According to reports from The Daily Beast in April 2026, Donald Trump privately intended to “put Noem out to the glue factory” — meaning removing the puppy-slaughtering cosplayer from power — by creating a fake, nominal job for her after firing her as Secretary of Homeland Security. This move aimed to sideline her while keeping her on the payroll to prevent her from getting enough signatures for a Senate primary challenge, which had to be submitted by March 31.
Well, a tip of the hat to Trump if he decided to use the metaphor “send her to the glue factory.” I only wanted to “let her romp playfully in a farm upstate.” If I had been in Trump’s shoes, instead of creating a fake agency, I would have made her a special Ambassador to the UK, Pacific Division, with instructions to open a new satellite embassy in Adamstown, on Pitcairn’s Island, which is the only remaining British territory in the Pacific. I’d even let Lewandowski go along as her chief of staff.
This involves planning way farther ahead than Trump is capable of. I believe he made the mouth-noises, but you know this was an idea from Miller or Little Marco.
I hear you. That strategy is actually cunning.
So, yeah, not Trump’s.
You know he didn’t create it for two reasons.
1) It’s actually kind of brilliant and would have required some advance planning.
2) If he had thought of it, he would have bragged about it publicly by now, probably on April 1, when the deadline for Noem to enter the Senate race had expired.
