I'm telling you, HUD.

Trump hears "urban," he thinks "black people."

My money is on Byron Donalds.

Reposted from Keith Edwards

So... no Blacks for Trump in the Trump Administration. Do I've got that right?

Paul Newman for Hud.

omnibus09.bsky.social•92 days ago

Like his tenant policies in NYC, he also doesn't allow black people in the white house either.

plowandstars.bsky.social•92 days ago

HUD is the Rethuglican’s favorite token position.

duncanpepperwat.bsky.social•93 days ago

To think that Donalds is a step up from most of his other nominees shows just how low the bar is.

herr-jason.bsky.social•93 days ago

I was thinking Mark Robinson. He's a 2-fer...

Where is Mia Love these days?

whardy.bsky.social•93 days ago

Hey dr carson. You’re a black guy. I’m putting you in charge of housing and urban development.

abasa.bsky.social•92 days ago

I’d bet money on it but I’m low 😂

It's the Republican party, not just Trump.

The Republican party is an insurgency.

6 decades of the Southern Strategy has produced its engineered white oligarchy.

“Sir, Herman Cain is dead, sir.”
“2020, sir.”
“Yes, sir, in a helicopter crash, as you say, sir..“

montie2.bsky.social•92 days ago

Hilarious!

klhoughton.bsky.social•92 days ago

Because Tim Scott will say no?

mkmcg15.bsky.social•93 days ago

Maybe Herschel Walker?

ventifact212.bsky.social•93 days ago

Tangentially, Trump is so stupid that if he heard the name Dick D. Urban, he would appoint Dick Durban to whatever..

mjshally.bsky.social•93 days ago

It would be so funny if he puts Ben Carson back in there, especially after Carson reportedly wanted HHS.

iamonovo.bsky.social•92 days ago

Fucking idiots man!! Blacks for trump!! Everyone of you fools are getting what you deserve! Tim Scott even “got” married for this shit show and he’s getting nothing.😂😂😂

chargingrino.bsky.social•92 days ago

Wait, are you saying Trump appointing Ben Carson to HUD wasn't because of his experience as a neurosurgeon?

swordfishdata.bsky.social•92 days ago

As a former Donalds constituent, I would not be in any way surprised.

salloyd.bsky.social•93 days ago

I don't like his chances.

jlstudt.bsky.social•93 days ago

Accurate

wildflower317.bsky.social•92 days ago

I'm kinda surprised it wasn't Mark Robinson. You know, just to get folks riled up for a few days.

peth101.bsky.social•93 days ago

Has he sexually assaulted anyone?

richmahogany.bsky.social•93 days ago

I mean we saw how white the administration photos were last time, what on earth would make us think it would be different this time

tonyzardoz.bsky.social•93 days ago

Maybe this time, not even. "Digital media ambassador"

tonyzardoz.bsky.social•93 days ago

Well that was totally wrong

realityred.bsky.social•93 days ago

That entire department has got to be on the DOGE chopping block.

onbluskysku.bsky.social•93 days ago

Making HUD be led by a black person for the symbolism even when that specific person isn’t that interested in housing issues is unfortunately a bipartisan tradition and at this point seems pretty patronizing

tomp70.bsky.social•93 days ago

Close, Scott Turner who is black. 4 years in Texas House and a motivational speaker.

krogerfoot.bsky.social•93 days ago

See: Dr Ben Carson, noted neurosurgeon and expert on urban development

tomt23.bsky.social•93 days ago

his last HUD secretary was Ben Carson so...

3fecta.bsky.social•93 days ago

You were half right.

johnnykwuhhh.bsky.social•93 days ago

Watch him say Herman Cain

lilheb.bsky.social•93 days ago

Thought it was going to be Tim Scott.

Likewise, he hears “education”, he thinks “women”. It’s all casting.

rush-fan.bsky.social•93 days ago

It’s always HUD.

klearnote.com•92 days ago

Trump hears "urban" and thinks, "I'm hungry. Who is that girl over there? Let me tap that." because he's not listening to what you're saying.

justsendit.bsky.social•92 days ago

Nailed it

hrhleg.bsky.social•93 days ago

Is Ben Carson out? In that case…Diddy, for the pardon.

itsjustjenn.bsky.social•92 days ago

"Urban = the blacks, right? I'm telling you, nobody does Urban like me!"

aubreelane3.bsky.social•93 days ago

🤣 I just said that to someone.

moocowsue.bsky.social•92 days ago

You got the black part correct.

catfrat.bsky.social•93 days ago

100%

nanners3.bsky.social•92 days ago

✔️

brewmeisterstc.bsky.social•92 days ago

💯

cheeto377.bsky.social•93 days ago

Like Michael Scott picking Stanley because “urban.”

dianecwatson.bsky.social•92 days ago

caliteacher.bsky.social•93 days ago

Nah, he hears urban and thinks kid rock

rayanselmo.bsky.social•93 days ago

That is literally why he picked Ben Carson the last time around.

nicklloyd.bsky.social•93 days ago

Is he not getting the appointment to Rubio’s seat?

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh, that's a real possibility.

ramzl.bsky.social•93 days ago

Right church, wrong pew

duurti.bsky.social•92 days ago

Spot on

celticdragon1.bsky.social•92 days ago

Ye. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

americanpatriot.bsky.social•93 days ago

He’s waiting for Dr. Oz to drop out before putting up Dr. Ben Carson.

djohnrowins.bsky.social•93 days ago

That's why Carson got the position. My late 2nd wife was in Kenya and asked me to get something for my son on his birthday. I agreed before knowing what. I had to buy a copy of Gifted Hands

floridapolitico.bsky.social•93 days ago

“Byron Donalds is GREAT American patriots who will clean our inner city mess and make cities SAFE again!”

averybullard.bsky.social•93 days ago

Both wrong.

Too much Florida. Tim Scott.

lynleto.bsky.social•92 days ago

Scott Turner, Byron SOL

proptermalone.bsky.social•93 days ago

yup

alanneff.bsky.social•93 days ago

The worst thing about Donalds is he's less outright clueless than Ben Carson was.

2findout.bsky.social•92 days ago

He can't be reelected. My bet is he names one of his real estate buddies or one of his kids.

lazuleo.bsky.social•93 days ago

My bet has been on HUD, too.

owens-kd1.bsky.social•92 days ago

Oh holy crap. You take that back. Don’t even put that out in the universe.

stheman.bsky.social•93 days ago

My money is on Dr. Measles in Florida.

othesharon.bsky.social•92 days ago

Just like Education = woman

auntkass.bsky.social•92 days ago

Byron is just a little too black.

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•93 days ago

Well, right on the general point, I guess.

https://bsky.app/profile/yasharali.bsky.social/post/3lblcksh47s2e

tarheel08.bsky.social•93 days ago

I am assuming Trump first rang Ben Carson, but he was sleeping?

kevindennehy.bsky.social•93 days ago

Rumor has it Mike Johnson told Trump that if he grabbed another congressman for his cabinet he would start hitting the porn accounts Matt Gaetz introduced him to.

amandajsummers.bsky.social•93 days ago

Omfg

jer1190.bsky.social•92 days ago

Lmao. Byron Donalds and Tim Scott are sitting here like wtf?! They got used.

sondeerrf.bsky.social•93 days ago

That is scary how much that made sense and how easily this was for you to call.

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•93 days ago

I'd like to take pride in that, but he's not remotely complicated.

ianmac.bsky.social•93 days ago

Is that where Dr Ben Carson was in the last Trump misadministration?

I can see the pattern you’re referring to…

I’m surprised Byron Donalds hasn’t been given a job, as he is such a kiss-ass towards Trump.

lovebri2.bsky.social•92 days ago

Looks like he’s angling for Rubio’s seat.

ianmac.bsky.social•92 days ago

Yikes. 🙈

cborshuk.bsky.social•93 days ago

Aaaaaand a football player, quel suprise

lovebri2.bsky.social•92 days ago

“Big, strong and urban…”

nahmichelle.bsky.social•93 days ago

But, but…that was Ben Carson’s job.

tiletony.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yeah, he picked a neurosurgeon last time. Sure, he happened to be Black. You just can't make this stuff up.

bebesbirdhouse.bsky.social•93 days ago

I knew it was coming... Look at Ben Carson...

thepinklady.bsky.social•93 days ago

Of course...

misterfungi.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yikes

elcanaco.bsky.social•93 days ago

How does being a retired NFL player make one qualified for a position that should be held by an urban planner?

rickywlmsbong.bsky.social•93 days ago

yeah ben carson made it pretty clear in trump 1.0

digory29.bsky.social•93 days ago

So, Candace Owen?

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•93 days ago

"Why did you appoint a neurosurgeon who's never worked on urban policies to be HUD secretary?"

"Oh .... you know."

drsaddison.bsky.social•91 days ago

"He just looked the part."

adambstrassberg.bsky.social•93 days ago

Probably wanted to but the margin in Congress is too thin

kmnla1004.bsky.social•92 days ago

Huh, because black?

Jaysus trump is so embarrassing.

smikesme.bsky.social•93 days ago

This is impressive

velvetcanuck.bsky.social•92 days ago

drsaddison.bsky.social•91 days ago

Wow, well done.

pauletteparis1.bsky.social•93 days ago

😪🤬

wanderingchipmunk1.bsky.social•93 days ago

You pretty much nailed it, though.

its-me-t.bsky.social•92 days ago

It was Carson last time.

"They"are exactly what Trump thinks of HUD.

lovebri2.bsky.social•92 days ago

Yep, definitely spot on. And I thought it myself as soon as I saw the announcement. The only job he thinks a Black person is qualified for in his cabinet.The ignorance is alarming.

sarahstyfwriter.bsky.social•93 days ago

🤦🏼‍♀️

jamesfrye.bsky.social•93 days ago

Half convinced he was picked so they could use the old racist Washington football team name in the release.

cyn1422.bsky.social•92 days ago

Why is HUD always a black man?

adamlerner28.bsky.social•93 days ago

Hahahaha

thatac.bsky.social•93 days ago

How long did it take them to get trump to remember Herman Cain was dead?

bananafreeberkeley.bsky.social•92 days ago

You called it. And really, in Trump world, he basically did appoint Reynolds, because one is the same as the next, right?

funky16corners.bsky.social•93 days ago

A football player, of course.

archivesboy.bsky.social•93 days ago

Straight out of central casting as someone likes to say.

vedasgrammie.bsky.social•93 days ago

I couldn't have said it better.

gen-x-jen.bsky.social•92 days ago

HUD is the b-lack job.

wmjones.bsky.social•93 days ago

lol, lmao even.

thetellurian.bsky.social•93 days ago

Think I just saw Ben Carson was coming back to hud. But you're definitely right.

owlectric.bsky.social•92 days ago

Right, he thinks HUD is the department of black people.

mangomania.bsky.social•93 days ago

Does he have a sexual assault allegation? If so he's a shoe-in.

hntdove.bsky.social•93 days ago

It would get him out of the House, anyway.

robertrosenthal.bsky.social•92 days ago

Just like Reagan. Who addressed his own HUD Secretary as "Mr. Mayor."

jdrevis.bsky.social•93 days ago

I had exactly the same thought about "urban."

grayharetherabbit.bsky.social•93 days ago

Elijah Anderson’s “Iconic Ghetto” intensifies

scohoe.bsky.social•93 days ago

It's why Ben got it last time

79cruisegal.bsky.social•92 days ago

Half right!

lizmattphilly.bsky.social•92 days ago

I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or barf when they played DIXIE as Donalds’s entrance music at MSG. Yeah, he reps SW Florida, but he’s a slick NYer from the burroughs. (He’s my congressman. If he gets called up by Trump, we get a new election.)

pinkfreudhokie.bsky.social•92 days ago

No way. He just needed nominated someone else.

zandywithaz.bsky.social•93 days ago

Last time it was Ben Carson, a surgeon(??). So you are 100% correct.

tccschreiner.bsky.social•93 days ago

What’s incredible is that he didn’t quit or get fired, when virtually everyone else in his cabinet did.

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•93 days ago

Probably because Trump didn’t care about HUD at all and was happy that all Carson did there was redecorate

susano911.bsky.social•93 days ago

Do we think the $30k table is still in the HUD office? Or left with Carson?

zandywithaz.bsky.social•93 days ago

Also Ben Carson was probably asleep the whole time.

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•93 days ago

Absolutely

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•93 days ago

This pick has *slightly* more experience but still hits the one trait that's at the top of his casting sheet.
