There have been loads of rumors about his coming departure. Let’s face it. If there was ever an “appropriate” time to leave, it’d be after reaching the almighty one-year mark.

But is he REALLY on his way out? I don’t know, but I DO know that President Trump has asked him to remain with him, at least through 2020.

From @johnrobertsFox — MULTIPLE SOURCES TELL FOX NEWS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ASKED JOHN KELLY TO STAY ON AS CHIEF OF STAFF THROUGH 2020.. after all the stories about this.. this seems pretty definitive.

And it sounds like he will.

Just confirmed WSJ scoop that John Kelly told White House staff that he will be staying on as chief of staff through the 2020 reelection, according to a WH official.

So there you have it.

I can’t help but think about how much this dispels the rumors that Kelly is secretly a miserable person who hates Trump. If that were the case, wouldn’t he bounce? Why would he commit to another few years?
