after reports claimed he made rude remarks at the grave of Kelly's son

President Donald Trump's 2018 decision not to visit a World War I veteran cemetery in Paris has reignited tension with his former chief of staff John Kelly. At a Friday press briefing, Trump reiterated old claims that Kelly was ill-equipped for his post.

"He was with me, didn't do a good job, had no temperament, and ultimately he was petered out," Trump said. "He got eaten alive. He was unable to handle the pressure of this job."

The president's comments follow a Thursday report from The Atlantic that Trump didn't find it important to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery two years ago, telling senior staff at the time: "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers."

Kelly, a retired four-star Marine Corps general and Trump's longest-serving chief of staff, attended the event along with other world leaders. When Trump received public backlash for his absence, he privately blamed Kelly for telling him he could defer the invitation due to inclement weather, Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig wrote in their book, "A Very Stable Genius."

Trump doesn't know when to shut the fuck up. But what do you expect from a trustifarian?

[LuckyLib]

2. Does he ever STFU? Ever?

[misanthrope]

3. Keep it up, Donnie

You're digging your own grave.

Kelly hasn't said anything publicly, so why the constant berating? Because you know you could have said it and he could have heard it and repeated it to Goldberg? The more you protest, the more you confirm that allegations.

4. Well, now we know it's just the opposite with Gen Kelly

You are, of course right, Trump just can’t shut his fuckin’ pie hole. Even at a cemetery. He has been protected his entire life by the very people he degrades.

The POS is simply jealous, I believe. Trump is jealous of people who have FEELINGS.

11. If only!

[stillcool]

12. amazing he's made it to 74...

[Make7]

13. He was Chief of Staff for 520 days.

How long does it take Trump to figure out someone is unsuited for a job? He wasn't doing a good job, but Trump kept him as his Chief of Staff for well over a year? Chief of Staff is one of the most important positions in the White House.

What happened to "he hires the best people period"?
