He worked to carry out Mr. Trump\u2019s agenda for nearly a year and a half. It was a tumultuous period in which he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/02\/08\/us\/politics\/kelly-trump.html\" title=\"\">drew internal criticism<\/a> over his own performance and grew disenchanted and distressed by conduct on the part of the president that he considered at times to be inappropriate and reflecting no understanding of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the interviews, Mr. Kelly expanded on his <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/03\/11\/politics\/trump-despots-advisers-sound-alarm\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">previously expressed concerns<\/a> and stressed that voters, in his view, should consider fitness and character when selecting a president, even more than a candidate\u2019s stances on the issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn many cases, I would agree with some of his policies,\u201d he said, stressing that as a former military officer he was not endorsing any candidate. \u201cBut again, it\u2019s a very dangerous thing to have the wrong person elected to high office.<em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/22\/us\/politics\/john-kelly-trump-fitness-character.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few top officials spent more time behind closed doors in the White House with President Donald J.
