    Just ask Marjorie Taylor Greene, who, after falling out with the president, fled the House and is now devoting herself to viciously critiquing his Iran policy.

    Maybe Ms. Noem should consider a similar route, using her newfound freedom to tell the public how she really feels about what she was asked to do and defend in Mr. Trump’s name. She might even claw back some of that self-worth she gave up along the way.

    There’s no way that ever happens.

      Especially since she still has a job with the administration. They created a new position just for her: “Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas.” We’ll see what that ends up being, but I predict nothing good.

      Reassignment from head of a Cabinet department to head of a nonexistent “security” initiative, for example. She was fired from the first job and massively demoted. This is the equivalent of a corporate VP being moved from a position of direct line responsibility to “special projects,” which is a euphemism for being given time to update their resume before being ejected. Noem is on the off-ramp.
