Trump furious with Kelly for calling his immigration promises 'uninformed': report
By Rebecca Savransky - 01/18/18 01:20 PM EST
President Trump is reportedly "furious" with White House chief of staff John Kelly after Kelly told a group of Democratic lawmakers that some of Trump's campaign promises on immigration were "uninformed."
The president thought Kelly's comments made him look like he was giving in to the demands of Democrats, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
He also believed the comments made him appear as though he was a child, sources told the Post.
The story comes after Kelly reportedly said that some of Trump's immigration policy pledges from the campaign trail, including building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, were "uninformed."

We get these 'Trump is furious' stories every day.
This is another unsourced story and I hope it isn't true.
I have a lot of respect for Kelly and hope Trump can bear to keep him on.

I don't think he's yet been irate. Maybe you have to be smarter than Trump to be irate.

Trump was either uninformed or lying.

The Hill has a Stock "Trump Furious" story ready to go at a moments notice. Usually once a week they Just insert the name of the person he is to be upset with, add the reason for the furiosity and then credit the veracity of the fury to one of the three sources: A White house insider, A person with Access to Trump, or the tooth fairy.

You knew this was coming. We have to have a weekly 'Trump was furious' story.

I hope Kelly can bear to stay on. He's been a godsend to Trump, whether Trump will admit it or not.

Its just another attempt to paint the administration as chaotic. They found something Kelly said and are trying to use it as a lever. These people will sell their soul to bring down this administration.

"President Donald Trump "absolutely" wants the "chaos" that has been described in news reports about his young administration, developer and longtime friend Tom Barrack said Tuesday."

It's a shitshow.

Oh, Kelly is a tough guy. He knew perfectly well what Trump can be like. He'll stay on if Trump will let him.
-
But what Kelly said about the wall was absolutely true. And Trump knows it. And we all know it.

I think you're right. Kelly, along with a few others like Gen. Mattis and Rex Tillerson, I believe are committed to sticking by the President for patriotic reasons. They know Trump is both volatile and inexperienced, and as far as I'm concerned are the heroes of the past year, keeping Trump from spinning completely out of control.
Trump would be a fool to fire Kelly. And while I've appended more than a few uncomplimentary labels to the President, I don't think he's a fool.
-

Of course. I'm willing to view the wall as a symbol for increased border security and be done with it. That's what most all of us want; Trump apparently still feels the need to make pronouncements that will assuage the folks from Rio Linda, who have visions of a latter-day Great Wall of China, stretching from the Gulf to the Pacific coast.

And the left said the same thing about us during Clinton and Obama.

"He has this ability of going into a cappuccino down under the foam: let experts deal with the foam — and his perception of what is in the espresso is unbelievably good, and he will let them vie with each other.."
What a gay analogy.

Clearly wishful thinking on your part. It's better yes...all that's happened is the death spiral has slowed a little bit.

Hardly. There are still very real fiscal issues to address. We're still having debt limit increase and CR votes, instead of actual budgets to bring debt down. I suppose it'll be a quicker death if the driver sends us speeding into a big, beautiful wall, rather than over a cliff.
