    Default John Kelly manipulated Trump to become friends with Kim Jong Un to prevent war

    Kelly, who served as Trump's second chief of staff, became increasingly concerned about the rhetoric publically and in private that Trump was using to taunt North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Coming into the position, Kelly was shocked to learn that Trump was completely unmoved by the chance of thousands of people dying if Kim decided to bomb something.

    "When Kelly said ‘this could destroy the economy’ he thought it was something that might appeal to Trump’s love of his own economy. Trump didn’t appreciate that," Schmidt told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace. "It was only after Kelly suggested to Trump ‘why don’t you become his friend?

    It's exactly what Trump did and it's how America was saved from going to war with North Korea over the egos of the two leaders.

    Wallace was more floored by Trump's indifference to the consequences of his actions being the deaths of thousands.

    "It's the indifference to death that I've never seen so starkly," she said. "We knew that Trump had an indifference to suffering in the spiked wall he wanted at the southern border and the nukes he wanted to shoot into Mexico. But the indifference in your telling of Kelly's efforts to educate him on the horrors and the heinous nature of war feels like an inflection point for kelly."

    All the good Korean sitcoms on Netflix are from South Korea.
    I think North Korea might be similar to how Florida has become under DeSantis.

    Trump was really stupid about nukes and why we have them. He asked why have them, if you are not going to use them? Then suggested stopping hurricanes with them. We were lucky to escape that idiot.

    I always suspected an indifference to human suffering, but this is on another level. We are so lucky to be rid of him and I hope it stays that way.

    I'll embarrassingly admit that I thought about nukes to stop hurricanes, too. I was eight or nine at the time, but I'm still embarrassed.

    Kelly said his biggest shock was how profoundly stupid and unknowledgeable trump was. He thought he was going to help a little with guiding, instead, he had to keep trump from fucking everything up.

    It was a grave mistake to ever let that man anywhere near power.

    I hope we learn a lesson.

    How does that make sense? Did you ever listen to him ? He is intelligent and knows his business. He graduated from Georgetown-Master of arts in National Security,then from National Defense Univ a master of Strategic Studies. He spent almost 50 years in the service ending as a decorated general.
    He is shit quality, Trump was the mastermind.
