Trump 'not happy with' Kristi Noem and mulling short list of replacements: report

Source: Independent

President Donald Trump is “not happy” with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and is mulling a short list of replacements, according to a report.

The president is said to be “frustrated” over testimony Noem gave this week before the House and Senate committees, which one GOP senator described to NBC News as “water boiling over the edge of the pot.”

Trump has not made a final decision on Noem, according to the outlet, but has been speaking with Republicans this week “about his displeasure” as he considers potential replacements.

The ONLY 'qualification' that matters to tRump is unfettered loyalty to tRump, and of course he'll never reciprocate that loyalty.

give Trump his cut.

He also realizes that her ads, in addition to serving as a vehicle for a massive heist, were also designed to get her top ballot spot in 2028, which Trump still believes will be him.

So, she robbed from him (by robbing the Treasury without letting him wet his beak), and then had pretentions to take his place, with Corey as First Schtupper and Campaign Chair.
