Thank you
@POTUS
Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas.
@SecRubio
and
@SecWar
are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren.
The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security.
We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.
Gag me! What a crock.

So I guess she'll lock up the leaders of those countries if they don't cave to Trump's demands.

When Ambassador Noem arrives at the first "Shield" meeting, I'd love to the Ambassadors from Paraguay and Uruguay.....

Funny stuff. Earlier someone said her resume included "Unlicensed Dog Euthanasia".

No need to apolgize. It's a work of (low) art, but still art. Nicely done.
