Now, there were lots of reasons to fire DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, such as the mishandling ICE and calling everyone a domestic terrorist once they are murderized, but it came down to a $200 million ad campaign that she was running.
The ads featured her as “problem solver on the job,” but in truth, they were mainly just glamour poses for a presidential run in 2028.
President Trump, of course, didn’t take kindly to someone in his cabinet stealing his spotlight, so Noem was given the axe today. In her place will step loyal Trumpista Markwayne Mullin, senator from Oklahoma.
To gloss over matters, the White House tried to spin everything as a resignation and as a new opportunity for Noem as a special envoy for the so-called “Shield of the Americas” initiative on Truth Social, whatever that could possibly be.
Noem has also been suspected of an extramarital affair with her aide, Corey Lewandowski. To quell those rumors, Noem announced recently that she was having the bedroom removed from her private DHS jet. That should do the trick.
