John Kelly is not the first White House Chief of Staff who felt the world would go to hell if he was not controlling the actions of the President. HR. Haldeman is known to have restrained most of President Nixons' worst impulses. Unfortunately, he could not restrain all of them and the coverup with Watergate resulted. Donald Regan thought that President Reagan had deteriorated to the point that after he was unceremoniously fired from the White House, warned that the 25th Amendment would have to be invoked. The power of being Chief of Staff reportedly went to the heads of John Sununu and Richard Daley when they served Presidents Bush 41 and Obama. So Kelly is not unique.
What is unique is the number of people, ON THE TRUMP TEAM, who have openly questioned the mental abilities of the President. Usually, these sentiments are expressed publicly when someone has retired and drafted their best selling memoirs. In this administration, we have leading figures calling the President " a moron" and "an idiot" while still working for him. That these revelations are finding their way to the public ear is another indicator that the Executive Branch lacks discipline and needs to get its act together. It does not inspire confidence when these idiots can not even present the facade of competence.
