Trump Says He Picked Chief Of Staff Who Was Born With ‘Small Brain’

Donald Trump is once again lashing out at his former Chief of Staff John Kelly after Kelly went after Trump a week ago. Trump is letting this minor and completely irrelevant feud go, and now Trump is insulting his own judgement by attacking Kelly. In his most recent attack, Trump claims that Kelly was "born with a very small brain," but that just raises questions about why Trump would pick such a person for such an important job. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Donald Trump just loves reminding the American public that he's actually really, really bad when it comes to hiring people to work for him. So recently Donald Trump has been on the rampage against people, of course, that he has hired, uh, or he had hired while he was president of the United States. Everybody from his Attorney General to multiple different chiefs of staff who served underneath him. The latest, of course, is his ongoing feud with General John Kelly, who was one of Donald Trump's first chiefs of staff. And he was supposed to be, I mean, reports said at the time Kelly was gonna be the adult in the room. Well, about a week or so ago, John Kelly came out and said that Donald Trump and I did a video on this last week, said, Donald Trump is quote, scared poopless. It's not the exact word he used. I'm just trying to soften the language in case the kids are watching.

But, uh, he did also go on to say that this is the way he compensates for that. He gives people the appearance. He doesn't care. By doing this for the first time in his life, it looks like he's being held accountable. Donald Trump wasn't happy about that, folks. So over this weekend, Donald Trump gets on truth social and says that John Kelly was born with a small brain. Here is Donald Trump's full quote about the man he personally selected to be his chief of staff. John Kelly pretended to be a tough guy, but was actually weak and ineffective, effective, uh, born with a very small brain. He had a hard time functioning in a political world and was truly an exhausted and beaten man when I fired him. In the end, he was a mummy who sat in his office and stared at the ceiling. He was shot. I'll never forget how his very nice wife told me that John loves you and respects you more than anyone.

He will always say the best things about you. Oh, well, so much for that. You know, because he was, he was born with really small brain as a baby, as babies. Babies have smaller, smaller heads than in the brain will will grow over time. Um, so that's, uh, that's weird, right. But here's the thing. While trying to attack John Kelly, what Trump is actually doing is admitting I suck at picking people to hire. Because if what you're saying about John Kelly is true, which it's not, but let's assume it is. Let's assume that all your other attacks on all the other people, which, uh, uh, rolling Stone put out a good list. You've also gone after recently, uh, Mulvaney, who was another chief of staff of yours, you said he was perhaps the dumbest person working at the White House and a born loser. You attacked John Bolton repeatedly calling him a moron. Uh, you attacked James Mattis, one of your defense secretary is the world's most overrated general, uh, mark Asper, one of your other defense secretaries, you called him weak, a lightweight, and capable of leading. And you also recently described Kayleigh McNaney as quote, not

A real star. And as you put it, milk toast. So let's assume again that everything you're saying about all these people is accurate. You hired them. These are all the people you had working for you in your administration, people you chose.
