If the Democrats could successfully impeach her they could successfully impeach Trump himself - and would have done so before now. They don't have the numbers.
The only worry would be Republican turncoats joining them out of fear. There is no more timid a creature than a Washington Republican. They make fainting goats seem positively bold.

I'm very happy to see that Mr. Trump is being supportive of Secretary Noem at this time. Naturally, the Donkeys will try to get him to can her, and do anything else possible to weaken his support for her. He's sent Tom Homan in to help strengthen his side but he's not indicated that this indicates a lack of support for Ms. Noem. Good! Trump knows how to play the game in order to keep the Donkeys on the losing side!

Yep. Going after Noem is an old game to the Democrats. This is what they did to Richard Nixon if you remember; they went after his people one by one and each time Nixon lost one of them he became weaker. They tried to do it to Reagan too with far less effectiveness, and to the two Bush's.
As you say Trump is cut from a different cloth. He's not going to be frightened into sacking his people.
