Trump Taps Ben Carson As HUD Nominee

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former Johns Hopkins surgeon and campaign 2016 rival Ben Carson to become secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Trump's decision, announced early Monday by his transition office, comes as the real estate mogul continues a series of interviews, meetings with aides and other deliberations aimed at forming his administration.

In a statement, Trump says he's "thrilled to nominate" Carson, saying he "has a brilliant mind and is passionate about strengthening communities and families within those communities."

Carson has been coy about joining the new administration, saying shortly after Trump's election victory that he wasn't certain he'd fit into a Cabinet-style role. The discussion at that time centered on speculation that Carson might be selected to head the sprawling Department of Health and Human Services.

Either you are a special kind of stupid or you are pea green with envy over the success of Dr Ben Carson. He will make a great HUD head. He was tasked with putting together the first neonatal intensive care unit in the world and he did is so well it to this day is a model for the world. Have you ever done that 1:41. If not then you have zero business saying Dr Carson is clueless. Also he founded a foundation 30 years ago focused on educating achievers living in horrid conditions in inner cities. He understands that education and self sufficiency is the only way to revitalize neighborhoods. People have to have the means to purchase and upkeep homes. This unlike the clueless (and always lying) democrats who think the way to home ownership was forcing banks to make high risk loans. We all saw how they ended up. The economic downturn was the sole and exclusive fault of the democrats no matter how much they lie and blame it on Bush. Remember ALL democrats lie constantly.
America will become great again because of Donald Trump and great men like Dr Ben Carson.

He should be HHS secretary.
It's more in his line of expertise.

Ben Carson is far from clueless. He will probably be one of if not the most intelligent people in our government. First of all you don't become a juvenile brain surgeon by being clueless. Also the top brain surgeon at Johns Hopkins.
He will do a great job at anything Trump gives him to do. And by the way is so far superior to these Democrats in our government you can't even conceive it.
