Kelly has frequently threatened to quit if Trump didn't listen to him: report

Source: The Hill

BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 01/19/18 08:49 AM EST

Chief of staff John Kelly used to often threaten to quit to try and get President Trump to fall in line with his orders, The New York Times reported Friday.

One Trump adviser told the Times that Kelly’s threats to leave were one of a few pieces of leverage available to him.

And other advisers told the paper that Kelly will walk out of meetings that go in a direction he doesn’t agree with, and will yell at advisers who speak with Trump without Kelly’s authorization. Kelly has repeatedly denied that he has threatened to quit.

“I am in this for the long haul. It is the most important thing I’ve ever done in my life,” Kelly said on Fox News on Wednesday.

He's not an "adult in the house". He's simply running out of patience and worried the agenda will not become a reality fast enough since dumpolini keeps saying idiotic and inappropriate stuff.

He and dumpolini agree on policy, I have no doubt about that.
