Kristi Noem might have stepped into a "trap" during her recent Senate hearing as reports suggest Donald Trump is looking to fire her, but according to some on social media, her prospective replacement could be far "worse."

On Thursday, the conservative National Review reported that Trump was "furious" with Noem over her handling of questions about a taxpayer-funded ad campaign while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, and echoed other reports that the president is potentially planning to fire her. Noem was pressed by GOP Sen. John Kennedy as to whether or not Trump approved the $220 million campaign, to which the Homeland Security secretary said that he had.

"It’s just hard for me to believe, knowing the president, as I do, that you said, ‘Mr. President, here’s some ads I’ve cut, and I’m going to spend $220 million running them,’ that he would have agreed to that,” Kennedy said.

As a result of those answers, Trump has privately begun suggesting that he is open to finally getting rid of Noem after months of controversy. Reactions to this report have emerged across social media, with senior CNN political reporter Aaron Blake suggesting that Noem fell for a trap set by Kennedy.

"John Kennedy was basically laying a bunch of traps around Noem and waiting for her to walk into one," Blake posted to X. "Judging by this report, it worked."

"Seems the questioning from Noem’s [Senate Judiciary Committee] hearing that most hurt her standing with the president came not from a Democrat but from a Republican," congressional reporter Benjamin S. Weiss added in his own post.

"It remains unclear whether Trump, known for openly floating personnel changes in private conversations with allies, will follow through on the ouster," Audrey Fahlberg, author of the report from National Review, posted to X after sharing the story. "Trump has so far resisted any high-profile Cabinet reshuffles during his second term, and insisted in early February that he had no plans to remove Noem from her post following her handing of the federal officer-involved fatal shootings in Minneapolis earlier this year."

According to National Review, Trump is reportedly considering staunch MAGA ally and Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin as a replacement for Noem at the head of DHS. According to Democratic strategist and MS NOW contributor Max Burns, this would hardly be much of an improvement.

"Firing Noem to hire Markwayne Mullin is the definition of going from bad to worse," Burns wrote in a post to X.

"Ah so it looks like Markwayne's embarrassing brown nosing may pay dividends," Daily Kos reporter Emily C. Singer wrote in her post reacting to the news.

"If you want someone who won’t say something embarrassing when they get a tough question, this is an… interesting… backup," Benjy Sarlin, senior political editor for Vox, posted in reaction to the news about Mullin.

"Oh Lord. Dumb and Dumber Part III," podcaster Reed Galen wrote in a post to X.

Kristi Noem has been gone from the Trump administration for months now, but a new report from The Daily Beast has exposed a "catastrophic" technical flub that the Department of Homeland Security made on her watch, and it could take "years" to undo the damage.

The issue first emerged in April of last year, caused by an "inadvertent" switch to a different internet provider by the Homeland Security Investigations office, the branch of ICE that handles criminal investigations. Because of this change, ICE was unable to use wiretaps to pursue suspected criminals for months, according to "information buried deep in an obscure government document" found by The Daily Beast's sister publication, PunchUp.

"The outage coincided with the number of wiretaps reported by DHS investigators collapsing by more than 80 percent under then-Homeland Security Secretary Noem, 54," the report detailed. "In admitting its mistake, DHS warned that losing wiretap capability for long periods can 'severely cripple' ongoing high-stakes criminal investigations and pose a 'direct, unquantifiable risk' to undercover agents and the public."

The issue might also ripple out from DHS, the report suggested, as the information obtained by PunchUp noted that the HSI office's surveillance systems are used to support investigations across the federal government, including at the FBI and DEA.

Speaking with PunchUp for the story, Eric Balliet, "a former Homeland Security Investigations agent who spent 25 years in federal law enforcement and used between 250 and 300 wiretaps," said he was "astonished" to hear about the error.

"I cannot fathom a federal law enforcement agency not having the capability or capacity to legally intercept communications,” Baillet said. “When you lack the ability to intercept communications — phone calls, messaging apps and texts — the criminal networks win. Fentanyl, cocaine and heroin hit the streets. People are smuggled. People die.”

He added further: "I truly cannot comprehend how a law enforcement agency could drop the ball in such a catastrophic manner... It will take years to recover from something like this. It’s laughable, but in an almost unbelievable way.”

Brandi Young, "a federal prosecutor for 16 years who handled DHS wiretap cases and is now a partner at Texas law firm Keith & Lorfing," told the outlet that a mistake like this could cause high-value cases to "stall" and potentially fall apart "forever." Baillet concurred with that assessment.

"You lose track of who is talking to whom, the devices they are using, their nicknames,” he said. "To not have that function for months is a dereliction of duty, malfeasance of what the American public expects from their law enforcement personnel.”

A now-former ambassador departed the Trump administration amid a mounting scandal, but according to President Donald Trump's one-time biographer, there was a much more personal and "fatal" issue that really led to her ouster.

Last week, reports emerged that Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump's ambassador to Greece and ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., had pressed a GOP donor to help pay off her $100,000 credit card bill. On Tuesday, after days of increasing heat, she resigned from the office after the new White House Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia, said during his first briefing that she had been asked to leave the administration.

Michael Wolff, meanwhile, claimed there was a deeper reason behind her ouster. Wolff is a longtime reporter and author known for his coverage of Trump's political career, including several books about his first term. In the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," he told co-host Joanna Coles that while Trump was "not happy" about Guilfoyle's scandals, other major factors were at play in the call to push for her resignation, namely, Trump's family.

"Kimberly Guilfoyle is a reflection of so much that goes on in Trumpworld... Donald Trump sets the model for this," Wolff explained. "It’s ‘gimme gimme gimme,’ across the board. ‘We’re using this position where we can’t believe we’ve gotten into this position where we can effectively extort money from everybody. You have to give me money.' So the question: Why are we hanging Kimberly? One of the answers there is that she’s low-hanging fruit. And the other answer is that they can’t stand her. I mean, the Trumps can’t stand her."

He added: “I think they’ve been asking this question for a long time: ‘How do we get rid of her? How did Don Jr. ever end up with her?’... Everyone is holding their nose. I feel a little bad for her, actually. I mean, this has been a desperate—her climb—a desperate, indefatigable, just clawing up... I mean, just think of how preposterous it is that she became an ambassador.”

Wolff mused about what might be next for Guilfoyle, perhaps another position in or around the Trump administration. Coles suggested that she could end up on a track similar to Kristi Noem, who was ousted as Homeland Security secretary in the spring and moved to a new role as a special envoy for Trump "Shield of the Americas" initiative.

“And Kimberly looks like Kristi Noem, so that might trigger Trump,” Coles said. “He might think, ‘Oh, we have to do what we did for Kristi for her.’”

One of President Donald Trump's newest Cabinet appointees is already facing calls to be fired, according to Axios, with his own hardline "MAGA enforcers" saying that he is "too soft" for the job.

Previously serving as a Republican senator from Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin was Trump's choice to replace Kristi Noem at the head of the Department of Homeland Security after her departure. Following on from her tumultuous and chaotic tenure, some in Washington expressed hope that Mullin would be able to lead the agency in a more even-keeled and professional manner, but now, his approach might be too subdued for the tastes of Trump's more hardcore anti-immigration supporters.

"Just [4.5] months after replacing Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary, Markwayne Mullin is feeling the heat from President Trump's MAGA enforcers," the outlet reported. "Mullin provoked border czar Tom Homan with an ICE nominee who has limited immigration experience, had to walk back changes in immigration policy, and angered the MAGA base with talk of immigration reform. Some MAGA activists see Mullin, a former U.S. senator from Oklahoma, as too soft on immigration and are already agitating for his ouster."

Mullin's conflict with Homan stems from his recent nomination of Lance Schroyer, "former Oklahoma state highway trooper and a member of Mullin's security detail," to lead ICE. Schroyer notably lacks any relevant immigration enforcement experience, "except for participating in a 287(g) agreement, a partnership that allows state and local officers to assist ICE with certain enforcement duties."

"I interviewed countless individuals, because we wanted... someone that could also be confirmed," Mullin told Fox News. "And here you have Lance that was literally right in front of me the whole time."

The nomination also drew withering criticism from Steve Bannon, the outspoken MAGA media figure and former top Trump adviser.

"ICE is an enormously complicated job," Bannon said. "And now with the heightened visibility on interior enforcement, it may be in the top three or four hardest jobs in government. You can't pick a cop from Oklahoma and think he's going to walk in and be able to do that, right? You're asking too much of somebody."

"Mullin has given Trump supporters other reasons to second-guess his decision-making at DHS," Axios added. "During a speech two weekends ago at the National Governors Association meeting in Oklahoma, Mullin suggested he backed immigration reform. MAGA's keyboard warriors saw that as Mullin supporting disguised amnesty for unauthorized immigrants, which they oppose. After fatal officer-involved shootings in Texas and Maine this summer, Mullin supported a pause on ICE agents stopping vehicles to make arrests. Trump quickly overturned the pause, with Homan's support."

Mike Howell, a former DHS attorney now heading up the Mass Deportation Coalition advocacy group, spoke about Mullin's time as DHS head, saying he "certainly hasn't given any hope to the true believers... that the [deportation] numbers will go up."

President Donald Trump has been slapping his name and face on everything he can get away with, but his ambitions are far from finished, according to a new wish list of unfulfilled ideas compiled by The Atlantic.

In a new piece published Tuesday morning, The Atlantic extensively catalogued all the ways in which Trump has shattered presidential norms by pushing for his own image to be plastered all over Washington D.C., and the U.S. at large. This drive, the report explained, seems largely rooted in his days as a publicity-obsessed real estate huckster, who "has been putting his name on buildings since before most Americans were born."

The Atlantic categorized examples three ways: those already completed, including the many banners with his face affixed to federal buildings in D.C., and the addition of his name to the Institute of Peace; those "in the works," most notably including his ongoing attempt to add his name to The Kennedy Center in some way; and finally, a "wish list" category, featuring ideas that have been suggested but not come close to fruition, for now.

"Trump — and those in his orbit looking to flatter him — will almost certainly propose more places for his name and face to appear," The Atlantic explained. "The president could grow dissatisfied with having his name on just one airport, especially one that serves fewer than 10 million people a year. Or the new football stadium coming to Washington might grab his attention. And, of course, there is his obsession with being on Mount Rushmore. Many ideas that seemed improbable when they were first introduced have since been carried out."

The most outlandish of the ideas on this wish-list is Trump's "obsession" with adding his face to Mount Rushmore, something Trump reportedly called a "dream" of his when then-congresswoman Kristi Noem first visited him in the Oval Office in 2018. During a recent trip to the landmark, cookies featuring Trump as the fifth face to the right of Abraham Lincoln were also served on Air Force One.

"Last fall, ESPN reported, Trump was telling people privately that he wants the planned new [Washington] Commanders stadium in D.C. to be named after him," the report detailed. "White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wouldn’t confirm the rumor, but she did tell the outlet, 'That would be a beautiful name.'”

Reports also suggested that Trump threatened to withhold public funds for the stadium if the team did not revert its name back to the "Washington Redskins," a name that was chastised as insensitive to Native Americans for decades.

"The airports named after John F. Kennedy (in New York), Ronald Reagan (near D.C.), and George H. W. Bush (in Houston) may be serving as inspiration," the report continued. "(Nevermind, of course, that each of those airports was renamed after each president had died or left office.) As Dulles Airport, in Northern Virginia, prepares for a major renovation, Trump has told people that he wants the international hub renamed after him, ABC News reported; there’s a bill ready to be resuscitated that would do just that."

President Donald Trump's latest addition to this Cabinet has been caught out in a new potential scandal, according to the Daily Mail, with insider sources at the Department of Homeland Security exposing his alleged effort to land his wife a job.

Markwayne Mullin was appointed as the new head of DHS following the acrimonious departure of Kristi Noem from the position. Since taking over, reports have indicated that he has impressed some within the Trump administration for his quieter and more professional style of leadership, in contrast to the showy chaos of his predecessor.

That could be about to change, however, as the Daily Mail reported on Wednesday, what could turn into a bruising nepotism scandal for the secretary, as four insiders have come forward with allegations that he has attempted to get his wife, Christie Mullin, hired at the agency — and he has reportedly been quite insistent about it.

"Mullin, 48, is accused of trying to obtain government employee status for his wife, 47, so that he does not have to pay for her airline ticket when she flies, according to sources familiar with DHS and ICE," the Mail's report detailed. "The secretary frequently travels on his $70 million government jet to fly home to his family in Oklahoma, often leaving on Thursday mornings and not returning until the following Monday afternoon, multiple DHS insiders said."

According to three of the sources who spoke to the outlet, Mullin has repeatedly floated the prospect of bringing his wife on as a Special Government Employee, a part-time consultant or temporary employee, allowing her to work a maximum of 130 days a year at a rate of $65-70 per hour.

“He pitches the idea on the regular," one of the sources said. "While Mullin is busy trying to recruit his wife to DHS, ICE facilities are being overrun by leftist mobs, enraging the base ahead of midterms.”

Another source insinuated that reports of Mullin's solid reputation at DHS might be a bit misleading, accusing him of trying to skirt his work and leaving key programs rudderless.

"Mullin seems to think DHS requires less work than a senator, and it shows," the source alleged. "Meanwhile, ICE has no direction."

"The allegations come as flight logs obtained by the Daily Mail expose a pattern of frequent, lavish travel back to his home state of Oklahoma on a $70 million private government jet - even as his department faces intense scrutiny over a terrifying security failure," the report added.

While Mullin was on hand alongside Trump at a press conference following the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, the Mail alleged that he "was already preparing to make a swift exit from the capital."

"It turns out, shortly after a briefing that left the public with no answers regarding the gunman's motive or the haunting possibility of a second shooter, Mullin fled Washington on his private jet, the Daily Mail can exclusively report," the outlet added. "The abrupt departure has raised serious questions about his leadership during one of the gravest security breaches in modern American history."

President Donald Trump had big plans for outspoken MAGA ally Kari Lake, but with those plans having thoroughly imploded, a new MS NOW analysis explained how she has been given a familiar "consolation prize."

Lake first emerged as a news anchor in Phoenix, Arizona, before making the jump to politics as an avowed supporter of Trump and the MAGA movement. Despite high hopes for her as a future star for the Republican Party, the transition largely flopped, as she lost the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial race to Democrat Katie Hobbs and the 2024 Senate race to Democrat Ruben Gallego.

With no actual electoral success to her name, Trump attempted to install her as the next director for Voice of America, the international broadcaster funded by the U.S. government, amid plans to gut the institution and reshape it into a more right-wing form with the help of One America News. This effort, too, fell flat after a judge ruled that she was ineligible to serve at the head of VOA, invalidating her tenure and reversing the mass layoffs she had overseen.

In the wake of all that failure, Trump on Monday nominated Lake to serve as the new ambassador to Jamaica, echoing an emerging pattern of the president placing close allies in key diplomatic roles.

"President Trump on Monday appointed Kari Lake, a fierce ally of the president who had led the administration’s efforts to shutter Voice of America and other federally funded news groups, as the next ambassador to Jamaica," the New York Times reported this week. "Her appointment, if confirmed by the Senate, would end her tumultuous time at the parent agency for federally funded news groups that broadcast to countries with limited press freedom, such as China, Russia and Iran."

Writing about the development on Tuesday, Steve Benen, a longtime contributor and producer for MS NOW, wrote that the appointment of Lake fit a growing pattern from the administration and its handling of MAGA allies with failed political ambitions.

"Lake’s nomination coincided with the president also tapping Pennsylvania’s Doug Mastriano — another prominent Republican election denier who launched a gubernatorial campaign that failed — to serve as U.S. ambassador to Slovakia," Benen wrote. "The far-right state senator will also need to be confirmed by the Republican-led Senate. Time will tell when and whether Lake and Mastriano receive the support they’ll need on Capitol Hill, but their nominations are emblematic of a larger pattern: The White House sure does like to hand out ambassadorships to those whose earlier political plans didn’t quite work out."

Benen further detailed the various names who received a similar parachute from Trump: Mike Waltz was named U.N. ambassador after being ousted as White House national security adviser; former GOP Rep. Billy Long went from an "incredibly short tenure" leading the IRS to serving as ambassador to Iceland; and, John Giordano went from a failed interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey to serving as the ambassador to Namibia.

"Even Kristi Noem, after her many failures as the head of the Department of Homeland Security, made the transition to a diplomatic role as 'special envoy' to the Shield of the Americas, a poorly defined security initiative for the Western Hemisphere," Benen concluded. "As an Associated Press report summarized last year, 'Diplomacy may be soft power, but in President Donald Trump’s administration, it’s also lately a soft landing.'"

President Donald Trump’s former Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, threatened national security, pointed out a former adviser to President George W. Bush on Wednesday — and that should be the focus of coverage regarding the many scandals surrounding Noem and her husband.

“The Daily Mail reports that it has reviewed hundreds of messages involving Byron and three women ...” Steve Schmidt, a former Republican strategist who consulted the last GOP president before Trump, said in his recent Substack post.

Schmidt went on to describe the litany of controversies surrounding the Noems, including Kristi Noem’s alleged affair with her unqualified adviser Corey Lewandowski and her bragging about murdering a puppy after it did not properly hunt despite inadequate training. He particularly singled out Noem spending millions in taxpayer dollars on glorified photo opportunities for herself.

“Over and over again, Kristi Noem wanted attention on herself,” Lewandowski said. “Look at the photographs. Look at the pictures. Here's Kristi Noem in the Coast Guard. Here's Kristi Noem in a fire costume. Here's Kristi Noem. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me.” Yet despite these moral offenses, as well as “signing contracts on dozens of warehouses across the country, paying five times their value, eight times their value, to turn them into concentration camps, to turn them into prisons,” Schmidt remarked that Noem now wants Americans’ prayers after her husband’s photographs leaked.

“There is no official who has abused more people, broken more laws, or engaged in more corrupt acts — besides Trump himself,” Schmidt said. And Bryon Noem, despite leaving his wife’s side when she refused to deny her alleged affair with Lewandowski, did not seem to object to his wife’s violence and murdering toward innocent people while Secretary of Homeland Security.

“The simple truth is: Kristi Noem, when American citizens were murdered, she called them terrorists,” Schmidt said, playing a clip in which she used that term.

“And you know what?” Schmidt concluded. “She doesn't deserve any sympathy. She doesn't deserve any respect. And she absolutely doesn't deserve any of our restraint. Byron Noem and Kristi Noem were up to no good.”

Despite Schmidt’s harsh take on Bryon Noem, the New York Times reported in the aftermath of the photo leak that many of his South Dakota neighbors depicted him in sympathetic terms.

“These men all knew Bryon Noem as the nice, tall insurance salesman who married Kristi Arnold, the town beauty queen who grew up to be governor,” the Times reported. “But now there were these pictures.”

The article later added, “In interviews with locals and friends of the couple before and after The Daily Mail published its pictures, the prevailing sense that emerged was this: People can’t help but feel sorry for Bryon Noem. His marriage had been the talk of the prairie since long before Tuesday.”

The reported that “one man who was in there Tuesday morning looked at the report in The Daily Mail and shook his head sorrowfully. He didn’t know what to believe about Bryon Noem. Only that he liked him.”

The individual then said, “Such a nice man. It just tears me up.”

Noem was fired as Secretary of Homeland Security last month when a senator from her own party, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), publicly criticized her for spending $220 million in taxpayer funds on self-promotional advertisements.

"It’s just hard for me to believe, knowing the president, as I do, that you said, ‘Mr. President, here’s some ads I’ve cut, and I’m going to spend $220 million running them,’ that he would have agreed to that,” Kennedy told Noem at the time. Trump later denied authorizing the ads and cited Noem’s answer to Kennedy as a reason for her termination.

Republican senators are growing increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump's defense chief, according to The Hill, "losing confidence" as the Pentagon descends into chaos.

On Monday, the outlet reported that several GOP lawmakers were privately hoping to see Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as the next major firing by Trump, citing his endless feuds with top military leaders that have seen various respected names forced out, including Navy Secretary John Phelan and Army Chief of Staff Randy George, as well as his reported conflict with the well-liked Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. Some of these senators, speaking anonymously, admitted that Hegseth would not be confirmed again if his nomination were put forward again today.

These recent issues, the outlet explained, have come on the heels of longstanding worries about his fitness for the extremely important office that he holds.

"One Republican senator who requested anonymity said there have long been questions within the Senate GOP conference over Hegseth’s lack of experience managing a large and complex bureaucracy, as well as leeriness about his unconventional and often brash leadership style," The Hill explained. "The lawmaker, however, said confidence in Hegseth has dropped among Republicans because of his battles with senior military leaders who have strong relations with policymakers on Capitol Hill."

“The hollowing out of incredible leadership at the Pentagon has been a big concern,” the anonymous senator told the outlet. “It really came to a tipping point when Gen. George was dismissed.”

Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina senator retiring from office soon, was among the few lawmakers who did not speak anonymously about their issues with Hegseth, questioning his ability to manage an agency so vast and complicated as the Pentagon, when his only past military management experience saw him in command of "30 or 40 people" at most.

"I think he’s missing the mark on personnel," Tillis said. "He has separated some of the most extraordinary generals that we’ve had in play. I don’t quite know what’s going on there."

He added: “Now he’s got an organization that’s much larger, much more complex than anything he’s done. I think he’s making some less-than-ideal personnel decisions.”

Tillis, who famously cast the "pivotal" vote to confirm Hegseth last year, said that, as of now, "there’s no question he’s got a failing grade," and noted that "in some respects he’s displaying the exact lack of experience" that caused Kristi Noem to get axed as Homeland Security secretary.

Sen. Joni Ernst, an Iowa Republican, was another name who spoke with The Hill on the record, calling George's dismissal a "mistake" and expressing bewilderment about the reasoning for it.

"I have the greatest admiration and respect for Gen. Randy George. He’s probably one of the finest officers the United States Army has ever produced. It was a mistake for Secretary Hegseth to dismiss him,” Ernst said. “As far as the reason for his dismissal, I wouldn’t even begin to know what it was."

President Donald Trump may say his recently-fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “had numerous and spectacular results,” but a pro-Trump newspaper begs to differ.

“While Mr. Trump praised Ms. Noem’s ‘spectacular results,’ there’s no mistaking this move as anything other than a fed-up President cutting loose an aide who made herself into a serious liability,” wrote The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board. They praised Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) for asking Noem about spending $220 million on television advertisements that prominently featured her, asking whether Trump previously approved these commercials. Although Noem insisted Trump had approved, Kennedy later said he had spoken to Trump and “his recollection and her recollection are different.”

According to CNN political reporter Aaron Blake, Kennedy set a trap for the increasingly-unpopular Noem that the former South Dakota governor walked right into.

"John Kennedy was basically laying a bunch of traps around Noem and waiting for her to walk into one," Blake posted to X. "Judging by this report, it worked." Congressional reporter Benjamin S. Weiss argued in his own post that it “seems the questioning from Noem’s [Senate Judiciary Committee] hearing that most hurt her standing with the president came not from a Democrat but from a Republican.”

In addition to Kennedy’s questions about her expensive advertising campaign, Noem also faced tough queries about her alleged extramarital affair with aide Corey Lewandowski, which she denied, and border agents’ killings of protester Alex Pretti and civilian Renee Good. Noem defended the killings by describing them, inaccurately, as domestic terrorists.

“The empowering of border czar Tom Homan amid the Minneapolis mess was a good step for Mr. Trump, since Mr. Homan is a professional who talks about prioritizing public safety and conducting ‘targeted’ ICE enforcement against known illegal aliens in a humane fashion,” the Journal wrote. “If Mr. Mullin is confirmed by the Senate, he can help the President by following the Homan approach and explaining it consistently without the political melodrama.”

According to an exclusive NBC News report, “the president decided to fire Noem due to 'a culmination of her many unfortunate leadership failures including the fallout in Minnesota, the ad campaign, the allegations of infidelity, the mismanagement of her staff, and her constant feuding with the heads of other agencies, including CBP and ICE.” Despite this private frustration, Trump publicly lauded Noem’s tenure.

"The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida,” Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social. “I thank Kristi for her service at 'Homeland.'"
