Donald Trump’s new homeland security secretary has got trust issues and it’s surely the most devastating self-own you’ll see
We weren’t overly familiar with the work of Donald Trump’s new homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, but now we can’t stop thinking about her.
It was Noem in conversation with CNN’s Dana Bash when the important issue of trust in the government came up, what with Elon Musk rampaging around the White House as we speak and all that.
And what happened next was surely the most devastating self-own you’ll see.
BASH: I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data
NOEM: Well, we can’t trust the government anymore
BASH: You are the government pic.twitter.com/xRh4Q3VINk

A little self-awareness might go a long way here, @GovChristiNoem. You are the government. Make it make sense!

She is essentially saying “we can’t trust ourselves,” and/or “you can’t trust us.”
Either way, it reflects horribly on this administration.
