REPORT: Trump is considering former ICE Director who they call “John Wayne” to replace Secy Nielsen !

The word on the street is that Trump is considering replacing DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen with the former ICE Director who has been called “John Wayne” by others familiar with him:

POLITICO – President Donald Trump is considering Thomas Homan, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to succeed Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, three people familiar with the process told POLITICO.

Homan’s name has surfaced amid a flurry of media reports that Nielsen could be asked to resign before the end of the month.

Tapping Homan to run the Department of Homeland Security would almost certainly energize Trump’s base. The tough-talking lawman once recommended charging so-called sanctuary city politicians “with crimes” and has pugnaciously defended even Trump’s most controversial immigration moves, including separating children from their parents at the border.

“Trump wants John Wayne on the border and Tom Homan is John Wayne,” said a former Homeland Security official, who cited Homan’s frequent, and often fiery appearances on cable news as a part of his résumé that Trump would especially like.

If you aren’t familiar with Homan, this might jog your memory (it’s cued up to 4:20):

BOOM! I think I can see why Trump likes this guy. He punches back!

Here he is defending Trump sending troops to the border in advance of the invasion caravan:

I’m sure the left will go nuts over him if Trump picks him. But he sounds pretty good to me!
