Ouch.

On Monday, it was reported that Donald Trump's Chief of Staff John Kelly regularly refers to Donald Trump as an "idiot."

Last night Donald Trump tried to swat down that report with tweets of solidarity:


Also, John Kelly released his own statement calling the report "total BS."

But the report is certainly nothing new. There is a long history of Trump's own close officials calling him a variety of insults and NBC News decided to put them all in one place on the air on Tuesday, with what anchor Hallie Jackson called their "insult list."

The insults cited include:

"An idiot" - John Kelly, Chief of Staff

"F***ing moron" - Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State

A "dope"...intelligence of a "kindergartener" - H.R. McMaster, National Security Advisor

Dumb as s***" - Gary Cohn, Chief Economic Advisor

"Idiot" - Reince Priebus, Chief of Staff

As Jackson noted:

"If you notice, none of them work for Donald Trump anymore except for John Kelly."

Which could lend credence to the rumor that Kelly may be leaving the White House as soon as this summer.

Meanwhile, plenty of people have picked up on the story on the president's favorite social media site, Twitter. The number of Tweets repeating the string of insults cannot sit well with Trump.

Many speculated that the stories about Kelly's insults are a deliberate ploy by other members of Trump's staff intended to get the retired general fired like several of his predecessors who also reportedly insulted Trump.

One person even went so far as to create a trivia poll about the insults allegedly hurled at the president by his own staff.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
