The president of the United States is known for making remarks that are considered to be things a world leader must not say. Trump has managed to say a lot of inappropriate things especially when he became the president. He somehow continues to do so, it is technically not every single time he is on public, but the fact that is very active on his Twitter gives him an opportunity to say things that are not very nice to hear.
Over the past year, he had made some pretty harsh comments when it comes to racism and gender equality, and these aren’t appreciated by a lot of people. In fact, recently, he actually made quite a few comments when the Paralympics athletes paid a visit to the White House after the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The president said that the games were “tough to watch” and most people were surprised by this comment since it may sound degrading especially coming from the president, however, some are not surprised since this is something Trump has done in the past. A comedienne even roasted him at the most recent White House Correspondents Dinner. Because of the president’s reputation when it comes to making statements that a world leader wasn’t supposed to make, some of the people, even those who work with him, tend to call him names, just like the most recent one when the chief of staff allegedly called the president an “idiot.”
Kelly refers to Trump as an idiot
The President Is An Idiot
A news broke out that some members of the White House staff have heard chief of staff John Kelly insult the president behind his back a couple of times and has referred to him as an “idiot”. According to some sources, Kelly has been saying that he is the right person to save the country in the hands of the president.
This has been confirmed by not just one but eight White House officials, some of who are still working there and some who have left. One of the officials claims that the chief of staff actually refers to himself as the “lone bulwark against catastrophe” since he has been guiding the president towards some policy issues and he actually called Trump an idiot quite a few times.
The officials said that they have witnessed it themselves which is why they are so sure of it. However, the chief of staff referred to this news as “total BS”, according to Kelly, he spends so much time with the president compared to anyone and their relationship is really strong and they both know what exactly he is there for and that when he found out about these allegations, the president also considered it as a nonsense.
The White House is running very smoothly despite phony Witch Hunts etc. There is great Energy and unending Stamina, both necessary to get things done. We are accomplishing the unthinkable and setting positive records while doing so! Fake News is going “bonkers!”

Kelly explained in a statement how as the chief of staff of the country, he is very committed not just to his job but also to the president and to the people of America. These allegations were just an attempt of people trying to distract them and think that the current administration is failing since they are not recognizing any of their many success over the past year.
This was actually backed up by some White House spokespeople since they said that these allegations are not accurate, they haven’t even heard Kelly actually talk to himself like that especially about him being the savior of the country.
The Fake News is going crazy making up false stories and using only unnamed sources (who don’t exist). They are totally unhinged, and the great success of this Administration is making them do and say things that even they can’t believe they are saying. Truly bad people!

Times Trump’s People Insulted His Intelligence
This wasn’t the very first time that the president got some pretty bad insult said to him by some of the people under his administration. One of the most famous ones was actually when former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson called him another derogatory term in front of the president’s colleagues.
Trump even challenged the former Secretary of State with an IQ test to prove that he is not what he said he was, later on, Trump had to fire him after the news broke out. Some other people who worked with the president have also described their experiences as if they are working with a child. Just like the remarks from former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh as well as Trump’s former advisor Steve Bannon and also Republican Senator Bob Corker, who said that the White House has actually turned into a daycare center when Trump took office.
