Too bad it's only a political casualty.

All the people Trump appointed think they are there because they are valued. They are all fall guys so Trump can protect himself from holding the bags. They are just too dumb to see that they are going to get tossed under the bus as soon as it makes sense. It happened to Noem. Get a “fell for it” award ready for Pete too because I’d be willing to bet he gets fired in the near future.

Christ, I hope it happens. Someone's metaphorical head needs to roll for this embarrassing, murderous rampage.
