Trump blasts retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly [View all]

Source: Local 10

WASHINGTON – During a news conference on Friday afternoon at the White House, President Donald Trump criticized retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly, the former White House chief of staff and former Secretary of Homeland Security.

Trump said Kelly was unable to handle the pressure of his job at the White House. He said Kelly “did not do a good job,” was “unable to function” and he was “exhausted” by the time he left the job in January 2019.

“I know John Kelly. He was with me. He had no temperament,” Trump said, adding Kelly “bad mouths” him.

Trump said the new report by The Associated Press confirming The Atlantic’s recent report is “a hoax” and a “continuation of the witch hunt.” Both reports allege sources heard Trump make disparaging remarks about members of the U.S. military who had been captured or killed.

Wow. By blasting Kelley as the source of the leak, isn't Trump actually validating that he made the disparaging remarks regarding soldiers?
