In an interview Monday on The Steve Malzberg Show, former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson announced that he would be serving in an “advisory capacity” in a Trump administration.
“Now, I do believe, certainly in my discussions with Donald Trump, he does love America and he does want to be successful,” Carson said. “And he will surround himself with very good people.”
As it turns out, the retired neurosurgeon revealed, he would be one of those “very good people” working alongside the billionaire front-runner should Trump win the general election.
He confirmed that he would be “doing things” within a Trump administration, elaborating only that he would be serving “in an advisory capacity.”
“That has been determined?” Malzberg asked. “When you sat down with him, that was discussed?”
Carson confirmed that he discussed the issue broadly with Trump, though he shied away from revealing any specifics.
“Well, we haven’t hammered out all the details,” he said. “It is very important that we work together in this country.”
Pressed to reveal whether he would hold a position in Trump’s cabinet, Carson reiterated that he would not “reveal any details about it right now because all of it is still very liquid.”

I would like to see all these candidates in the Cabinet and prominent positions. Just not as prez. Carson’s an awesome man - Surgeon General? VA Administration?
Well duh, you didn’t actually believe his endorsement was going to come pro bono
Why else would Carson endorse Trump despite the intense personal attacks by Trump, even comparing him to a child molester. Kissing up to Trump so he can get a position, that was pretty obvious.
Would make a great attorney general and could provide valuable insight into replacing Obamacare with something that benefits consumers.
Yup, reform MediCaid and conduct the “Marshall Plan” on the public policy for medical isurers...I also like the sound of head of the CDC.
(he could probably do all of that)
Put him in charge of the sturgeons.
Sorry, I meant #45 for you, not myself.
I knew he was bought off!!!
Ben is a good guy. I got no problem with this. He just wasn’t Alpha Dog material to sit in the big chair.
I hope he does run for Rubio’s seat here.
I would gladly vote for him.
You buy the garbage Cruz is selling and knock literally one of the finest men to grace this country.
You were definitely absent the day God passed out character assessment.
>>Trump will be gone in four or eight. I don’t want him to be Bushwhacked like Reagan was.
Exactly. I really hope he thinks LONG TERM, and can avoid having a Bush-like VP. The RNC foisted Bush on Reagan, and we all suffered for it.
I am hoping he knows someone young and energetic, laser sharp smart, and grounded in conservative principles, who will learn much from DJT and carry on for another 8. What a beautiful gift that would leave for our children and grandchildren.
Seriously? LOL
Oh, Ben, you don’t pay before you play.
You might end up with the job of cleaning erasers.
Trump mentioned this the day Carson endorsed him.
That was my response as well. No one is paying attention I guess.
Either Christie or Giuliani would be a kickass AG.
That’s my thinking...
He may do a very good job in some capacity.
Four more years would give us time to see if he could fulfill any of the promises he has made , before considering him for President.
If Trump becomes President, it will be very interesting to see how our ‘politicians’ behave.
