Every woman Donald Trump fired or lost from his Cabinet this year has been replaced by a man.
In just five months, four of the most senior women in the United States federal government vacated their posts: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Each departure landed for different reasons, through scandal, political friction and personal circumstance. What remained constant was what came next: a man stepped into the seat.
