I think this pretty much confirms that Trump said all those things in front of John Kelly:
He said it. He knows John Kelly knows he said it. So, like all the other troops he’s demeaned and degraded as losers and suckers and the like, he’s now doing it to him. He might as well have just confirmed the story.
But let’s ask ourselves what kind of person would say these things to a retired 4 Star General who lost his son on the battlefield. I think it’s a power trip, saying these grotesque things to someone he knows will have to sit there and take it or make a huge gesture and walk off the job? I’m sure he knew it was offensive to Kelly. That was the point.
Sociopath.
