A third of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carsons appointees at the highest levels of the department have no experience with housing policy, according to an analysis by The Washington Post.
Twenty-four of the 70 people hired to the top positions at HUD under Carson apparently have no housing policy experience, according to the Post's analysis of their resumes and LinkedIn profiles.
However, 16 of them appear to have worked on Carsons or President Trumps 2016 presidential campaigns, or maintain close personal connections to their families, the Post reported.
HUD spokesman Raffi Williams in a statement to the Post wrote that hiring people with "varying experiences to government is not unusual" and pointed out the majority of the top appointees do have housing experience.

So? Neither does Ben Carson. This is only standard operating procedure in the Trump kakistocracy.

None of Trumps appointees are qualified for the positions to which they were appointed. Just the opposite. He picked them for their destructive talents.
