https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-kelly-miserable_us_5b1e0d06e4b0adfb826b233dJohn Kelly Says The White House Is A Miserable Place To Work: Report
Kellys tenure in the Trump administration has been rocky for months.
Several White House aides have considered leaving the Trump administration in the near future, including chief of staff John Kelly, who reportedly called the building a miserable place to work last week.
Kelly made the comments to a visiting group of senators and has questioned how long he can work for the president, The New York Times wrote on Sunday. Joe Hagin, one of Kellys deputies and the point person arranging the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has also considered departing.
The Times notes people close to Trump have said the president isnt worried about whats expected to be an exodus of staffers after the upcoming midterm elections in November, but rather sees the chaotic atmosphere as beneficial. Turnover in the Trump White House is among the highest in modern history as senior officials have been forced to resign, fired amid scandalous behavior or, much less frequently, left voluntarily.

...a former American general now enabling American traitors and Russian supporters.
The emptiest of empty suits save one orange suit.

Or is it he is a glutton for punishment?
Can't stand the heat, John? Get out of the fucking kitchen.

Couldn't tell...
This said, he dug his grave himself.
Anyone who worked for Trump is unlikely to ever get a new job.

Does he think now is the time to jump ship and pretend he was not part of the crew all along?
