General John Kelly says Trump called American soldiers who died in battle "suckers."
https://thehill.com/homenews/administrat...-war-dead/
“A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them,’” Kelly told CNN in his lengthy statement about Trump. “A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’”
“A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.”
Several senior staffers told The Atlantic at the time that Trump did not want to visit the graves of the American soldiers buried at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, saying “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” The former president also referred to the 1,800 U.S. Marines killed at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

Sad!
Why do all the folks who ever work for Trump end up turning on him?

I assume that's a rhetorical question.

For you it is.
But I really would like to see FSG or Winger take a stab at it.

Let's not pretend Kelly and Trump were friendly during his time in the White House.

I assume it's because they see him for what he is: a giant steaming pile of incompetence, dishonesty, and narcissism. The bigger mystery is why a large number of people keep supporting him.

Because a large number of people like economic strength and the placing of American interests above those of the rest of the world. It's not really hard to grasp.

Usually the President and the Chief of Staff are friendly with each other.
Trump could have picked anyone for the role.

Have you ever considered the same question about Biden?

I think Trump thought they would get along, they are similar on a few things, but does anyone really think Trump and a 4 Star Marine General have much in common?

In the words of Brad Pitt as Achilles in the movie Troy, "IS THERE NO ONE ELSE???"
For God's sake, is there no one else?

No one likes Biden. Even people who voted for him.
However, many people are obsessed with Trump on a very weird level.

Lol, have you watched your team's debates? Yeah, THERE IS NO ONE ELSE.

I don't like Trump and didn't vote for him either time. But I do prefer him to the vegetable that we've got now.
I see a strong Nikki Haley surge in the works. She’s an advocate of American strength and, so far, has been able to stay above the fray of negativity and Trump bashing as her sole platform. There is no Republican candidate who is as knowledgeable on foreign relations than her.
McCarthy may be out as Speaker of the House.
