Donald Trump attacked his former White House chief of staff John Kelly saying that he “fired him like a dog.”
Said Trump: “He was incapable of doing a good job, it was too much for him, and I couldn’t stand the guy. He had no heart or respect for people, so I hit him hard — Made no difference to me.”
Trump continued in a second post, calling Kelly a “lowlife.”
