Asked about reports that WH chief of staff John Kelly may leave this summer, POTUS said:

“No, we’re getting along very well. Look at some point things happen. But I will tell you we have a very good — you see that — we have a very good relationship. He’s a wonderful man...
”...John Kelly, four star, wonderful man. And don’t forget this is a big change for him. This isn’t that easy a change for him. We have a very very good relationship.”
Asked how long Kelly will stick around, POTUS said:

“That I don’t know. I can’t tell you that. I can say that we’ve had a very good relationship and we’ve achieved a lot together. So I like John a lot. I like him and I respect him.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo maintained that “there’s no contradiction whatsoever” in the shifting Syria strategy since President Trump’s initial announcement of US withdrawal.
“This is a story made up by the media.”
2/“...That’s fine, you all write what you like, but the President’s been very clear, and Ambassador Bolton and I have been very clear about this too, that the threat from radical Islamic terrorism is real. ISIS continues – we fight them in many regions around the country...
3/“... Our commitment to prevent Daesh growth, ISIS’ growth, is real. It’s important. We will continue at that,” he said in Cairo.
“We’re going to do it in a way in one particular place, Syria, differently. The United States’ decision, President Trump’s decision to withdraw..

Erdogan himself didn’t make time to meet with Bolton and said that “despite the fact that we reached a clear agreement with Mr. Trump, different voices have been raised from different echelons of the U.S. administration.”
2/ Erdogan: “Trump’s views on Syria and his determination to pull out remain our point of reference.” Re Bolton request Turks don’t attack Kurds, Erdogan said he “cannot make any concessions. Those involved in a terror corridor (in Syria) will receive the necessary punishment.”
3/AP: Shortly after Bolton’s meetings and in an apparent snub to the U.S. diplomatic push, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara’s preparations for a new military offensive against terror groups in Syria are “to a large extent” complete.

Knowledgeable source tells me that White House forced out Pentagon Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Kevin Sweeney (ret.)
Official title was “Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense.”
Sweeney was going to leave within a couple months, having worked directly for Mattis, but WH forced him out before he wanted to leave, knowledgeable source says.

1/ NEW INVESTIGATION: Over the course of three weeks, a major U.S. defense contractor detained dozens of immigrant children inside a vacant Phoenix office building with no kitchen and only a few toilets. revealnews.org/article/defens…
2/ Videos shot by an alarmed neighbor show the children, dressed in sweatsuits, being led into the 3,200-square-foot office building in early June.
3/ We’re not sure if these children were separated from their parents by the zero-tolerance policy. But their young age indicates they could have been.

And this happened while the policy was in effect.

Oh hey I see people linking this tweet me along with the #StealthJeffHoax hashtag.

Apparently, some people think I've always been a Trump supporter.

Far from it!

In fact, let's take a walk down memory lane and remember just how Never Trump I was back in 2016.
OK actually, let's start in 2015. On Sept. 14, 2015 I wrote THIS for my blog:

Way to go, media. After the Rob Porter debacle, WH Chief of Staff John Kelly *ANNOUNCED* changes would be made to the handling of security clearances.

Look who's picture is PROMINENTLY FEATURED in this WAPO report from 11 days ago:

washingtonpost.com/politics/kelly…
The media knew ELEVEN DAYS AGO that the changes John Kelly was making would result in the downgrading of the temporary security clearances many people in the White House currently have - *including* #JaredKushner.
NEWSFLASH: There is no such thing as a 'permanent' security clearance. These clearances have to be renewed regularly. The media is attempting 2 things:

John Kelly has some very bizarre notions of character.

This man, Todd Shane Tomko, was arrested on 7 felony warrants of indecent liberties with a child.

Who was the child molester's character witness?

Trump White House Chief of Staff -

John Kelly

military.com/daily-news/201…
Tomoko was charges w sex crimes involving 3 children in Virginia

The former Marine Corps colonel, was arrested in Nov in his hometown of Quincy, Ill., where he had been serving as pastor of Parkview Church following his court-martial & forced retirement from the Marines. Why?
... inappropriate sexual contact with subordinates.

Seems John Kelly has a soft spot for a certain type of criminal.

Kelly should not leave the Trump WH.

He is a perfect fit.
