The character shown by Kelly during his performance in the white house as chief of staff has been extremely disappointing. Rather than being the adult in the room he has allowed himself to become one of the chief infantile toddlers in the room.. Trumpism as a disease is extremely contagious. It infects everyone who comes into contact with it.
Conservative pundit Michael Gerson: “For some years, the main political project of the right has been to take control of the government while denigrating the government. Donald Trump drew this strategy to its logical conclusion during his presidential campaign, asserting as a kind of refrain: “Our politicians are stupid.”Which came to mind following the revelation that chief of staff John Kelly had kept Rob Porter in a sensitive position (White House staff secretary) after being informed by the FBI that there was a protective order against him. As it came to mind when Michael Flynn was elevated to national security adviser following repeated FBI warnings that he might be compromised by the Russians. As it came to mind after the elevation of Anthony Scaramucci to, well, any position of public trust.”

Also this: “I have to admit that the Trump administration has acted with a certain consistency in these matters. Trump and his team accused the government of being corrupt – and have proved it beyond reasonable doubt. They alleged that the government was brimming with stupidity – and took it as a kind of recruiting challenge. Across the executive branch, it is a golden age for the unqualified and unfit. This is the natural outcome of contempt for professional experience, contempt for governing skill, contempt for government itself.”

Kelly was always destined to fail as chief of staff. His job was to keep the president disciplined, minimize distractions and get things done – three things Preibus never could do. But if making the trains run on time means he has to have a woman-beater on staff, it is not worth it. He couldn’t bring order to the White House, triggered Trump by pushing out Omarosa and gave the whole Trump administration a black eye (even if it was Porter who threw the punch) – That doesn’t even mention how he things the Civil war was due to a lack of compromise… on “both” sides right?
That’s right, John! After all, all of the “president’s” historical ‘heroes’ in Europe (the White part, anyway) have been able to brag about their railroad “on-time” schedule. Donnie “needs” this ability to reaffirm, in his ‘mind’ that he is AT LEAST as adequate as his ‘heroes’ were in their control of their countries.

Trump is a man without qualities who has surrounded himself with men of his own ilk. When you throw the bar away the question of “how low” is moot.

Kelly could do America a huge favor, tie Trump to the tracks and walk away.
