Ben Carson changes mind, wants Trump job, could lead HUD

Posted by | November 22, 2016 14:33 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

Ben Carson said he didn’t want a position in the Trump administration. Now he does.

“I am seriously considering Dr. Ben Carson as the head of HUD. I’ve gotten to know him well–he’s a greatly talented person who loves people!” Trump tweeted Tuesday…

Carson campaign manager and close friend Armstrong Williams last week told The Hill that the retired neurosurgeon was not interested in serving as Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services.

“Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he’s never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency,” Williams said at the time.

So a doctor who says he wasn’t qualified to head a health department is being considered for Housing and Urban Development.

    Carson previously stated that he lacked the proper expertise to run HHS … so naturally Donnie and Dr. Ben have concluded that he would be perfect to run HUD. Huh?

    Ha … Carson, the Designated Survivor. We are doomed.

    That’s fitting. The movie Hud was about hoof and mouth disease. Carson suffers from foot in mouth.

      He’s definitely a dud.

    Perfect. I was really starting to miss his endless reservoir of wit and wisdom. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/500c0bc6abd9075b6acebbe8e1aaa0c300ab8ad3a94b5e189a04f22dc9749e12.jpg
