Donald Trump is being called out for seemingly mostly firing female staffers in his administration despite male employees also causing drama.
The accusations came via social media after he announced on Thursday, April 2, that former Attorney General Pam Bondi would be removed from her position. Just a few weeks earlier, he axed Kristin Noem from leading the Department of Homeland Security.
'Only the Women Get Fired'
Donald Trump was accused of misogyny, as he has a pattern of firing female staffers.
After Bondi's firing, one person wrote on X, "Bondi was awful, but no worse than [Kash] Patel. Noem was terrible, but no worse than [Pete] Hegseth. Funny that it’s only the women who get fired."
His comment received over 50,000 "likes," with one individual replying, "That’s a good point & goes along with the misogyny we see in this president & his administration."
Pam Bondi was booted from her job on Thursday, April 2.
"Trust me, I am no fan of Noem, [Tulsi] Gabbard or Bondi, but I do find it notable that of the cabinet members Trump has fired or is reportedly considering firing, all three are women," a third social media user commented. "How about Hegseth? [Robert F.] Kennedy Jr. can't even find a CDC Director to match with his craziness. Patel is a laughing stock, and so on. Why aren't they being fired?"
(Gabbard hasn't been fired but rumors have swirled Trump may also give her the boot.)
"The theme is clear… he doesn’t see/treat/respect women in any way…" a fourth person declared.

Donald Trump Called Pam Bondi a 'Loyal Friend'
Pam Bondi gushed she was 'honored' to work with the president.
As OK! reported, Bondi was let go after heavy criticism over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
"Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year," the president wrote in a Truth Social post. "We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future."
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is taking over the spot until a new hiring is made.
Kristin Noem was fired from her Department of Homeland Security role in March.
Bondi didn't publicly lash out at the firing, instead gushing over her time in the position.
"Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration," she penned on social media, calling it the "honor of a lifetime" to work with Trump.
Noem was fired in early March, with the POTUS saying she "served us well" in the DHS. Noem was subjected to constant ridicule over her aggressive ICE deportation campaign, which resulted in at least two American deaths.
