Trump Considering Move to Oust Homeland Security Kristi Noem: Report

Source: MEDIAite

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a move
to get rid of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
and potentially replace her with a soon-to-be former governor.

According to the Bulwark, two unnamed former DHS officials
who served under both Biden and Trump administrations
and are still plugged in with current staff say "Trump is indeed
considering moving on from Noem" - potentially "really soon."
A third ex-DHS official who also served under Biden and Trump
did describe the situation as "fluid."

You don’t want get aligned with this Clustertrump especially not as the face of kidnappings. You’ve manage to actually run (a very good campaign) and win as a Republican in the time of Trump while not getting tied to him. Don’t do it Glen.


But a big-name Republican could soon be waiting in the wings. Term-limited Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has reportedly been floated as a replacement after he leaves office in mid-January. CNN previously reported Youngkin “expressed more interest in an economic or business portfolio, rather than one focused on immigration” but would still be “excited by the prospect” of any Cabinet post.

Youngkin is a smarmy little twat that needs to have his ass handed to him. He'd fit right in with this administration. He's a "yes man" and would eagerly replace Noem if it keeps him in the spotlight.

as I once heard Larry Sabato once say. Big law firms in NoVa, Roanoke, Richmond, Norfolk hire them as lobbyists. I don’t know the going rate now but Allen-Wilder-Gilmore era was $500k or so.

I know Youngkin is looking at Warner in 2026 and possibly on the national ticket but he really does bring anything. He ran a fantastic campaign especially the VA GOP ranked choice voting in the primary and, as I said, not really touching Trump. He won Virginia due to his good campaign and MacAuliffe’s horrible one. He won by 63,688 votes out of 3.3 M votes - less than 2%.

He’s rich. This is not a good idea for him.

It would be nice to get rid of ICE Barbie, but whoever replaces her will have to do all the same shitty things she's been doing. If Noem is sacked it would be only because she attracts unfavorable attention with her cosplaying, not because she's a heartless, sadistic monster. Younkin (or anyone else) probably wouldn't look like as much of an ass as Noem, but he'd still have to toe Trump's party line and be just as evil.

Although Newsom is in the news lately. A famous psychic who has correctly predicted a bunch of elections said that Newsome would be our next president after beating out Vance. That made me do a side step, wondering if Vance was running because he had already replaced Trump before the election or whether Trump chose not to run again.

Glad to see that thieving, lying, smug ass, arrogant, evil as fuck DUNK to be gone. She needs to be prosecuted and in prison. Maybe chained to a horizontal 50 gallon drum year round like some of these bear and coon hunters here do in the mountains to their dogs.
She is a women, what the fuck did she think HaugueSeth, Miller and Trump would do with her in power of a “Manly” army of thug ass pigs.

He’s getting much worse press than Knome.
And he’s in a more critical position which he can do more damage to our country with his poor judgement.

He thinks Youngkin will help repair his extremely low popularity in Virginia.

https://cardinalnews.org/2025/12/05/roanoke-college-poll-trump-is-much-more-unpopular-in-virginia-than-during-his-first-term/

He's concerned the republicans could lose 2-3 House seats in Virginia in the 2026 election. Right now the Democrats have a 6-5 edge, but at least 3 republican seats are vulnerable, having won their seats by less than 10%.
He hopes putting former governor Youngkin in a high visibility position may help keep those seats. Also, Noem is getting too much bad publicity for his immigration roundup.

Going on raids and treating it like a Hollywood Production. On top of that, she is probably the one whispering in his ear about "crime" in cities that simply doesn't exist, making him to demand that there is which makes him look stupid. Plus the ICE raids are always haphazard with little coordination or planning. Just go out and grab someone. Doesn't make for good headlines for him.

After she is gone, Hogshit will be next.
