Donald Trump's Reality TV Secretary Kristi Noem

" Secretary of Homeland Security Kristie Noem flies to El Salvador for maybe the most disgusting propaganda event in political history" 

Source:David Pakman Show with a look at U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. I guess she's trying to show everyone how "fabulous" she is.

From The Economic Times: 

"Kristi Noem's latest promotional video is making waves, and not just because of its message. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem filmed a controversial advertisement inside El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) prison, warning undocumented immigrants of severe consequences. While some praised her stance, others chastised her rhetoric...

The New Democrat was talking about then Governor Kristi Noem a year ago when she was under consideration to be Donald Trump's VP nominee and that doggone (pun intended) story broke about her:

"My theory for why Kristi Noem decided to do this, is she's a much smarter politician than she seems to want anyone whose not inside of her South Dakota circle to know. I think she believes that Donald Trump is a loser, whose going down, because he's going to lose overwhelmingly with women. And even lose too many Republicans with all his legal baggage, including the fact he could be a two-time convicted felon before election day in November and that will make it too hard for him to beat President Biden in November. And she doesn't want to be part of that electoral catastrophe. And she sure as hell doesn't want to get blamed for it. But that's my theory."

I would've thought that with David Pakman's political satiric background, especially when talking about right-wingers, that he would've jumped all over Secretary Kristi Noem's independent woman of MAGA, reality TV persona here. I mean I thought he would've jumped in there like a horse who hasn't had anything to drink in a few days, would jump into a lake. But, no, he just gave us a left-wing take on how these suspected Latin American terrorists and gangbangers, are being treated by Trump Administration. 

Unless you are a hardcore leftist, who's not a fan of law enforcement to begin with, very hard to feel sorry for how these prisoners are being treated right now. And I'm saying this as someone who doesn't approve of the President's use Alien Enemies Act here. 

So as Secretary Noem filmed her little independent, straight to home video, need to stay up to 4AM (unless you record it) c-film, from El Salvador, she does that by flaunting her $60,000 Rolex watch. 

From recent reports I've been seeing, including from The Street, Kristi Noem's net worth is somewhere around a million dollars. She's 53 years old, her current salary as Secretary of Homeland Security is $246,000 a year. Could she have taken $50,000 dollars out her checking or savings account to pay for  a watch, she may only where a few times this year? Sure. But that would be the smoking gun that you would need to see that she's not a fiscal conservative and that she doesn't believe in fiscal responsibility... even with her own money. But I would want to see proof that she bought this watch with her own money and not just take someone's word on that before I believed it. 

So the question here is did she really pay for that watch herself? I mean we're talking about a middle-age woman (even though she still looks and acts like a little girl) who has a fairly modest net worth, especially compared with her fellow cabinet officials, perhaps spending $50,000 of her own money, on a Rolex, she may only wear a handful of times, even as Secretary of DHS. 

Or, it was given to Secretary Noem as a gift by someone else who does have that kind of money to spend on watches. And perhaps that person wants influence with the Trump Administration. And if that watch is a gift, she would have to report that gift to the Office of Government Ethics as an executive branch employee.

But this little film that DHS did here... that's all it was. Imagine Newsmax, or FOX putting together their own reality TV show for their MAGA audiences, this is what it would look like. People pretending to be for the common man (and perhaps just man) while they're flaunting their high-end wardrobes, living in mansions, driving foreign luxury and sports cars... their expensive lifestyles. With wannabe reality TV star Kristi Noem perhaps as the star of it. But Majorie T. Greene, Lauren Boebert, Alina Habba, Pete Hegseth, (drunk or sober) Dan Bongino, The Kasman Patel, perhaps Joe Rogan making weekly appearances on Cowboy Patriots For America. (Or whatever the hell it would be called) But that's all it would be, just another show calling itself reality TV. 

Does anyone who is currently sane, sober, and intelligent, (who isn't 1 of Pete Hegseth's drinking buddies) think this little c-film from Noem Productions, are going to to prevent Latin gangbangers and terrorists, as well as just innocent people from those countries, who are simply trying to escape the poverty and crime of those countries, from trying to come to America, legally, or illegally? Anyone want to make that bet?
