Kelly says report he called Trump an idiot is 'total BS' In a recent video, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly directly addressed rumors regarding a controversial remark attributed to him about President Donald Trump. During this segment, Kelly emphatically denied calling Trump an "idiot," referring to the reports circulating in the media as "total BS." This statement highlights the long-standing tension within the Trump administration and the way it navigates public perception. The episode underscores the complications faced by high-ranking officials in defending themselves against rumors and mischaracterizations that can quickly escalate in the media landscape. Despite the absence of a transcript, Kelly's attempt to clarify the situation speaks volumes about the persistent scrutiny faced by Trump's White House. The incident serves not only as a defense of his own reputation but also reflects the broader challenges of communication and truth in political discourse.
