I didn't see it as a misstep but he's fine...Trump praised Pete like 3-4 times since. As far as Noem goes, outside the media hype and blatant lies (like she was "fired") Kristi Noem simply got a better/bigger position while being praised for the job she did as Secretary of DHS. It is the appointment of a trusted ally to head a brand-new, high-priority project focused on dismantling cartels and securing the Western Hemisphere. Trump will designate it a cabinet position and she will be paid exactly the same as she was before as a level 1 (because both are level 1 positions). This is a entirely new role and he needed someone trustworthy to him to head it up....the Trump administration is just really good at killing two birds with one stone. Mullen (her replacement) will be working under her executing the security policies she creates... he will be reporting to her... as she is now the lead on the Western Hemisphere security initiative with a direct line to the President now (as it's a high priority senior position). He will report to her and she will report to the President and both will then old policy. She is no longer bound by the existing bureaucracy as she was when heading DHS. She will be working directly with Rubio, Pete, and the President etc. now. The goal is to have all agencies coordinating together in real time towards a set of goals. Think of the "Shield" as a defensive commend center and swinging the sword (being enforcement) if that helps. Even Pete will be listening to her as he is part of that defense "Shield". People laughed (as did I due to the name) but the "Donroe Doctrine" is legit a thing and this all is apart of it, 17 nations are already on board/signed under Noem and it's the reason we are currently in Ecuador, Venezuela, The Caribbean & Eastern Pacific (southern spear), El Salvador etc. etc. This is a VERY huge plate she has been tasked with far exceeding anything else (not "fired" nor a "demotion" like the media would like for people to believe), it's literally the Western Hemisphere - 17 countries on top of the U.S. in general thus far.

@Amy Aka Mame Yeah she's certainly no press secretary nor should be...ever. Karoline is very impressive at her job.

Enjoyed the write up (wild history bud, sorry you had to deal with shitters). Off that read I just made this because I wanted to accurately depict what I hear out of most "leftist" so-called "liberal progressive" fake protectors of women aka weak ass men when it comes to Iran - dealing with the Islamic Regime. Both truly make me sick tbh and nearly all are 100% disingenuous for agendas.

That's called "Winning"

@Danial Mahdavi In my belief he is proud and looking down smiling. :)

@Nariman K. You forgot actor, people always forget Trump is a actor (or does that fit into the #2 slot I don't even know anymore 😆💀). I think one of our biggest battles is getting viewers that are supporters of the cause to understand that public comments are not always directed at them (so they don't take it personally). For instance, the question was "Iran"... well who currently controls "Iran" - the Islamic Regime.... Iranians unfortunately don't control "Iran" yet. Who should take more offence to that statement, the Islamic Regime by implying they are going to lose control over "Iran" or Iranians who have yet gained control over Iran... and being helped by the U.S./Israel to have a shot at that goal... He is speaking about "Iran" which the Islamic Regime currently controls... Iranians (though have their own national pride) haven't owned "Iran" in 47+ years. He is not messing with Iranians (the very people he wants to take over "Iran"), he is messing with the Islamic Regime who currently controls it. Yes the Islamic Regime is going to lose "Iran", how much of it is currently anyone's guess. If the people/Iranians can only take it back/secure it bit by bit then yes it will be split for a while until they can get it all back. Nobody looks at North Korea being the same as South Korea, China being the same as Taiwan etc. etc. etc. etc. Iranians will have to secure ALL of "Iran" for the borders to not change. Which "Iran" one is talking about is important... the Islamic Regimes "Iran" or the peoples "Iran" which they don't have even a chunk of yet (but will very soon). Trump currently has no choice but to speak to The Islamic Republics "Iran" because that is who currently controls all of it..... after that changes we will then be able to talk about our "Iran" (the vision that just simply hasn't happened yet) and no longer about the current "Iran" that the Islamic Regime has owned for 47 years. I agree with you and Armin, our side has to stop taking highly interpretive vague words personal which makes one act a fool and lose support...rather invest ones time into positive/beneficial actions instead.
