Fact Checks (2)

"General John Kelly is doing a fantastic job as Chief of Staff"

Unverifiable

Kelly had been Chief of Staff for less than a month (appointed July 31). Too early for meaningful performance assessment, though early reports suggested he was imposing more structure.

"There is tremendous spirit and talent in the W.H."

Mostly False

This period saw multiple high-profile departures (Bannon, Gorka, Scaramucci) and widespread reporting of low morale and internal conflict following Charlottesville.
