OF COURSE Trump will "pick someone even worse" if he sh*t-cans Noem.

Report of possible Noem firing ignites fears Trump will pick someone even worse

https://www.rawstory.com/alternet-posts/trump-noem-bulwark/

On Saturday afternoon, December 6, The Bulwark's Adrian Carrasquillo reported that President Donald Trump, according to three sources, is considering replacing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

"For weeks," Carrasquillo explained, "a rumor has been circulating in political circles that Noem may soon be on the outs. It briefly surfaced in a CNN report a few weeks back that listed her first among the Cabinet officials who could be caught in a year-end turnover, noting that while Trump himself has been happy with Noem, top White House officials have grown frustrated with her tenure — specifically, her employment of her divisive and combustible chief adviser, Corey Lewandowski. Noem has downplayed any tensions or concerns. And in a text to me, Lewandowski called b------ on any talk of turnover. 'None of that is true,' he said Thursday evening."

Carrasquillo continues, "But in conversations with three former DHS officials — who served in both the Biden and Trump Administrations and are still in touch with current staff — it was made clear that Trump is indeed considering moving on from Noem."

1. It's hard to imagine a worse DHS secretary than Noem, but there's bound to be one.
