Both Of Kristi Noem & Pam Bondi's Firings Had Staffers Running To Do One Shady Thing

Donald Trump kicked Kristi Noem to the curb less than a month before Pam Bondi got the axe. It's easy to imagine what an effect a shakeup like this may have on folks in the White House. Interestingly, though, staffers reportedly had the same prompt response to both firings. And it certainly doesn't make it seem like they were too broken up about the news.

Why I advise my friends to never take any Job too seriously!

When word got out that Noem would no longer be Homeland Security secretary, folks working at the White House were apparently quick to spruce the place up accordingly. There were upwards of 10 photos of her donning ICE attire hanging on the walls, and they were reportedly taken down. The mood after Bondi was fired wasn't too different. In the Department of Justice offices, Bondi's portrait was taken down mere hours after she was officially fired. And, to make matters even worse, the portrait ended up in a trash can. While it was widely known that Noem and Bondi were getting plenty of flak from the public during their time in the administration, it wasn't quite so clear how they were viewed among their colleagues. The response when they were fired, however, made the White House staff's opinions of them loud and clear.

News that Pam Bondi's portrait was tossed in the trash after her firing spread like wildfire on X. "Gosh they hated her that much?" one X user asked. "Damn that's crazy they don't want nothing to do with her anymore," wrote another. "Whoever did that deserves a raise," one commenter joked. This chatter is surely painful for Bondi, who reportedly pleaded with Donald Trump to keep her job. A source told the Daily Mail that when Trump broke the news to Bondi, "She was unhappy and tried to change his mind."

It's bad enough to get the boot and then get mocked online when the world finds out that your former colleagues tossed your portrait in the garbage. Yet, the situation got even worse for Bondi. Her friend, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, may have soured their friendship by gunning for Bondi's job. A source explained to New York Magazine's Intelligencer that Pirro "is very close to the president, talks to him all the time," adding that "she'd been trying to put the knife in Bondi, saying she's not a prosecutor and doesn't have control of the building." So, as if it weren't bad enough, Bondi's friend apparently helped get her pushed out of her role. Our advice? Bondi should probably call up Kristi Noem to commiserate about the sad state of affairs; she might be the only person who truly gets it.
