President Trump has decided to remove Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and her departure from the administration is likely to occur in the coming weeks, if not sooner, according to five current and former White House officials.

Trump canceled a planned trip with Nielsen this week to visit U.S. troops at the border in South Texas and told aides over the weekend he wants her out as soon as possible, these officials said. The president has grumbled for months about what he views as Nielsen’s lackluster performance on immigration enforcement and is believed to be looking for a replacement who will implement his policy ideas with more alacrity.

The announcement could come as soon as this week, three of these officials said.

Maybe it was Kelly and someone else who were rumored to have exchanged words.

We’ll know Trump has been co-opted when he names ¿Jeb? as head of DHS.

Might as well name Hillary to be both head of the Secret Service *and* Speaker of the House.

I am beginning to suspect Trump got rolled by the GOP-e beyond the possibility of recovery.

Who replaces her?

Hopefully not a senator or a house member. Don’t want to lose members of congress that way.

I just think that as we have pulled out all the stops, putting Trump up as leader, so have they. Which came first? They, probably

Anyone who tries to step in will be taken out whether by threats to their good repute- lies-, by threats of blackmail which is credible, or bodily harm to their families

Anyone right now who isn’t doing a good job is just a placeholder. Like Nielsen Pence is good. Mattis, kelly. But whom can trump trust? Who can withstand the anti Kavanaugh treatment.? Or the anti tucker Carlson mob? Right away Cruz was back to yammering today about the grilling mueller probe how it has to be allowed to continue.

Who will work for trump?

He is, but he can drop that role and take the DHS job if offered.

Way overdue. She is as worthless as John Kelly. Both are bush globalist moderates, not trumpers.

I called for her firing on the day after the election for her bizarre claim that the midterms were going to be the ‘most secure election, ever’.

Pushawww.....yeah, right.

Well, bye Kirstin.
