* John Kelly warned Trump he would be impeached if he hired a 'yes man'



"I said, whatever you do — and we were still in the process of trying to find someone to take my place — I said whatever you do, don't hire a 'yes man,' someone who won't tell you the truth — don't do that," Kelly said. "Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached."

So he 'won't be all over the place.'

I've got a suggestion: a man who needs a babysitter should not be sitting in the White House.

Trump hates checks and balances. He ignores the law. He hates anyone telling him he is wrong, or take a different course, or that isn't advisable, etc. He WANTS a yes man. If you disagree with him, you are fired. He knows he is wrong but he wants you to shut up about it.

Yet the choir can't get big enough or repetitive enough for me.

The man is an absolute disaster and frightfully dangerous. But Kelly doesn't speak to that, only that The Donald needs caretaking and bumper rails.

I think Rick Wilson penned it correctly at the start: Everything Trump Touches Dies.
