kristi noem was a governor? (I thought she just fell off Trump's Turnip Truck onto her head after being one of his squeezes) So, now I know she actually was a governor before this

This has been a really strange week for her after Corey Lewandowski and her admitted to being lovers after trying to fire one of their pilots for leaving her blanket on the plane and then realizing they had no one to fly the plane. Strange week for two married people (to other people than each other) to admit something like this just before the news media released this to the public.

I think she is worried Trump will dump her after this because she is acting scared and nervous. However, I think he likes obedient subservient people like she is so likely he will let her stay in place no matter WHAT she does. (sort of like Pam Bondi for not apologizing to the victims of Epstein's names in the files while redacting most of the high mucky mucks. That was hard to watch someone that low and heartless.

Of course you saw what Trump did to Marjorie Taylor Greene did when he didn't like what she was saying about him. He drove her out of Congress and got her life Threatened and her children by many people so she resigned to keep herself and her family alive. But, then again that's Trump for you (Hitler Style).
