Trump: Acting Homeland Security Secretary McAleenan Stepping Down

Newsmax:

President Donald Trump said on Friday that acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan was stepping down and a new acting chief of the agency would be named next week.

McAleenan became the fourth person to lead the agency under Trump in April after the Republican president asked for the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Before becoming acting secretary, McAleenan served as commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, one of the agencies operating under the Department of Homeland Security.

“Kevin now, after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector,” Trump said on Twitter.

“I will be announcing the new Acting Secretary next week. Many wonderful candidates,” he said.

According to The Washington Post, McAleenan was frustrated with Trump’s appointments to senior immigration roles, and with his own standing in the administration. He was never formally nominated for the job.

“What I don’t have control over is the tone, the message, the public face and approach of the department in an increasingly polarized time,” McAleenan said in an interview with the Post. “That’s uncomfortable, as the accountable, senior figure.” more here

  2. There’s way too much turnover in the Trump administration.

    I don’t know why he can’t find stable people, but it doesn’t work in his favor to have this much turnover in high positions.

  3. Too much turnover?
    What better way to clear the bench than to send them out one by one and see they can’t do the job. (Reason to relieve from position)
    Probably the best way to shit-can the Obama holdovers quietly.

    I love this president.
