Say what you want about Donald Trump — he encourages hatred, war crimes committed by our troops, abuse of women, and the banging of his own daughter — but the man knows how to hook his boys up.
It’s pretty much what his entire campaign is based upon: “I have spent decades paying off politicians in exchange for favors, I know how the game works better than anyone.” We’re starting to now see how this strategy will play out in a potential Trump administration, as former GOP candidate Dr. Ben Carson has recently some out saying he endorsed the man formerly known as Drumpf in exchange for getting promised a job.
From RedState:
Dr. Ben Carson: I do believe, and certainly in my discussions with Donald Trump, he does love America and he does want to be successful. And, he will surround himself with very good people.
Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg: And will one of them be Dr. Ben Carson?
Carson: I will be doing things as well, yeah.
Malzberg: In the administration.
Carson: Certainly in an advisory capacity.
Malzberg: That’s been determined? You’ve, when you sat down with him that was discussed?
Carson: Yes.
Was Trump Carson’s first choice? Hell nah. But bruh hooked him up with a job.
From Gawker:
“I didn’t see a path for Kasich, who I like, or for Rubio, who I like. As far as Cruz is concerned, I don’t think he’s gonna be able to draw independents and Democrats, unless has has some kind of miraculous change,” Carson explained. “Is there another scenario that I would have preferred? Yes. But that scenario isn’t available.”
What’s going on here is a classic postgrad “I need a job” situation. Graduation is over, you’re left scrambling for employment, and now you have to turn to that one douchebag brother for a job, the same one who used to get aggressively drunk every Tuesday and knock three girls over, the same one who’s only in your friend circle because his dad paid a cool million to get him in the door. And now, just like real life hostage Chris Christie before him, Carson’s forced to sell his soul just to stay in the game. Which, ThinkProgress points out, is illegal.
It is illegal for a candidate to promise “the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy.
Absolutely amazing. A dude who ran as an anti-politician (even though his entire campaign was an elaborate scam to pay his friends has now joined forces with the federal bureaucracy by way of the very system he decried. America, what a country.
This is just another example of why E-board can never be trusted. They’re all a bunch of corrupt, overachieving motherfuckers who circle jerk each other. Bribes on bribes on bribes. Next time E-Board tries to tell you not to blast K-Pop music at your asshole neighbors South Korea-style, you ask them how much they’re getting paid off.
As for what exact position Ben “real life Rain Man” Carson will be taking on in the Drumpf cabinet, it’s unclear, but my best bet is that Carson will be Ambassador to the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids Used as Grain Silos..

You can’t say “Boy” in this situation…
For someone so smart, he sure does say the dumbest shit.
True, but he’s not that smart. He’s a talented technician, but I don’t think that qualifies as “smart.” I mean, electricians and plumbers and air conditioner repairmen know their stuff inside and out and can memorize and design and repair extraordinarily complicated systems. They leave us all in the dust. I’d argue that Carson is like this – really good with his hands in working with complicated systems. I don’t think that qualifies him, or a talented electrician, for the presidency.
As somebody that is currently in medical school and has studied his contributions to the field, I assure you he’s a genius. He’s a brilliant surgeon. Not a technician. Not a mechanic. When was the last time your daddy’s beamer flatlined while it was getting its oil changed at the dealership
I agree he doesn’t have the skill set to be president. But to compare him to an air conditioner technician is ignorant as fuck
You are clearly the one who is not that smart. You compared being an electrician to being the Director of neurological surgery at the the #1 hospital for neurological surgery. It takes a lot more than surgical skills to run a department, but really all there is to be said is,” “He’s a fucking neurosurgeon!” Say what you want about his politics, but you can’t say he isn’t smart.
yeah I think I know what kinds of jobs this kids dad held.
There is a sort of joke civil war between internists and surgeons, but unless you are in, accepted, or graduated from medical school you can’t participate. Go away please.
I can participate in whatever the fuck I want. I’m a white American man
I HATE PC CULTURE
I’ll beat you til you’re PC black and blue. Woo hoo
Everyday I become more worried that Hillary is going to be the next POTUS, simply because we don’t have an electable candidate to oppose her…
The Republican candidates certainly have their pros and cons. Trump is just a jackass, Rubio is soft, Kasich has zero charisma. Cruz seems like the only feasible candidate. Texas Forever.
Kasich doesn’t have to be charismatic. He’s a straight shooter and he’s what America needs to beat that liar Hillary or that moronic hippie Sanders.
You’re not wrong. His lack of energy seems to be unattractive to the majority of conservative voters, though.
Not conservative. Neither he nor Trump are conservative. Don’t confuse “appealing to the basest instincts of the uneducated masses who vote republican” with “conservative.”
Now would be a great time for you to get licking on my butthole.
Get in there real nice and deep like.
Entirely agree with you on the liberal shitheads, however. Hilary is a smelly cunt and Bernie is a flaming sack of shit.
And we can’t beat them if we don’t win Ohio and Florida. I don’t think I could stand another 4 years of having a liberal president. Kasich with Rubio as his running mate is the best chance we have in making sure our country doesn’t get taken over by socialists.
You’re right, Orville. Ted is the only feasible candidate. But as the downvotes on your first comment that I’m referring to imply, the Trump supporters won’t vote for Cruz in the generals should he get the nomination. My point is, without a contested convention, we are fucked.
This is some Frank Underwood House of Cards shit
I pray to God Hillary gets indicted.
Go write for Brobible you liberal fuck.
J parks Caldwell? What is this? 2011?
Still praying for you, Parks.
fuck that liberal pussy John Oliver
#trump2016 fuck Muslim immigrants and welfare!
Trump should convince all the candidates to drop out contingent on him appointing them to governmental roles. He should get Kasich for Vice President because of him seeming to know some policy and appoint Carson as surgeon general due to his medical background and Cruze as speaker of the house and just drop Rubio for trying to stack him at the debates but failing.
“Appoint Cruze as speaker of the house.”
That right there says it all. And I’m not even talking about the misspelling.
President doesn’t approve speak of the house retard. He’s voted on by fellow reps in the HOR
If Trump would make any deal with Cruz it would be to nominate him for Scalia’s spot on the Supreme Court if the spot is not filled by then.
TRUMP 2016
