President Trump has fired Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. According to Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich, who spoke with officials close to the president, the decision came from a “combination of her many unfortunate leadership failures.” Three key factors led to her removal.
The most significant factor was Noem’s $200 million advertising campaign focused on border security. According to Mediaite, the campaign featured Noem prominently on horseback at Mount Rushmore. Noem told Congress that President Trump had approved the expensive campaign, but that was not how Trump saw it.
