Trump lashed out at his Cabinet, and Nielsen in particular, when told that the number of people arrested for illegally crossing the Mexico border topped 50,000 for the second consecutive month. The blowup lasted more than 30 minutes, according to a person with knowledge of what transpired, as Trump’s face reddened and he raised his voice, saying Nielsen needed to “close down” the border.

“Why don’t you have solutions? How is this still happening?” he said, adding later, “We need to shut it down. We’re closed.” [Emphasis added]
Appoint a proven tough guy. Andy Puzder. He's got the style, the knowledge, the management experience, the logistics knowledge, the business knowledge to know all the schemes and scams, he's got it all. He adores you, he will be loyal to you, he is results-oriented, from an industry that functions on time and motion studies, he's extremely articulate, and he's a fighter. I don't know if he'd do it, but you're a long way down the line now so it will be much easier to get him through Senate now than before. You can not allow these illegal immigration illiterates like Kelly and Nielsen to remain in your administration, get these WEAK WEAK WEAK inarticulate people out of your administration.
