Chris Whipple, Author of the New York Times best-selling book "The Gatekeepers", joins VF Hive to discuss the tension between President Trump and his Chief of Staff John Kelly. He reveals his thoughts on whether or not the White House is "broken."
If John Kelly left the White House tomorrow what would his report card say? Whipple says Kelly has failed to tell the President what not to do. That was magnified after President Trump made inappropriate comments about African countries. Whipple says the White House isn't any more effective with Kelly in power.
In fact, according to Whipple, the White House is totally broken. The only way Republicans got the tax bill passed was because they kept it 100 miles away from Trump. He can't predict who would take Kelly's spot if Trump decides to fire him, but he says being Chief of Staff is the toughest job in Washington.
