President Donald Trump just announced Thursday afternoon that he has fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and has given her another role in the administration.
Trump has also already named Noem’s replacement: Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma.
He wasted no time.
Original Story
President Trump is preparing to fire Kristi Noem, particularly after the bipartisan combative hearing on Tuesday.
He is asking his advisors for names of replacements. He was angry over the ads that she approved with a self-promotional style.
Noem’s decision to allot $200 million for an ad campaign, featuring herself urging those living illegally in the U.S. to self-deport, had already rankled the president for months. Secretary Noem wants to run for higher office and people in the administration believe that was behind the ads.
At the hearing, Noem told senators that the president had signed off on the ad campaign—an assertion that upset Trump, who told senators and advisers he had not signed off on such a campaign.
I would hate to see her fired over the so-called bipartisan senators, but if she lied that would be cause enough. However, despite her excellence in her position, she has made a series of unforced errors, including not answering the question about whether she was having an affair with her deputy. Also a problem was not being honest about the ads that focused on her and falsely claiming that President Trump approved them or examples of her mistakes.
The reasons given for her removal are very valid. If the rumors of her affair are accurate, she became a very confused woman not fit for office. The time and energy a person puts into an affair detracts from their ability to hold high office.
If Trump does it, it is OK with you. All reasons are accepted. She did her job well, unlike Bondi, who has now dropped the autopen investigation, which I am sure you would support any reasons given.
How is it that the president fires a successful cabinet minister (Noem) while retaining two (Blondi, Patel) that have accomplished virtually nothing?
If anyone should be replaced it is Pam Bondi
Every case falls apart; James Comey, letitia Jmes and now the autopen case
No big fish are ever arrested
I must agree. I think Trump is going off the rails.

I never liked Kristi Gnome anyway. I thought she was a mistake from the start. Now if we can just include Sunshine Pam in the firing…
You are comparing someone that did her job with someone that does not.
If a comparison was in fact made (which I don’t believe it was) it was purely unintentional. All I said was that I never liked Kristi Gnome and that I wished Blondie also got fired.
