Trump Welcomes Kristi Noem Back Into Fold Post-Puppy Killing Scandal



It turns out killing your puppy—and admitting to it unprompted—isn’t total political suicide.

(snip)

Kristi Noem will headline a town hall organized by Donald Trump’s team this weekend, marking her first notable appearance on the campaign trail since she detailed how she killed her 14-month-old wirehair pointer, Cricket.

(snip)

Noem largely fell out of the political limelight in May after excerpts of her second autobiography, No Going Back, went viral and were widely scrutinized. She wrote that she killed her puppy, Cricket, after he had a rough go at pheasant hunting and killed some chickens in the same day.

Noem wrote that she “hated that dog” and that it was “less than worthless,” so she shot him dead in a gravel pit.

(snip)

The self-induced scandal—along with a blatant lie that she’d met Kim Jong Un, which was also in her book—killed all momentum Noem was gaining in Trump’s veepstakes, which ultimately ended with JD Vance being chosen.

*rump has always been about projection I'm almost convinced he wouldn't even know that killing and/or eating a dog or cat would be repulsive or extremely unpopular had it not been for Noem's experience earlier this year.

He wants Noem in his government even if it can't be as his VP running mate so punching down and slandering Haitian immigrants as pet killers and eaters while pretending to give a shit about dogs, cats or the people that care for them in his mind will make Noem more acceptable to the public.

The same MO holds true regarding his lack of feeling for the victims of 9/11, *rump "now had the tallest tower," "but he saw thousands of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the attacks."

Always playing from the same marked deck.



I called the rehab of Noem a few days ago.
