President Donald Trump on Friday excoriated retired Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, whom he said was exhausted and unable to handle the pressure as his former chief of staff.
Trump said, I know John Kelly. He was with me, didn't do a good job, had no temperament, and ultimately he was petered out. He got eaten alive. He was unable to handle the pressure of this job.
He got was exhausted. This man was totally exhausted, he wasn’t even able to function in the last number of months. He was not able to function. He was sort of a tough-guy. By the time he got eaten up in this world it’s a different world than he was used to, he was unable to function.
Trump said he fired Kelly but allowed him to resign. I told him, ‘John, you’re going to have to go. Please give me your letter of resignation.’ And we did that. And now he goes out and badmouths
Kelly, who served as Trump's secretary for the Department of Homeland Security before moving to the West Wing, was Trump's longest-serving chief of staff.
