That's just Nikki's puffery, Jim. She showed her 'loyalty' to Trump by telling you what Kelly and Tillerson thought. You wouldn't have known they thought so poorly of Trump if she hadn't told you.
She knew what she was doing.
Let's say, Nikki confirmed and reinforced what we
already knew (article published on 09/04/2018), even if the Trumpletons don't:
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader,” according to accounts of Woodward’s book that were published by The Washington Post.
White House chief of staff John Kelly called Trump “an idiot” and said he thought the president was “unhinged,” The Post also reported. NBC News first reported in May that Kelly had referred to the president as an idiot multiple times, in addition to making several remarks “insulting the president’s intelligence and casting himself as the savior of the country.” Kelly has denied that he ever called Trump an idiot.
Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in July 2017 called Trump a “moron,” NBC News reported. The comments came after Tillerson had a meeting at the Pentagon with members of the White House national security team and Cabinet officials.
At a dinner in July 2017, McMaster mocked Trump, also calling him an “idiot,” BuzzFeed News reported. At the dinner, which was with Oracle CEO Safra Catz, McMaster also said Trump was a “dope” with the intelligence of a “kindergartner,” according to that report.
Nikki does know it takes repetition for the propaganda to sink in.
