Kelly thinks he's saving U.S. from disaster, calls Trump 'idiot,' say White House staffers

WASHINGTON — White House chief of staff John Kelly has eroded morale in the West Wing in recent months with comments to aides that include insulting the president's intelligence and casting himself as the savior of the country, according to eight current and former White House officials.

The officials said Kelly portrays himself to Trump administration aides as the lone bulwark against catastrophe, curbing the erratic urges of a president who has a questionable grasp on policy issues and the functions of government. He has referred to Trump as "an idiot" multiple times to underscore his point, according to four officials who say they've witnessed the comments.

Kelly may very well be the lone bulwark against catastrophe, curbing the erratic urges of the President. Trump is bonkers ... just in case you hadn't noticed.

John Kelly fights report he called Trump an 'idiot,' says story is 'total BS'

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly emphatically denied an NBC News report Monday that he has repeatedly called President Trump "an idiot" in conversations with aides.
Less than an hour after the NBC report was published, Kelly issued a statement calling the story "total BS."
"I spend more time with the President than anyone else and we have an incredibly candid and strong relationship," said Kelly, who added that Trump "always knows where I stand."
"I am committed to the President, his agenda, and our country," Kelly went on. "This is another pathetic attempt to smear people close to President Trump and distract from the administration’s many successes."
The NBC report, which cited "eight current and former White House officials" described a meeting earlier this year between Kelly and lawmakers to negotiate funding for border security and a resolution on the fate of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
During the meeting, Kelly reportedly said that Trump "doesn't even understand what DACA is. He's an idiot."
A senior administration official who was in that meeting flatly denied to Fox News that Kelly called Trump an "idiot."
Kelly is Trump's second chief of staff, having been appointed to the position this past July to replace Reince Priebus.
The NBC report also stated that Kelly has cast himself as a protecting the country from Trump's impulses and that Trump was growing tired of Kelly's attitude. The Associated Press reported Trump has chafed at Kelly's controlling management style, and has talked with friends occasionally about replacing him.
