Report: Tensions grow between John Kelly, Trump

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-tensions-grow-between-kelly-trump/

CBS News, at the Hill

"SNIP...........

The White House is also pushing back on the Post's report, with a senior official telling CBS News that the story is "not true."

According to the Post, however, Mr. Trump is bristling at Kelly's way of doing things, which includes acting like a gatekeeper to a president who hadn't had one. "Trump appears to pine for the days when the Oval Office was a bustling hub of visitors and gossip, over which he presided as impresario," the paper reports.

The story says that some Trump friends have started calling Kelly "the church lady" due to his efforts to reign in the president. "He doesn't like how Kelly's handling him," a friend told the paper. "He's turning on people that are very close to him."

Yet in public, Mr. Trump has not been shy in lauding Kelly, and attempted to have the retired Army general join him on stage during his recent rally in Phoenix, Arizona. Kelly, however, demurred and stayed to the back of the stage.
