Good man.
Agreed.
Bon Chance Dr. Carson. That’s a ginormous pigsty. You’ll need hipboots for Christmas.
Yep.
Good man, but why no Surgeon General or Health and Human Services? I mean, the man is LITERALLY a brain surgeon.
Let’s build pyramids.
I am not sure that this is the best fit for Ben Carson. However I imagine that he will do okay. Better than anyone that Obama would pick.
Congratulations Mr.Carson. I like him. Good for him and good for the US.
I think HUD you are really in a position to make a difference.
But . . . but . . . Trump is a white supremacist! I heard it on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS!
Is he going to see to the dismantling of his own department?
Hell Upon Detroit.
I hope his mandate is to shut it down. All cities are in states (except for DC). Let the states deal with their own.
So far no white male appointments to any cabinet positions. Yeah what a racist sexist xenophobe (who married a foreigner)
Trump talked a lot about revitalizing urban centers. I think Carson will be a good leader for that.
Magic Ben will fix it!
Maybe he was given a choice.
[I am not sure that this is the best fit for Ben Carson.]
Agreed, I don’t think he has the creds for it. Should be in a medical area. HHS or SG or VA.
The bureaucracy down there will eat him alive.
HUD needs a militant reformer in there with specific experience in that area.
