Former White House Chief of Staff, John F. Kelly, in a revelation, confirmed the long-standing allegations regarding Donald Trump‘s derogatory remarks about veterans and war-wounded individuals.
Kelly, who served under Trump, shared this information with CNN’s Jake Tapper. This is the first time such comments have been confirmed by a key player, reported The Washington Post.

Kelly’s statement referred to Trump’s past comments about veterans, including his public doubt over late Sen. John McCain’s war-hero status during the 2016 campaign. He also confirmed Trump’s alleged derogatory comments about the Marines who died at Belleau Wood during World War I, and remarks made at the grave of Kelly’s own son, who was killed in Afghanistan.
The Trump campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, refuted Kelly’s statements, claiming that these are debunked stories fabricated by Kelly due to his poor performance as chief of staff.
Kelly’s disclosure adds to the growing list of former top aides warning against another Trump term, effectively labeling Trump as a potential threat.
