White House chief of staff John Kelly is denying that he called President Trump an idiot. He says the story is “total BS.”

So let it be written, but here is the reporting in which Kelly is quoted as calling the president an idiot.

So what did he know and when did he know it about whether he at any point referred to President Trump as an idiot? Those are the questions to which the American people are going to be demanding answers.
Meanwhile, Trump is going off on the fake news media again, and you can bet that the Kelly story was prominently on his mind when he formulated this tweet.
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!

This story is so 2018.
