12. I was indeed talking about how Trump handles them. I think he is an equal opportunity dismisser.

We'll see what happens with Kash. I think it's a stretch to say gender is likely the reason he's got his job and Noem doesn't. You describe his actions as "almost" as egregious (so, not quite as much), but moreover, he hasn't testified to congress that Trump personally approved the things he did, which has been seen as the tipping point for Noem. For Trump, in the end, it's always about, "okay, but how does this affect ME?" I don't think gender plays much into that equation. It's not like he hasn't gotten rid of tons of men, too.
