When someone comes into Trump's orbit, one of two things happens to them. If Trump perceives them as an enemy, he slanders them, gives them an insulting nickname and lies about them. If Trump perceives them as an ally, they are slimed with Trump-goo and the encounter damages or tarnishes them irredeemably.

I don't believe that John Kelly and I have much in common but I recognize and respect his service to our country. Yet he has now allowed his own reputation to be determined by his association with Trump.
