John Kelly Confirms Disturbing Stories About Trump
"What can I add that has not already been said?
A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all 'suckers' because 'there is nothing in it for them.'
A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because 'it doesn't look good for me.'
A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America's defense are 'losers' and wouldn't visit their graves in France."
John Kelly, the former White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, has come forward to confirm several disturbing stories about the former president.
In an exclusive statement to CNN, Kelly set the record straight by confirming on-the-record a number of objectionable comments made by Trump behind closed doors.
These comments include Trump's derogatory remarks about US service members and veterans, his contempt for Gold Star families, and his admiration for autocrats and dictators.
Kelly's statement also confirms details from a 2020 story in The Atlantic by Jeffrey Goldberg.
Trump's inability to understand the sacrifices made by service members is evident in his comments about prisoners of war and those killed in combat.
Trump's lack of understanding led him to call Senator John McCain a "loser" and refer to former President George H. W. Bush as a "loser" as well.
Furthermore, Kelly's statement adds context to a story from The Atlantic about Trump's visit to France in 2018.
Trump reportedly said he didn't want to visit the graves of American soldiers buried in the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery because "it's filled with losers."
Trump also referred to the 1,800 US Marines killed in the Belleau Wood as "suckers" for getting killed.
Kelly's statement also supports a story from the book "The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021" by Susan Glasser and Peter Baker.
In the book, it is revealed that Trump didn't want wounded veterans in a military parade planned in his honor.
Kelly tells Trump that the wounded veterans are the real heroes, but Trump dismisses them, saying, "I don't want them.
It doesn't look good for me."
In his scathing statement, John Kelly expresses his deep concern for the state of the country under Trump's leadership.
He highlights Trump's contempt for democratic institutions, the rule of law, and the values that America stands for.
Kelly concludes with a plea for divine intervention, saying, "God help us."
With Kelly's confirmation of these disturbing stories, it becomes even more evident that Trump's presidency was marked by disrespect, contempt, and a lack of understanding for those who serve and sacrifice for their country.
