President Trump announced Friday night that Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan would step down from his position.
“Kevin McAleenan has done an outstanding job as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security. We have worked well together with Border Crossings being way down," tweeted Trump, who tapped McAleenan to lead the department earlier this year.
Trump named McAleenan the department’s acting chief in April following Kirstjen Nielsen's resignation.

"Kevin now, after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector,” Trump tweeted. “Congratulations Kevin, on a job well done!”
Trump said that he will announce McAleenan’s successor next week, adding: “Many wonderful candidates!”

Funny (not really) how many of them have been recommended to President Trump by people in R jerseys that he thinks he can trust.

"... after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family...”
I wish people would stop using that line. It's a tired excuse, and nobody believes it.

Trump probably fired him after he left when people started shouting at a speach he was to give..

Sounds like Trump wanted to give him an easy out and deprive the fake news another thing to crow about.

I'm available and will do the job for $1 per year and the chance for one dance with Melania at the January 2021 Inaugural Ball...
My wife has been reminding at me for years about the fact that we haven't been to an Inaugural Ball since we attended President Reagan's first & second...
