Kelly will be good at bringing discipline to the staff and for national security/military matters. But the CoS has a major role of overseeing the interaction between the Oval and the Hill. In an effort to bring order to the staff he has he has over corrected. Kelly has friends on the Hill, and anyone that thinks a four-star general doesn't know how to play the political game is fooling themselves, but he doesn't have the political clout and background enough to really be a help to the legislative activities. They were already having trouble in this area, and this is only going to make that worse. This will make the administration even more ineffective.

The Master Negotiator doesn't need anyone else to help him with the Hill. Just look at all of the major legislation passed that the GOP promised  they'd pass if given a majority...

Seriously, I don't think Trump believes he needs to do anything more than tweet.
