an informed decision, that clearly is not in place," he said. "And I feel bad that I left."

"Second thoughts, bone-crushing hard, least enjoyable, turmoil everywhere...."

Whatever happened to the old "Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome." I'm certain you made the right decision General, handing the job off to someone you view as even less capable. Surely you made some contributions. Dwell on those, pet the dog, and take a nice nap.

Like so many others within the beltway, solutions appear to escape him.
