Yes, but Trump will be too busy. Carson is too sweet a person for this job.
Dr. Carson had the balls to criticize Barack Obama to his face at the National Prayer Breakfast at a time when NOBODY dared do that. So he may be ‘sweet’ but he isn’t timid.
And appointing someone to a position that has actual knowledge of the situation makes a lot more sense than someone who led an upper class existence their entire lives.
Carson is not “sweet,” however he is a quiet man who has watched the current administration continue the destruction of our nation, and has been enraged by that.
Never mistake quietness for weakness. As hirn_man noted in his post, Carson spoke out against Obama when no one else would. He went against the establishment and the overwhelming majority of other black Americans. The man has stones.
I suspect that Dr. Carson will make life incredibly unpleasant for HUD bureaucrats happy with the status quo.
