If Trump can't take the heat he should just resign. He's incompetent and unfit for office. Our nation is at great risk as long as he's in office.

Yup, things have been absolutely terrible. Moron.

Shocking.
Your dumbass is going to question the integrity of a man like Kelly? That’s hilarious. I predicted last week we’d have another Kelly is resigning moment in the very near future.

Still shocked. This can't be happening.
You have no idea about James Mattis. The man’s integrity is beyond reproach as is his honor. I’ve seen it in person. If he denies it, then take it as gospel that Woodward heard it through a second hand source and that source was feeding Woodward ******** for an ulterior motive.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is reported to have frequently lost his temper, and described Trump as “an idiot.”

“It’s pointless to try to convince him of anything. He’s gone off the rails. We’re in Crazytown,” Kelly said, according to Woodward. “I don’t even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I’ve ever had.”

On Tuesday, Kelly said that the account was false.

The idea I ever called the President an idiot is not true," he said in a statement. "As I stated back in May and still firmly stand behind: 'I spend more time with the President than anyone else, and we have an incredibly candid and strong relationship. He always knows where I stand, and he and I both know this story is total BS. I'm committed to the President, his agenda, and our country. This is another pathetic attempt to smear people close to President Trump and distract from the administration’s many successes."

If I had not called the president an idiot, I would have said, “I have never called President Trump an idiot.”

The statement above sounds like weasel words to me.

A few facts:

There are no policy critiques in this book...none. The book relies strictly on smears, because the Left has no effective, detailed, legislative agenda to offer voters that's superior to Trump's. If you reject that, then simply go find what that is and measure that against Trump's legislative agenda. Good luck, this book does NOT do that for you.

If Trump is as ineffective as an administrator as his detractors in the book insist, then why aren't they still working for him? Did they voluntarily submit their resignations in disgust or were they fired for either insubordination, ineffectiveness, or incompetence?

The people who are still still working for the President and who were quoted in the book ALL deny they said what they were quoted as saying. Are they all lying yet continuing to choose to work for an administrator whom they believe to be incompetent? Who's forcing them to stay if they believe what they're quoted as saying? Did Woodward explain this?

This book was timed for release just before the midterms, and the reason why is stated in the first paragraph of this post.

Finally, you will not hear, and you will not see Democrats offering any better results than Trump's measured on-the-job-performance. In the business world where competition spells either success or defeat, you are measured by your RESULTS. Democrats and the Left are asking voters to accept Trump as a buffoon, as incompetent, unsure of himself, and incapable of operational acumen. When voters measure his performance results they do not see manifestations of these characteristics, ironically they can evaluate the incompetent efforts of his detractors who offer no alternatives with superior results.

So, if you can't beat him smear him. My advice... ignore the smears, judge the policy performance and the legislative agenda Trump offers against the proposed alternatives, measure the results, and then VOTE.

Trump's agenda wins in a landslide.

Fact.

Woodward's credibility is sound.

I'm waiting for the explanation of why folks who think Trump's incompetent would continue to work for him? If I thought my boss was a jerk I'd quit, or at least go work for someone else who I respected more.

Simple. They love their country.

LOL. Kelly and Mattis aren't in this for personal reasons.

Doesn't matter. If they think their boss is incompetent, no one is forcing them to stay and trash him, and ironically ultimately defend him. No job is worth your personal integrity unless you're on the Left trying to keep law breakers from being prosecuted because then you won't get your keep cushy swamp dwelling job!

Bottom line, voters are judging Trump on his performance RESULTS...not this smear, not gossip, not "anonymous sources". His RESULTS. Unless or until you Democrat Leftists come up with better alternatives to produce better results based on real policy objectives, you will lose and continue to lose.

Voters don't care about anything but results, and the tax cuts are working, unemployment is at historic lows, GDP is at 4.2%, consumer confidence is at an all time high, investments are at an all time high, stocks are at all time highs, and business confidence is at an all time high.

Democrats are offering what as an alternative?
chirp...chirp...chirp....chirp....chirp...chirp...chirp....

Wrong. Voters vote for someone they like. That has never changed.

OK...you take that to the voters this fall. I know you have to rely on that because you don't have anything else to offer voters besides hatred for Trump. At least you admit it.

You're right...that's why "kankles" never had a chance. The mistake you guys are making is thinking everyone has TDS like you all. Some of us have been immunized. I realize it's too late for you, I get that...but treatments are available similar to AIDS...no promises of any "cures" though.
