Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly says telling the president that things he wanted to do were illegal was like 'French kissing a chainsaw'

The former White House chief of staff John Kelly had a vivid simile for the experience of refusing President Donald Trump's requests, according to an upcoming book.

The book, "Donald Trump v. The United States," said that Kelly, a former Marine Corps general, has said that having to say no to Trump "was like 'French kissing a chainsaw,'" per an Axios report.
"Kelly has told others that Trump wanted to behave like an authoritarian and repeatedly had to be restrained and told what he could and could not legally do," the book says, according to Axios.
Neither Kelly nor Trump has responded to the book, which was written by Michael Schmidt, a correspondent for The New York Times.

"Kelly has told others that Trump wanted to behave like an authoritarian and repeatedly had to be restrained and told what he could and could not legally do," the book says, according to Axios.

It continued: "Aside from questions of the law, Kelly has told others that one of the most difficult tasks he faced with Trump was trying to stop him from pulling out of NATO — a move that Trump has repeatedly threatened but never made good on, which would have been a seismic breach of American alliances and an extraordinary gift to Putin."

Kelly, a former Marine Corps general, was the secretary of homeland security before serving as the White House chief of staff from July 2017 to January 2019. His departure came after reports that he and Trump were no longer on speaking terms.

Neither the White House nor Kelly has commented on the book, which, according to its synopsis, used "secret FBI and White House documents and confidential sources inside federal law enforcement and the West Wing" in its reporting.

The White House did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment for this article.

I wonder what the military thinks of you. Oh, that's right, they let you go. You served no purpose, no combat either

Rand Paul's little walk down the street was completely staged.  He has cars pick him up.

And nobody even touched the little snowflake.

Of course it was. Soon as he got back home he was tweeting he was "attacked" and the next day his wife did the same. Totally staged to blame Democrats and Biden. People saw right through it.

Yesterday I had an interesting conversation with people from several European countries. They all agreed on one thing; America has become a banana republic under Trump.

How else can you describe a country where a 17 year old, carrying a semi-automatic weapon can kill two people and be defended on television by the President, who btw sees no harm in people shooting paintball rounds at demonstrators, or taking semi automatic rifles to a anti-covid 19 demonstration, but takes no position when a police officer shoots an unarmed black guy seven times in the back from close distance?

Just how delusional do you have to be to consider any of this even remotely normal?

America is no longer the land of the free.... It's the land of fear.
