Michael Schmidt's Book on Trump Chief of Staff:

John Kelly... came in as chief of staff thinking that Trump needed to have better processes around him. He needed to be staffed better. There needed to be a better system in the West Wing that would keep Trump on track.”

But then John Kelly realized something about Trump that even a blind and a deaf person could figure out.

“Hours and just days into Kelly's tenure, he realized that the problem was far greater than that,” Schmidt said. “The problem was Trump. And Trump was stupider, more impulsive, more limited than he ever thought he would be. Kelly later told someone who I talked to that that he didn't know they made human beings like that.
