This is just an opinion piece from a huge Trump supporter, who was nowhere near Kelly when he made his comments. On the other side, anyone who knows much about politics knows Kelly is no fan of Trump. Alhamdulillah. Add these to the long list of Trump's disgusting comments about our military, a list that makes these latest so believable. They confirm that he has no respect for our military, or its traditions. Standing side by side, what a stark comparison, General Kelly who's a real patriot, who's made the Marines his life's work and Trump who will not confront Putin about ANYTHING, not even Putin's bounty he put on our soldiers. There's a reason why VP Biden has the majority support of the military.
So yes, I honestly think General Kelly would have stood by and let a sitting president president call fallen Marines losers, although I personally believe it's a mistake. Maybe in the next few weeks Trump will say something
so disgusting the General will feel obligated to finally speak out like four star general Mattis has a little while ago.
General Kelly hasn't denied or confirmed the report due to the reasons below;
"...
Mr. Kelly, who served for more than 40 years in the Marines, has told associates that a retired four-star general should not come out against a sitting president in the heat of a political campaign,..."
"...“I also think he takes to heart the commitment to confidentiality in matters related to their interaction with the president.”..."
Because he didn't immediately denounce the claim, Trump had to go on the attack. We have a child for a president.
“This man was totally exhausted,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Kelly at a news conference on Friday. “He wasn’t even able to function in the last number of months.”[
Btw, who
were the good guys in WWI?...
