Did Donald Trump Fire John Kelly? Comments Explained

As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed more political drama than some politicians themselves, I must say that the ongoing saga between Donald Trump and John Kelly is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride through the unpredictable world of politics.


As a fervent admirer looking back, it seems the bond between me, Donald Trump, and John Kelly has once again become a hot topic in the press, stirring curiosity regarding whether Kelly decided to part ways or was dismissed. More recent remarks by Trump have only intensified discussions about the true nature of Kelly’s exit from the White House.

Here’s what we know about Trump’s remarks and the circumstances surrounding Kelly’s exit.

What did Donald Trump say about firing John Kelly?

Donald Trump’s connection with his ex-White House Chief of Staff, General John Kelly, has been characterized by heavy public critique and numerous derogatory comments.

In a recent interview, Trump referred to Kelly as one of the most intellectually limited individuals he’s encountered and described him as a lowlife. He also characterized Kelly as a very unintelligent person who made poor decisions. This verbal attack is a continuation of an ongoing dispute between the two, with Kelly becoming increasingly critical of Trump since his departure from the administration.

In July 2017, General Kelly, a veteran Marine and previous Homeland Security Secretary, took on the role of Chief of Staff for Trump, aiming to bring order to the White House. Yet, the bond between them deteriorated rapidly, leading to his departure from the position in December 2018.

Later on, Trump asserted that he “let him go just like that” and deemed him “unfit for the task.” This tension escalated when Kelly verified that Trump had labeled our military personnel as “fools” and “failures,” a remark that stirred up a significant uproar due to its controversial nature.

In August 2024, Trump resumed his critiques, labeling Kelly as a “feeble tyrant” and persisting in his assaults against his ex-adviser over the latter’s criticisms of Trump’s leadership style. Concurrently, Kelly has alleged that Trump possesses authoritarian leanings, idolizes dictators, and demonstrates disrespect towards democratic institutions.

As a gamer, let me put it this way: During Trump’s presidency, he allegedly made some questionable demands of me. He reportedly asked me to leverage the IRS and the Department of Justice to go after his political adversaries. Given my commitment to lawfulness and ethics, I flatly refused these appeals. This ongoing disagreement underscores the substantial chasm between us.

With Election Day drawing near, this division continues to be a prominent topic in discussions about Donald Trump’s management approach.
