CE Barbie has made her soft landing.
Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem debuted in her newly-created role as special envoy for “Shield of the Americas,” as President Trump announced the initiative in Florida Saturday.
Trump fired Noem as DHS chief on Thursday after a series of flubs that included claiming in a House hearing the president approved $220 million in TV ads starring herself — and her stunning non-answer about whether she had “sexual relations” with top aide Corey Lewandowski.
The 54-year-old former governor of South Dakota, who earned the nickname ICE Barbie for her perfectly coiffed hair and makeup during her highly publicized immigration enforcement photo ops, sat in the front row alongside War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Trump gathered a dozen allied Latin American leaders in his golf resort outside Miami to announce the newly formed US-led coalition of conservative Latin American governments aimed at fighting cartels and countering Chinese influence in the hemisphere.
“We have to eradicate them. We have to knock the hell out of them,” he said.
Noem did not speak during the announcement, with Trump handing the microphone to Rubio, and then Hegseth after his remarks. The president indicated the initiative would operate under Rubio’s supervision, meaning Noem would be working under him.
“I want to thank Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his leadership in organizing this really important stuff. He’s fantastic,” Trump commented.

DHS secretary gave Noem lots of name recognition, but a presidential candidate needs foreign policy experience which the new position provides.
The GOP has a deep bench for presidential candidates, which cannot be said for the opposition party.
so she has been demoted but not fired, despite numerous apparent (but evidently not career-wise fatal) imbroglios...
Did she bring her blankie?
She was far more attractive before she started the cosmetic surgery clown show on her face.
Is Corey still carrying her blankee?
See post 8!
Kristi Noem makes her debut as special envoy for ‘Shield of the Americas’. Didn’t even let her talk...spec-ops.
I predict the confirmation hearing will be a circus.
“”The real story will be when Trump nominates her replacement at DHS.””
That’s already happened - confirmation still to come....
That said, DHS is a huge (and vitally important) operation, and it needs a skipper with more of a 360 degree command as opposed to a hyper focus priority.
Re-assignments aren't necessarily firings or demotions as they can be finding a better fit for one's strong points.
Hang in there Ms. Noem. You've served well in critical areas, and can take pride in that.
Does it come with a special costume? Like wonder woman maybe? A ridiculous title should come with a ridiculous uniform.
written by a catty, envious female ...
She’s a two-face.
I did not recognize her .
Those over blown Kardasha hoe porn star fish lips , bad move .
