President Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday after he consulted allies and advisers — all of whom told him it was time for her to go, sources tell Axios.
- "She burnt up a ton of goodwill," an adviser who spoke with Trump told Axios. "It was everywhere. It was everything."
Why it matters: Trump's firing of Noem was the biggest personnel shake-up of his second term. It showed the backlash against her was so great that Trump was willing to dismiss the nation's domestic security chief as he's launching a war abroad.
