DHS chief says working for Trump is almost impossible task: report
By Avery Anapol - 05/25/18 08:48 AM EDT


Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has reportedly said her role in the Trump administration is "almost an impossible task" and complained that President Trump lacks understanding of immigration law, according to a report in The Washington Post.

“The president has a very rudimentary understanding of what the border is all about and how you secure it,” one former DHS staffer who worked with Nielsen told the Post. “And she’s also not one of the border fire-eaters that have his ear right now. She’s in an impossible, no-win situation.”

A DHS spokesperson told the Post that Nielsen and the president are "on the same page" and "any accusations to the contrary are simply false."

The report comes just two weeks after The New York Times reported that Nielsen was close to resigning after Trump berated her during a cabinet meeting.

2. Aww, attempts at gaining sympathy for her

Especially after some really bad press for her this week.

3. Yeah, thats why you lied the other day huh.

5. She needs to acknowledge that all 17 US Intelligence Agencies agree

that freaking Evil Empire* russia engaged in "acts of war" against the USA and for the freaking republican Casino Sharpie & Sexual Predator** who is the degenerate and ignoble republican family-values role model. She claims she did not know that. She needs to know that. And she needs to show a smidged of integrity and resign from this corrupt, russian-guided maladministration of republican liars and grifters.

6. Yet somehow has no problem lying on his behalf. nt

7. Somehow I don't have any sympathy for her

She herself is clueless -- or claims to be -- about what's happening on her watch at the border and elsewhere. Claims innocence. Is okay with the cruelty and emotional torture being levied on people who just want a better life -- or safety.
