I'm sure you are right about that.  Kelly would not have been foolish enough to take this job without establishing some ground rules that would enable him to function.   The problem, as I see it, is that Trump is inherently undisciplined and so self-assured that he hasn't taken the advice of his advisors before...he undercuts them & impulsively changes direction leaving them to make explanations for him.

It's extremely ironic, but I feel better knowing there is a highly trained military man serving as Chief of Staff right now.   I am really fearful about the immediate risks with North Korea and have absolutely no confidence in Trump's judgement.   Kelly, and men like him, may be the last and most important check on Trump's behavior when a true crisis erupts.
