Just Asking, I'm voting for Trump for the 3rd time, but 3 Strikes and It's Over.

Reince Preibus pushed Pence on President Trump because he was a globalist, as with most of DC and was there to direct him. He was a snake from within. It’s a lot easier to go along with the evil, then stand up like President Tump has done. He was a complete outsider who was committed to Making America Great Again! The globalists want to destroy America for a one world government! The border is no accident, the reckless spending is no accident the destruction of our economy is no accident. President Trump was a Lone Ranger in many ways! When he learned of these threats from within, he got rid of them. Peter is spot on!

I was always suspicious of Reince Preibus and Pence. They are both smarmy and creepy and that is enough to set off my red flag radar.

Who is considering Kevin McCarthy for chief of staff? That can not happen. I hope his team is looking more deeply at any that would be recommended for all his key positions. The stakes are so high now and the mis-steps of the 1st term can't be made again. I shudder to think if Peter Navarro hadn't been there.

I have not heard anything about Kevin McCarthy in a Trump Administration. If so, it's Over as the rinoRepubRats will be in charge Once Again.

I have asked the same questions myself a good number of times. The only one I can answer is “Who put Pence in as VP.” He was chosen to help get the evangelical voters. However, it was clear from day 1 he was not on board with President Trump. He and his Chief of Staff, Mark Short undermined the President. That’s where most of the leaking came from. Pence hiding behind religion. Shameful. As to the rest it was a catastrophe. However, remember the learning curve was high. If I had been in office I would have tapped General Mike Flynn for advice on every position and definitely Peter Navarro.

CWs are messy confusing affairs. People are always to some degree flawed, but I don't see a traitor yet in this 2nd Trump WH. A mistake Yes, but not a betrayal imo. but time will tell

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.

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.

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.

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?

America is back! MAGA!

Have a Happy Trump Day!

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.

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."

Gotta wonder if blackmail or bribery played a part in Traitor Kelly's decision.
