President Donald Trump didn’t just remove Kristi Noem from the Department of Homeland Security recently — he kicked her out of his private club as well, Rob Shuter reported.
Sources told Shuter that Noem no longer has a free membership at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, according to a story on the Naughty But Nice Substack on Tuesday, March 10.
“Cabinet members get certain perks while they’re in favor,” a Palm Beach insider told Shuter. “But once you’re no longer in the inner circle, those privileges disappear pretty quickly.”
That means if the former South Dakota governor, 54, wants to keep rubbing elbows with the MAGA elite, she’ll have to pay a $1 million initiation fee and annual dues of about $20,000, Shuter reported.
“Her new diplomatic title doesn’t automatically keep her on the guest list,” a source explained of Noem, who is now Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas. “If she wants back in, she’ll have to apply — and write a very big check.”
