I do think that NOEM embarrassing Trump and hurting his big EGO played a large role in Trump getting rid of her.

🚨 Trump is preparing to fire Kristi Noem.
Let’s review what she did wrong:

She called dead Americans domestic terrorists. ✓

She spent $220 million on vanity ads. ✓

She awarded $143 million to a ghost company. ✓

She lied under oath about court orders, detained citizens, and Lewandowski’s role. ✓

She couldn’t deny an affair with her chief of staff in a congressional hearing. ✓

None of that got her fired.

She testified that Trump personally approved the $220 million ad campaign.

That got her fired.

In this administration you can lie to Congress, violate court orders, and detain American citizens.

Just don’t put the boss in the frame.

2. Article from March 2025 where she said that Trump asked for those ads.

Which, BTW, totally tracks with everything we know about Trump.

Any delay in providing these critical communications to the public will increase the spread of misinformation, the document says.

Noem shared the story behind the ad campaign at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month. She said she had suggested conducting more news conferences to keep the public posted on its immigration actions, but Trump asked for those ads to make sure the American people know the truth of what you’re doing.

But he said, “I want the first ad, I want you to thank me. I want you to thank me for closing the border”. I said, “Yes, sir. I will thank you for closing the border.”

6. +1, Trump lied, as usual

[ScratchCat]

3. Every reporter who sticks a mic in front of Trump has to ask the following

"Since you claim you didn't personally authorize the ad campaign, and Noem testified under oath that you did, should she be charged with perjury?"

Go ahead, ask him.

(Nobody will)

7. Hah.

Are there any reporters "allowed" near him that would ask any sort of real question?

4. What got her fired was being a sloppy grifter and then

she committed the mortal sin of not cutting him in on the grift.

5. only so many people who will even work for him

gotta be hard to pick from all the top quality choices.
