LOL! It does appear that Gen. Kelly was experiencing the opposite of unbridled joy during President Trump's remarks. Kelly seemed to be taken by surprise at the bluntness of the statement. Which is surprising given he's a retired Marine Corps General. The last to know? Come to think of it, we've not heard much from Kelly for the last several weeks. No interviews, no statements, no pressers, no questions. Hmmmm.

Kelly was forced on Trump after Preibus' exit, IIRC. Not Trump's pick.

One of the still too many establishment-class executives in the Trump Admin.

America has never been greater.

And we no longer face a threat from North Korea. President Deals said so in his June 13th tweet.

What makes you think America could win a war with China? America lost in
Vietnam. America hasn't won a war since 1945.
