Looks Like Trump’s Reined in Kelly, Not the Other Way Around - Daily Beast

The meme that General Kelly is a grownup has always been the product of wishful thinking.  We know that barely below the surface of even respectable Republican thought is the sense of superiority (e.g. Chuck Grassley saying that contrary to investors those who don't save spend their money on wine, women and movies).  Kelly's notorious rant when he attacked Congresswoman Wilson showed us why he fit in at the Trump White House.  His behaviour regarding Rob Portman, Hope Hicks's wife-beating boyfriend, is just the latest evidence that there may be no adults in the adult daycare center. - gwc
Looks Like Trump’s Reined in Kelly, Not the Other Way Around

John Kelly, the four-star general brought in to be father to a bumptious son who happened to be president of the United State, was not supposed to turn out like his charge.
