    Trump said Noem 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.”

    More like a lateral promotion than throwing her under the bus, really.

      It’s a made up committee…

      You ever watch Silicon Valley?

      This is like when Bighead gets sent to the roof. trump can’t fully fire her, because she’ll start singing.

      So she gets shuffled to a nowhere post that still has perks and money, but she just sits in a room all day. She runs out the clock, but it’s a dead end spot.
