Trump called Priebus to complain about Kelly: report
By John Bowden - 02/08/18 10:06 PM EST
President Trump reportedly called former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus to complain about the job performance of his successor, John Kelly.
The New York Times (1) on Thursday cited people close to the president saying that Trump phoned several people including Priebus to complain about Kelly's performance.
The call comes as the chief of staff finds himself at the center of criticism over the White House response to allegations of domestic abuse leveled against White House staff secretary Rob Porter, who resigned this week after facing allegations from two ex-wives.

John Kelly is running the government: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/455626/john-kelly-president-chief-of-staff-runs-administration
Trump would have to find someone else to take all this power that he's attained and I don't see anyone he'd trust to do the job. The rumors about John Kelly calling Trump an idiot and the like probably grate on Trump and he doesn't like that John Kelly, not actually being the President, but holding all the delegation powers, is irreplaceable.
