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.

    To be clear, inbred poster boy, Markwayne Mullin, will almost certainly be worse than Noem. Mullin tried to physically fight someone during an official proceeding until Bernie Sanders yelled at him to sit down and behave like a member of Congress.

    Mullin tried ripping the “Black People Are Not Apes” sign out of Al Green’s hand during the State of the Union.

    There are pictures of Mullin cowering in fear during Jan 6, after helping incite it. There are pictures of Mullin standing on a box behind a podium to match the height of his debate opponent.

    He is an inbred and a coward with a chip on his shoulder. Expect more Constitutional violations.
