Reason he withdrew:

In the statement Bilden, a financier, cited his financial holdings as the reason, saying “After an extensive review process, I have determined that I will not be able to satisfy the Office of Government Ethics requirements without undue disruption and materially adverse divestment of my family’s private financial interests.”

You try to get high quality, successful people who would serve the country well. Unfortunately if they are successful privately they’re disqualified. Hopefully Trump can find another.
Of course it’s no problem for a Uniparty administration. Normally you end up with a lifelong swamp dweller who makes his millions when he leaves government by selling influence and collecting for favors done while in the administration.

Another L.I.F.E.R. on Silver Star Lane is too cozy with the teets of the Regime Change Investment Club.
