Why did Trump fire Carla Hayden, the celebrated Librarian of Congress?

There was no good reason for the president to fire Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress. So why in the world did Trump do this?

President Donald Trump fired the Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, on Thursday, according to a copy of her termination email obtained by NBC News. In the email sent to Hayden, Trent Morse, the deputy director of presidential personnel, wrote: “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately.”
