President Trump sounds like he’s getting ready to say his two favorite words … “You’re fired!” … and the person on the receiving end this time is Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Trump is preparing to fire Noem … according to a report Thursday in The Wall Street Journal.

POTUS has been asking aides and Republicans in Congress for a list of potential replacements for Noem, according to the WSJ … and it sounds like the deciding factor here was Noem’s fiery hearing Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Noem was grilled by Senators from both sides of the aisle … including GOP Senator Thom Thillis of North Carolina, who slammed her leadership and compared American citizens killed by immigration agents in Minnesota to a dog Noem herself shot to death.

The Prez is said to be upset that during the hearing, Noem claimed he signed off on the $200 million DHS ad campaign she starred in, where she urged illegal immigrants to leave the country on their own.

Trump’s been known to vacillate … so it will be interesting to see if the ax does indeed fall on Noem.

We reached out to the White House and DHS … so far no word back.
