When Kristi Noem met with Trumpedo to make her case for the number two spot on the ticket, her lover Corey Lewandowski tagged along. Her having a husband and a lover made candidate Trumpedo pause. I mean, what, would the vice president have a Second Gentleman and a Second Lover? Who would sleep where?
Didn't matter in the end:
In February 2024, Noem met with Trump to make her case to join the ticket. She was accompanied by Lewandowski, who came prepared with polling data showing how popular she was in midwestern swing states, according to the book Revenge, by the journalist Alex Isenstadt. But there were obstacles to her getting the job — the foremost being Lewandowski himself. People close to Trump worried about their alleged romantic involvement, Isenstadt wrote. Trump’s advisers had witnessed Lewandowski slapping Noem on the butt, and Trump would slyly refer to Noem as Lewandowski’s “girlfriend.” Noem’s chances at securing the No. 2 spot were ultimately buried by the publication of her second memoir, No Going Back, in which she told the unfortunate story of shooting a disobedient puppy named Cricket on the family farm. “That’s not good at all,” Trump told his son Don Jr., according to Revenge. “Even you wouldn’t kill a dog, and you kill everything.”
“You kill everything.” What a proud Dad he must be.
Since Trumpedo hates dogs, you might have thought that would have given her a leg up, so to speak. Ah well, she got the cabinet post that let's her cosplay the most, anyway.
