Did Trump fire Noem because he was "jealous"?

That she had a large luxurious bed in her personal jet, that was far superior to his rest area on Air Force One?

He can't wait to get his new Qatari jet.

Or did she just become too much of a political liability for him?

Her performances at both Congressional hearings was too terrible for him to ignore. And she was expendable. https://www.salon.com/2026/03/06/mar-a-lago-face-couldnt-save-kristi-noem/

And he knee capped that. And he didn't fire her. Trump was told to do it.

she was going to get impeached

the orange pedo didn't want the liability.

so he assigned one of his goons to cut her loose. he didn't do it. he only fires people on tv. he's too chicken to do it in person.

but don't you worry, like all the idiots in this administration, she's not out of work. but here wardrobe budget and her mile high club mileage has been cut off.

and now she's been replaced by another grossly unqualified flunky.

give it time, he will fuck up too.

That much I do know. I expect to read about the actual reason in somebody’s book someday.

But still, she would still be there if she were male. Hegseth, the worst Sec. of Defense in history, still has his job.
