President Trump has reportedly told advisers that White House chief of staff John Kelly’s job is “100 percent safe,” amid fears that the retired Marine general could be the latest to leave the administration amid a series of high-profile firings and resignations.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Trump and Kelly met Thursday, where they patched up a rift that emerged earlier this week when the president abruptly fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in a tweet.
Kelly was reportedly taken aback by Trump’s treatment of Tillerson, and aides worried that he would push the issue with the president, the Journal reported.

Having grown weary of Kelly, Trump, unprompted, told a confidant this week that he was angry about a Fox News interview in which the chief of staff said the president’s had “evolved” on the border wall – an interview from two months ago https://t.co/xcEcGwUTEa

Wait wait, are you saying he raises things from months or years ago that he’s still annoyed by? https://t.co/s4uF3cVUXe

Kelly’s job is safe? Yeah. RIIIIIIIIIGHT!
It’s too bad because I think Kelly would have been very good at his job if he didn’t have a moron for a boss who is constantly sabotaging him and spreading rumors that his job is in danger. (Yes, I believe the source of every rumor that someone is about to be fired comes right from Trump.)
