John Kelly is running a tight ship

Every few days without fail, in some publication or another, an article appears that runs roughly along the following lines: Previously in the White House, things were in disarray, but now retired general John Kelly is putting an end to all that. To save whoever is next due to write this the trouble of having to go out and get the same quotes all over again, I have gone ahead and written it for him or her. Take the day off, please

JOHN KELLY IS IMPOSING MILITARY DISCIPLINE, AND THE ALARMING THING YOU DID NOT KNOW WAS HAPPENING BUT THAT APPARENTLY HAPPENED EVERY DAY WILL NOT HAPPEN ANY MORE, PROBABLY (BUT THEN AGAIN IT MIGHT).

Since taking over as chief of staff, retired Marine general John F. Kelly has been taking steps to streamline the flow of communication to the president’s desk. Now, visitors will come to the front door and very soberly hand Donald Trump a printout from a list of real websites, instead of the way Trump used to get his information, from Stephen K. Bannon crawling in through the air vent in his pajamas to rant at length about a creepy dream he had.

General Kelly is in charge, and that will not happen any more.

Hasn't figured out he's on the Titanic. Despite his discipline, he will never get a handle on the cry Baby in the WH, Dump continues to throw tantrums and losses his shit over the smallest thing. Kelly will never be able to control him.
