Reports: Trump May Once Again Nominate the Most Recent Person He Talked To for VA Cabinet Position

According to sources familiar with the situation, White House officials and Trump confidantes are currently discussing the possibility of moving Kelly to head the Department of Veterans Affairs. These people say that the collapse of Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson’s nomination has created an opening for Trump to slide Kelly into the role. It would give Kelly a soft landing, while also having the benefit of putting a qualified official in charge of the sprawling department.

Ronny Jackson was nominated shortly after having conducted Trump’s physical. John Kelly’s job is basically to follow Trump around so he can snatch printed-out conspiracy-site articles about how Hillary invented AIDS out of his hands before he tweets about them. Does Donald Trump realize that he can nominate people to the Cabinet who weren’t just standing in front of him?

A White House spokesperson denied that Kelly was being considered for VA secretary, according to Vanity Fair.

Rumors surrounding Kelly's fate have intensified lately. And his role in the White House seemed to shrink as Trump reportedly takes more license to govern his own daily agenda.

Outside advisers to Trump have floated the idea of removing the chief of staff role completely, according to CNN.
