Earlier, sources said Trump called Republicans asking if he should fire her.

Donald Trump on Thursday said Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin will replace Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security secretary.

Trump made the announcement on social media Thursday afternoon saying he was “pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026.”

The sources said the president was upset with a particular moment during the hearing when Republican Sen. John Kennedy questioned Noem about a taxpayer-funded $220 million ad campaign. Noem repeatedly suggested the president was aware of the campaign and signed off on it.

    And there it is. Killing Americans, violating the Constitution, lying, stealing, being a literal Nazi, none of that matters. To Trump, the only thing you can do wrong is prioritize anything over him.

    Noem should be in jail and Mullin is just a PR switch, but I find this detail most telling about where the lines remain for Trump.
