John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, offered his harshest criticism yet of the former president in an exclusive statement to CNN.

Kelly set the record straight with on-the-record confirmation of a number of damning stories about statements Trump made behind closed doors attacking US service members and veterans, listing a number of objectionable comments Kelly witnessed Trump make firsthand.

“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.

“A person who is not t***hful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women,” Kelly continued. “A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason – in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.

“There is nothing more that can be said,” Kelly concluded. “God help us.”

Coild not possibly be worse than what the democrats and FJB are doing......

1. Opened our southern boarder to criminals, drug dealers , terrorists and drugs k*****g 100,000 of our citizen
2. Botched the withdrawal in Afghanistan- including the blood of 13 American Service Personnel
3. Sending billions of dollars to Ukrainian but hasn’t found the time to assist or visit the chemical train catastrophe in Ohio
4. Offered 700 dollars to citizens in Maui who lost everything including hundreds of lives but sent billions to Ukrainian to pay wages for administrative people
5. Sent fertilizer and seeds to the farmers in Ukrainian when our farmers are being pushed with inflated seed and fertilizer pricing here
6. Inflation that has Americans finding it difficult to put food on their tables - and prices are still rising
7. Gas prices on the rise - almost double what it was when he took offic
8. Cancelled drilling in America to the point of making us buy from our enemies IE Venezuela, Iran, Russia when we have larger deposits right here at home larger than all put together
9. Depleted our emergency oil supplies and then refused to replace them not to mention selling 1million barrels to China that he should have used here
10. Turning i******s loose and then flying and busing these folks all over the country - but when Texas did the same busing thousands to Sanctuary Cities which have changed their tune and are now crying uncle
11. Refused to allow states to erect the balance of the wall on our southern boarder - in fact was selling off the material until he was legally stopped
12. Biden is also better at putting his foot in his mouth and he deserves to be recognized for his enormous ability to prevaricate.

Say all you want about the current president and ignore the horrible things the former had to say about our war fighters. Typical trump supporters, why not just stick your fingers in your ears and go la,la,la to drowned out the t***h.

This isn’t a team sport we’re talking about. This is the future of our nation. Both sides play the people. Both sides are as corrupt as hell. It doesn’t need to be one or the other. We need to focus on major issues and somehow get past the D and R team logos.

Michael10

We agree that both sides do a lot of things to benefit themselves and not the American people but if there has ever been a corrupt politician his name is Donald Trump.

JR-57 Loc: South Carolina

You didn’t think at all about what I said. Not one bit! How can you be so partisan? It’s beyond my imagination. This nation is circling the drain under the current administration. You and people like you are obsessed. Believe and say what you want about Trump. I don’t give a rat’s ass. For the sake of the nation, stop ignoring and lying to yourself about the corruption and attack on our founding values. Apply your standards evenly across the board. If you can’t do that, you’re one stupid and selfish SOB.

Oh I'm not lying to myself about trump, he has a long history of corruption and any one man who would attack democracy isn't worth squat in my book, If that makes me a selfish SOB so be it. at the very least I recognize corruption at it's worst. I have always posted arrest the corrupt on this site and I don't care which side they are on and have always reflected that in my posts so maybe you should take a long look at who the real selfish SOB is here. You people will never say a word to criticize your own side while I do about mine. There's a lot I don't like about Democrats but to compare them with the GOP there is only one way I can cast a v**e.

let's see what *Demoncraps...say behind "closed doors"....We already have seen, countless faux-pas, uttered by so many *Demoncraps, on, & off the microphone! From Biden, Obammy, Clinton, Schumer, Pelosi.... & senators, Congressmen[democrats]...et al!

Where is the E******y?... Justice? This Nation is "terminal", from political demoncrap criminality!


Shall we persecute them also? What say You? ? ? ? ? , ,

JR-57 Loc: South Carolina

You’ve proven my point. Trump Trump Trump. What do guy have to say about Biden Biden Biden? As far as I’m concerned they should both disappear and be relegated to the history books. Let the chips fall where they may. Personally, I can’t stand Trump or Biden.

David L Loc: Central Wisconsin

Please explain how Trump benefited himself. And also, please judge him by his actions and not by what some cowardly back stabber says about him.

Michael10

I'll agree Biden is not the candidate I would chose and should take a seat and yes I do focus on trump only because I see the corruption he brings with him. NO billionaire will ever make the betterment of the people as first priority but when they have been convicted of fraud in the courts, like trump has, they are a far worst choice for the people. No one can say I'm party driven because I have v**ed in both directions, didn't v**e for Clinton did v**e for Reagin and Bush 1. I look at the candidates and choose who I think will be better for the people. If that makes me in your opinion a selfish SOB once again take a look in the mirror.

JR-57 Loc: South Carolina

How you can classify me as a selfish SOB based on my comments is indicative of your one sided view at this point in time. Do you see the self serving corruption by the Bidens?
