President Donald Trump on Thursday fired his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, after mounting criticism over her leadership of the department, including the handling of the administration’s immigration crackdown and disaster response.
Trump, who said he would nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin, made the announcement on social media two days after Noem faced a grilling on Capitol Hill from GOP members as well as Democrats.
Whether or not Mullin's going to take Noem to the nearest gravel pit is probably an unfair question. So will be asking what Mullin's going to do with Noem's Flying Fuck-Pad.
Given all of the questions surrounding cozy insider deals that were mentioned in this week's hearings, in a more just administration, Noem, Lewandowski and others would be well advised to hire good criminal defense attorneys. But that won't happen until 2029, at the earliest.
But the main reason may be that Noem has managed to take the thing Trump was most popular on, immigration, and turn it into a negative issue for polling. And we all know that Trump tracks the polls almost as closely as he track the stock market.
