Basically he was saying that generals are in charge and Trump reports to Kelly and mc Master. I dont think I buy it.

Trump is batshit crasy. I could see him ordering a strike on NK. Hopefully they can stop that.

But to me, it came across as near to one as it can get.

General Kelly is telling tRump what to do, getting rid of WH staff. McMasters has gotten rid of Watnick.

Then I thought...a lot of generals pulling the strings at the WH it seems.

I still think it's alarming the amount of military there is so close to civilian power.
