I respectfully disagree, 4-star flag officers do not get to that level because they are the sharpest tools in the military shed, they get there because they are the sharpest tools in the bureaucrat shed. Most are quite smart, but at the 4 start level, they are absolutely not well suited to be a CoS. They are used to being Kings/Queens, skills that are not suitable to the heavy lifting for execution and direction that a CoS has to do. I know not what a POTUS CoS would do, but generally speaking, the CoS runs the show and has to be competent, diplomatic, and easily adaptable to the decision style and direction of the Boss. Kings/Queens aren't usually very adaptable. If a former military member is to hold such a powerful and critical position as POTUS CoS, then the best skills are found at the O6 level, an "Iron" Eagle - a COL that executes well but doesn't have the bureaucratic skills or connections or possibly warfare experience/grooming to make flag rank. A CoS has to be well aligned with their boss, they sometimes have to execute decisions with which they don't agree, which means they cannot have a leadership style that bleeds with tacit compliance while all messaging something different, either passively with dismissive or less passionate statements or actively by renouncing and saying this is our direction from the boss. They have to be able to sell it to the staff.
You can respectfully disagree but the fact is this. He was military and was using military operational control in a non military setting. But for him to do what he’s doing now, propping up the most dangerous presidential ticket in the history of the US is shameful and an abomination. He is destroying himself shamefully. I’ll add, FOLLOW THE MONEY. The Gates 50 million came in handy.
Amazing how our military leaders went from PATTON … SMITH … GRANT …. PERSHING …. and the man who started a long tradition of HONEST GOD FEARING GENERALS … WASHINGTON !!! Now we have TRAITORS …TREASONERS … + LIARS + THIEVES !!!
It's obvious to all but the ignorant Trump was not prepared for the UNI-PARTY (Reps and Dems) opposition. To me, the biggest mistake Trump made was firing Steve Bannon, who is real MAGA behind MAGA and like you Peter, went to PRISON and we need CRIMINAL charges against the UNI-PARTY traitors to the USA, Let's eliminate Reps and Dems and focus on MAGA vs UNI-PARTY. Sort them out, they're with the USA or against it.
Have you noticed since January 20 how happy Americans are? Have you noticed how normality is returning? Have you noticed how the negativity has disappeared (except with democrats), and Americans now have hope, prosperity, that Biden said he would do and didn’t?
The real question then becomes this. Why is John Kelly as a 4 Star General, so willing to ruin his reputation to prop up the incompetent Cackling Witch Kamalie. He knows she is not fit to be in the office of the President of the United States. Only two scenarios are plausible. 1. He was approached by the Harris Campaign and offered a whopping amount of cash. (The 50 million from Pedo Gates would serve perfectly.) 2. He’s involved in some sexual scandal and was blackmailed.
OMG!!! We are in deep trouble now. If we dare to allow Trump and Musk to fix our corrupt, out of control government, we may NEVER know the answer to the Wood Chuck dilemma.
Thanks Elon and DOGE, thanks a lot. Now we will never know the age old question of chucking woodchucks.
What shall we ever do?
"I was fired from my job at USAID today. I worked in the woodchuck department. We were so close to finding out how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Now we will probably never know."

America is back! MAGA!
Have a Happy Trump Day!

WAS???? ONCE.A TRAITOR ALWAYS A TRAITOR!!!
Must be a trait. Like in most of the "journalists" (teleprompter reader / stenographers) in legacy media.
I love Peter Navarro. Want to see more of him.
Traitor to Trump and the country…
Is anyone surprised that Iraq and Afghanistan were such shit shows?

Kelly was never more than a ‘Pud -Puller’ after leaving the Military; wholly unsuited to any purpose beyond that.
Contrast him with Gen. Flynn to UNDERSTAND the difference.
JOG
Had no idea Kelly was that bad. Who recommended him to Trump?

I agree. CIA operative
Gotta wonder if blackmail or bribery played a part in Traitor Kelly's decision.
Obvious sour grapes because he was fired for incompetency. Generals, these days, are nothing but politicians.
