Trump fires Kristi Noem

Donald Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem yesterday. According to Axios, “Trump’s firing of Noem was the biggest personnel shake-up of his second term. It showed the backlash against her was so great that Trump was willing to dismiss the nation’s domestic security chief as he’s launching a war abroad.” Noem will be succeeded at the end of the month by Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
