seem to be first-hand confirmation of some of the reports:
In his written statement, Kelly confirmed several explosive allegations included in a September 2020 article by Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, including that Trump turned to Kelly during a Memorial Day celebration at Arlington National Cemetery in 2017 and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
And this:
Kelly also confirmed that Trump told him he did not want wounded soldiers in a military parade the former president was planning at the time, a detail first reported by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser in their book The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021.
“Look, I don’t want any wounded guys in the parade,” Trump said.
“Those are the heroes,” Kelly said. “In our society, there’s only one group of people who are more heroic than they are – and they are buried over in Arlington.”
“I don’t want them,” Trump responded. “It doesn’t look good for me.”
Those aren’t the most damaging, but they, along with his televised actions toward a Gold Star family, should give one pause.
Unless, of course, John Kelly is a loser who wasn’t up to the task.
