"John Kelly Confirms Controversial Trump Incidents in Exclusive Statement"

In an exclusive statement obtained by CNN, John Kelly, who served the longest tenure as White House chief of staff under Donald Trump's administration, provided explicit confirmation of numerous unsettling stories about derogatory remarks made by Trump towards US service members and veterans.



John Kelly openly verified these narratives, which include several recorded objectionable comments from Trump that Kelly had personally witnessed. These included but were not limited to, belittling statements about military amputees and a shunning display towards Gold Star families.


Kelly’s verification provides tenable truth to the 2020 report published by The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. The report relayed controversial remarks made by Trump questioning the sacrifices made by US soliders, such as, “What was in it for them?” raised at the Arlington National Cemetery during Memorial Day in 2017.


Among the validated anecdotes is Trump's puzzlement over the public's veneration for war prisoners and soldiers who suffered severe injuries during combat. This aligns with Trump's publicly known denigration of former Vietnam POW and Republican Senator, John McCain, as well as ex-President George H. W. Bush, both of whom served as Navy pilots during different wars.


Despite attempts to obtain a statement, the Trump Campaign responded by attacking the credibility of retired Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley who was not involved in this revelation.



Kelly also confirmed details surrounding Trump's 2018 visit to France commemorating the centennial end of WWI and his disrespectful remarks about fallen US Marines buried in Paris.


In addition, his statement sheds light on an account from the title “The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021,” showcasing Trump's dismissive attitude towards wounded veterans.


The ex-chief of staff’s alarming revelations come on the back of other former Trump officials voicing their apprehensions publicly, underlining the urgency of acknowledging threats to democracy.


In conclusion, this series of confirmations and testimonies from Kelly and other ex-officials reveal a consistent pattern of disparaging attitudes from the past presidency towards those who sacrificed enormously.
