John Kelly Says The White House Is A Miserable Place To Work: Report
Kellys tenure in the Trump administration has been rocky for months.
By Nick Visser
Several White House aides have considered leaving the Trump administration in the near future, including chief of staff John Kelly, who reportedly called the building a miserable place to work last week.
Kelly made the comments to a visiting group of senators and has questioned how long he can work for the president, The New York Times wrote on Sunday. Joe Hagin, one of Kellys deputies and the point person arranging the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has also considered departing.
The Times notes people close to Trump have said the president isnt worried about whats expected to be an exodus of staffers after the upcoming midterm elections in November, but rather sees the chaotic atmosphere as beneficial. Turnover in the Trump White House is among the highest in modern history as senior officials have been forced to resign, fired amid scandalous behavior or, much less frequently, left voluntarily.
This is how he won, Steve Bannon, Trumps former chief strategist, told the Times. This is how he governs, and this is his superpower. Drama, action, emotional power.
Kellys own tenure for the past year has been rocky.

Kelly is not having any noticeable effect on Trump, doesn't appear to be reining in any of Trump's worse impulses, and is reduced to anonymous whining to anyone who will listen. Those may seem like serious problems to Kelly, but they're not; people with serious problems are trying to hang on in Haiti and Puerto Rico. People with serious problems came to the U.S. looking for protection from murderous dictators only to find out the murderous dictators had a soulmate squatting in the White House.
