I agree with you, this is her intent. But Trump and Steven will throw her under the bus to give the people a culprit and then keep doing everything they’ve been doing. This is why they sent Bovino home and replaced him with Homan.
Never. Or…not never, but not until it’s really worth it. Noem absorbs flak for Trump, Bovino absorbed it for Noem. Homan is just Senior Manager playing Middle Manager until they get some new idiot in there to do the job and absorb flak for both of them.
Homan knows enough to stay in DC and out of the way of televised action. He’s been an appointee for 22 years. He’s not stupid, he’s not a MAGA appointee chud, and he’s not naive. He knows the politics of his job and knows that as an Obama-era appointee, even if he looks like he slipped up, he’s out with that mark on his record to blame. He might be loyal, but he can never live down that original sin and so he goes on TV to slur his way through a Meet the Press interview and defend Trump to extend his worth one more week at a time.
You can only see it this way if you’re on the receiving end of a left-oriented headline. Your perspective is fueled by clickbait. Trump’s perspective is still mafia mentality.
Trump’s already publicly defended her on Fox News, and I can’t tell if a throwaway quote on Axios or Trump standing in a Golden Corral or whatever the fuck it is, giving an interview about how she’s “done it all” happened first - it’s a matter of hours. Point is, she is loyal AF and she is his last line of defense on everything DHS does. He needs her now more than ever and she’s survived much worse several times over already. She’s the shield he uses for everything - and he’s positioning himself that way for a long-term benefit to him. Bovnio was always disposable because he’s not in the money club. Noem is, and she’s young enough to have a career after all this if our timeline gets worse. Even if she gets impeached.
Trump can’t play Noem out until it’s worth it to him, and it’s no where near that yet. Bovino was the cost already, and no one liked him on the right anyway. Plus he flew too close to the sun, and THAT was the sin to a narcissist, to think he could play at the same level. His job was as a shield for Noem, full stop. Homan is next up until he installs the next public-facing nazi cosplayer and goes to Maine to also be the fodder for the next round. Trump hates LEOs and the military until he needs them, and so they’re the disposable ones to him.
I get what you mean, but just now Trump is distancing himself from the negative perception of the ICE murders, so it might be a bad time to point the ownership at him.
Y’all really don’t understand that this headline is tailored for you.
In Noem’s mind, this says “Kristi Noem Credits Her Actions to Trump and Stephen Miller.”
She’s running to the MAGA safehouse. This isn’t “I was following orders.” This is “I was given orders, and look at how perfectly I followed them!”
You can’t run to MAGA if you blame Trump for anything, they won’t accept it.

Agreed – they do seem to have a higher bar in 2.0 for the level of absurdity they can get away with without tossing acolytes under the bus.
Interesting about Homan, I haven’t been following for that long. Didn’t realize his history.
Ah, but she just sinned against Trump. She said something that can be interpreted as blaming Trump. That’s a big no no to a narcissist.
