Staff Reports
In a scathing rebuke, John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff under Donald Trump, confirmed the reports that Trump called dead soldiers “losers” and dead Marines “suckers.” Kelly, who served under Trump from July 2017 to January 2019, supported the reporting in a statement to CNN. It’s no surprise that Trump’s former chief of staff would speak out against him, considering the tumultuous relationship between the two. But Kelly’s comments shed light on the disturbing mentality of a man who held the highest office in the country.
Kelly described Trump as a person who has no respect for those who defend their country in uniform, who mocks military amputees, and who shows contempt for Gold Star families. These allegations paint a picture of a president who lacks empathy and compassion for those who have made great sacrifices for their country. It’s clear that Trump’s priorities were centered around himself and his own image, rather than the well-being and honor of the men and women who serve.
Kelly also criticized Trump for his lack of truthfulness on important issues such as protecting life, supporting women and minorities, and upholding democratic institutions. These are serious accusations that highlight Trump’s disregard for fundamental American values. It’s unsettling to think that a person who held so much power and influence could be so disconnected from the core principles that this country was founded upon.

While the Trump White House denied the report when it was first released, Kelly’s confirmation adds credibility to the claims made by these sources. This renews the debate around Trump’s character and raises questions about his fitness for office. As Trump continues to dominate the polls in the Republican primary for the 2024 election, it’s crucial that voters reflect on his actions and consider whether his behavior aligns with the values and principles they hold dear.
In the end, Kelly’s concluding remarks left readers with a sense of despair and a plea for divine intervention. “There is nothing more that can be said,” Kelly said. “God help us.” These words carry the weight of a man who has witnessed firsthand the shortcomings of a president who lacks the moral compass necessary to lead a country. It’s a stark reminder that the choices we make at the ballot box have real consequences, and we must choose wisely if we want a future that upholds the values and principles that make America great.
On a lighter note, Trump’s public feud with retired Gen. Mark Milley and his legal battles may present obstacles on his path to the 2024 election. It will be interesting to see how these factors play out in the coming months and whether they will impact Trump’s chances of securing the Republican nomination. Stay tuned, folks, because politics is never short on drama!
