Responding to the excerpt of Noem's book, No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, Mary Trump, a staunch critic of former US president, took to X, to declare that the Noem's actions will appeal the presumptive Republican nominee.

Mary's reaction came after several Republicans slammed Noem for the excerpt.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as director of strategic communications in the White House under Trump administration, mentioned in a post on X that she is a dog lover and she is extremely “horrified” by the Noem excerpt.
“I wish I hadn't even read it. A 14-month old dog is still a puppy & can be trained. A large part of bad behavior in dogs is not having proper training from the humans responsible for them,” she wrote.
Sarah Matthews, who was Trump's White House press secretary, stated that she hasn't realised why someone would brag about such a horrific incident until “they're sick and twisted.”
Meanwhile, Noem defended herslef in a post to X and wrote, "We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years."
