Bob Costa: With the Rocket Man Tweet Trump Shows He’s Not Under Control of Kelly

‘This is a president who’s operating with his own instincts scrolling through Twitter’

EXCERPT:

COSTA: "And with the rocket man tweet -- and let’s remember the president is known to be a fan of Elton John, so I wasn’t surprised to see that -- that's -- that phrase used, rocket man, one of the Elton John songs, to describe Kim Jong-un. And we’re looking at a president who is not really under the control of General John Kelly, the new chief of staff. This is still a president who operates with Dan Scavino, with his own instincts scrolling through Twitter; this is how he's making decisions. It’s not always the order of process we hear about.”
