(Trump shuffling papers)...Next!

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.”
I’ll bet most of the public doesn’t realize that the Army, Air Force and Navy secretaries are pretty far down on the totem poll and don’t run the Pentagon anymore like they did in World War II.
Oh I think Trump will find a guy suited for the position.
LOL
Weird how “financial investments and family businesses” never have any effect on commie “democrats” working for the government in the District of Corruption.
Randy Forbes of Virginia.
It’s the Flynn thing...
And you know, he withdrew his name because he said he couldn’t satisfy government ethical standards. Just the fact that he says that means I trust him more.
It is so rare that a successful business person is asked to fill a government position, like this man!
“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.”
The vetting as he noted could harm his family’s private financial interests.
How about Jim Webb again?
They come and they go. Mny have bad background problems. We will have an awesome Secretary of Navy SOON!! And we may Nuke North Korea. i HOPE SO.
Accomplished Americans need not apply.
Americans with Bureaucricities Act gives priority to bureacrats.
President Trump has a peculiar problem with his Secretary of the Navy. This is because the Navy has a persistent, bad problem with procurement, and has for several decades.
So instead of bringing in a former Admiral, who has likely as not been part of the problem, he needs to bring in an efficient and experienced businessman, to cut through the nonsense and get ships made on time and on budget.
Not easy, because the Navy is top heavy, and every one of their flag officers wants to put “his stamp” on new ships by changing something or adding something. Added to the incestuous relationship between former Navy officers and shipbuilding companies.
The end result Trump wants is that once a ship design is finalized, that is it, no more changes. If some part is frequently upgraded, it must be in a compatible, plug and play module. Construction delays and cost overruns come out of the hide of the shipbuilder.
These guys have skeletons real bad.Press on-— NEXT!!
He has to many questionable investments and refuses to put his country first.
F him, he was a rotten apple.
