>>A kindly, brilliant BLACK man in charge of Housing and Urban Development.

Agree. An excellent choice - Carson will be a healer.

That there was funny as hell.

I know the secret to fixing the mess. Cross linking society.

I think this appointment is utterly outstanding.

Trump embraces people of all races. To him, I truly believe race is irrelevant. What matters about a person is THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE IDEALS AND HONOR OF AMERICA.

Trump, working through Carson, may destroy the Left permanently if they can begin turning around the inner cities.

This is psychological as much as anything. Seeing Carson, a brilliant, accomplished, admired black man fighting at their side every day has a chance to succeed.

Blessings.

I’m still confused.

So is Ben in or not? Some say not until Trump announces.

Trump will give it to him. He thinks Ben is his little brother.

Pray America woke

I’d say Armstrong Williams, his spokesman, is a pretty reliable source.
Earlier today Ben tweeted:
“An announcement is forthcoming about my role in helping to make America great again.”

President elect Trump saved America from Hillary Clinton a communist that would have been total destruction of the USA.

President Hillary Clinton would have flooded the USA with 3rd world immigrants, including millions of Muslim Syrians and other Muslim. FYI there are 7 billion people in the world most of them in poverty , 1.7 billion Muslims in poverty. This alone would have been the end of the USA and freedom. Plus Hillary is a hard core communist who would have imported all these 3rd world immigrants as voters for communism in the USA

http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/05/25/clinton-releases-plan-dissolve-us-border-within-100-days/

This is just 1 point that shows we should be extremely thankful Trump beat Hillary and her allies the GOPe and democrats and the media and world establishment to save America

Trump also already stopped TPP(saved U.S. sovereignty) and many companies are saying they will make things in the USA again (Apple, Ford,HP, and many others already).

Ok these are just 3 points . I know at least 100 others that show Trump saved America and will Make America Great again. He hasn't even taken office or had any power yet.

the dept. should be recombined with HHS and Education, and its name changed back to HEW.

And then, terminated.

Mr. Trump said on the campaign trail that he would “empower cities and states to seek a federal disaster designation for blighted communities in order to initiate the rebuilding of vital infrastructure, the demolition of abandoned properties and the increased presence of law enforcement.”

Trump talked a lot about revitalizing urban centers. I think Carson will be a good leader for that.

Considering what I've heard about his upbringing, I think this is a GOOD fit.

The day Trump refused to walk onto the debate stage after Ben Carson didn’t hear his call just showed the respect he has for The Good Doctor.

Whilst Jeb, Cruz and Rubio sprinted onto the stage, Mr Trump did not want Carson to feel alone and embarassed.

I didn't hear about that. What happened? Not knowing what happened, your first sentence doesn't make sense. Who didn't hear his call?
