Trump Taps Ben Carson For Secretary Of Housing And Urban Development
December 5, 20166
Armstrong Williams, told The Hill last month that the former GOP presidential hopeful wasn't interested in a Cabinet position because, "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."

Yeah! Trump is most certainly picking The Best for his team.
(No, he is certainly not. Trump spoils every word that he uses. Uggghhhh.)
Carson two weeks ago did claim he had sufficient experience for the HUD job, saying, "I know that I grew up in the inner city and have spent a lot of time there, and have dealt with a lot of patients from that area." But his campaign website's issues page made no mention of housing policy. And the extent of his public pronouncements on housing seems restricted to an odd statement in which he compared attempts to desegregate public housing to "failed socialist experiments."
In years past, HUD has been an agency prone to cronyism and corruption. So it might be worthwhile for senators involved in Carson's confirmation to vet Carson closely and to examine his relationship with a convicted felon.

Much of Carson's personal wealth, estimated to be about $8 million, is tied up in a handful of real estate deals. These deals were engineered with the assistance of a close friend named Alfonso Costa. Costa was once a successful Pittsburgh dentist, but he went into the real estate game full time after pleading guilty to a conspiracy to commit health insurance fraud. Now Costa runs a successful commercial and high-end luxury real estate empire with properties in Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, Italy, and elsewhere. Costa also heads the Pittsburgh office of Carson's charity, and he appears to have managed Carson's real estate investments.

The overwhelming odor of scandal, is filling the swamp.
Are there any choices that Trump has made, that do not reek ?
Why do men and women reluctantly agree to join Trump ?
Does Trump know "where the bodies are buried" ?
Built in excuse for disasters.
Trump may blame the people that he has chosen,
when situations turn ugly.
