Kelly angered Melania by firing Trump aide with alleged online gambling problems
Chief of staff John Kelly has lost his “credibility and influence” within the White House, according to a report from The Washington Post.
Kelly was not fully consulted on recent key personnel decisions and has lost the support of some of the staff while angering First Lady Melania Trump by dismissing the president’s aide, Johnny McEntee, White House sources told the Post.
"When you lose that power," Bill Clinton’s chief of staff Leon Panetta told the Post "you become a virtual White House intern, being told where to go and what to do."
Sources also told The Hill earlier this week that Kelly's influence with the president is fading.
A source within Trump’s orbit told The Hill, “John, I think, is frustrated because his influence has been diminished and he cannot control what the president does.”
