It's personal. On one level he's clearly offended by her cosplaying "farming" but it's got to be more.

Dsc here mentioned the lack of funding for relief in western NC after Hurricane Helene. Most of the victims of that storm are Republicans and Trump won NC partly by promising to help, which he hasn't.

It might be something we don't know, too. Trump also won NC by promising the Lumbee in Robeson County federal tribal recognition, which they just got. That means they can build casinos. The Cherokee in western NC are unhappy about this. There's a lot going on behind the scenes. The GOP in NC is heavily into gambling enterprises, and I suspect that Tillis's next job will be as a lobbyist for casinos. Maybe Noem is interfering with that somehow.
