Trump nominates Carson for HUD secretary

And I’m quoting now, “Dr. Carson feels he has”, quote, “no government experience”. Responding to those reports, Williams had said, “He’s never run an agency and it’s a lot to ask. The last thing he’d want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency”.

WILLIAMS: That was accurate, by the way.

Other transcendent nuggets that have come out of Ben Carson’s “brilliant mind” include a made-up biography, the idea that Syrian refugees are like “rabid dogs”, and the inaccurate theory that the Egyptian pyramids, which are solid stone, were built by the Biblical character of Joseph to “store grain”. He felt he could be more effective and supportive of the president-elect. “He is a tough competitor and never gives up”, Trump said.

Carson was among 16 Republican candidates who challenged Trump for the Republican nomination. “MBA wishes Dr. Carson and the rest of the administration success as they get ready to embark upon these next four years”.

As The Times’s Mid-Atlantic bureau chief, I have spent a lot of time in Baltimore, Cleveland and Philadelphia, which are all run by Democrats.

Failed social experiment? That’s how he views anti-discrimination housing laws?

Carson’s appointment, like those of Trump’s other cabinet selections for his new administration, must be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate.

“I am seriously considering Dr”. Carson’s business dealings also faced scrutiny, including his ties to a wealthy Pittsburgh dentist whom he helped avoid prison time for felony health-care fraud. They have – they don’t pass drug tests. The lack of education.

His medical career has given him an extreme foundation.

The transition team described Carson as “a distinguished national leader who overcame his troubled youth in the inner city of Detroit to become a renowned neurosurgeon”.

Carson then enrolled in the School of Medicine at the University of MI, choosing to become a neurosurgeon.

Trump, meanwhile, derided him as “super low energy”. Ben Carson as the head of HUD. Gore, a leading global advocate for controlling the effects of man-made climate change, called the discussions a “sincere search for common ground”. Dr. Carson doesn’t operate that way.

“People can learn the policies and the talking points, but the transition will be dictated by their own managerial style”, said Chang, who remembered incoming Secretary of State Colin Powell walking the halls to meet with career officers and not just his executive staff. After this, he will also be in charge with improving what the president-elect has described as “America’s blighted and unsafe inner cities, a dystopian, racially charged image criticized as frequently at odds with reality”. Trump will continue his “thank you” tour with a stop Tuesday in North Carolina.
