After weeks and weeks of endless speculation, we finally have an answer…
John F. Kelly, the retired Marine general who became Donald Trump‘s unlikely Chief of Staff in the White House last year, is finally leaving his position after a tumultuous last few months trying to keep the President in control.

Trump himself made the announcement of Kelly’s imminent departure on the White House lawn on Saturday afternoon, telling reporters (below):
“John Kelly will be leaving — I don’t know if I can say ‘retiring,’ but he’s a great guy. John Kelly will be leaving at the end of the year.”
Hmm… Kelly has long been seen in some circles as the one person who (tried to) keep Trump in check and avoid the President’s poor instincts and bad impulses.
Now that Kelly will be gone by the end of the year, though… well, don’t be surprised if 2019 is as crazy (or crazier) than 2018, y’all!!!
