Former presidential candidate teams up with the Trump admin in a stunning move
Donald Trump wants to team up with the best. That’s why he’s chosen this person for an important job.
And a former presidential candidate teams up with the Trump admin in a stunning move.
In a move that’s got real Americans cheering from the farm fields to the family dinner tables, President Donald Trump is wasting no time stacking his second administration with proven patriots who get what everyday folks need.
Dr. Ben Carson, the brilliant brain surgeon who fearlessly led the charge at Housing and Urban Development during Trump’s first term, is stepping up once again. This time, he’s lending his sharp mind to the Department of Agriculture, zeroing in on nutrition, health, and housing – the building blocks of strong American lives.
On Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins stood tall and proud as she officially swore in Carson as the department’s national adviser for these vital areas. It’s not some Washington insider game; it’s a straight-shot commitment to putting food on plates that nourishes, homes that shelter, and policies that protect the backbone of the nation.
Carson didn’t mince words in his kickoff statement, laying out the raw truth about the struggles hitting too many of our neighbors. “Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through commonsense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” he declared.
And Carson’s all in on this mission, ready to roll up his sleeves alongside Rollins. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America,” he said.
Chatting with Newsmax right after the ceremony, Carson doubled down on the urgency, dropping a timeless gem that every red-blooded American knows deep in their gut: “You are what you eat.”
He didn’t stop there, painting a clear picture of how this team plans to shake things up. “This administration really wants to look at it from the inception, from how we conduct our planting, our harvesting, how it gets to your plate, what things are done to it that are good, what things in the past have been done that are bad, what’s good for your health,” Carson explained.
Secretary Rollins couldn’t hold back her praise for the man stepping into this role, calling him a game-changer for America. She knows Carson’s not just book-smart; he’s street-smart for the struggles of rural life, where miles of open road separate folks from the care they deserve.
“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” Rollins stated firmly.
Rollins drove the point home with hard facts that should make every patriot’s blood boil – facts the left loves to ignore while they jet off to their coastal enclaves. “With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical,” she added.
Carson’s resume reads like a blueprint for the American Dream he helped so many chase. A world-class neurosurgeon, he spent nearly three decades as director of pediatric surgery at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, pioneering feats that saved tiny lives when the odds were stacked against them.
Those groundbreaking advances didn’t happen in a vacuum; they came from a man who rose from Detroit’s tough streets, proving that grit and God-given talent trump any Ivy League pedigree.
Flash back to 2016, and you see Carson throwing his hat in the ring for the Republican presidential nomination, battling it out in a field stacked with career politicians. Trump came out on top, but he saw the gold in Carson right away, tapping him to helm HUD and steer the ship toward fair housing that lifts up communities, not tears them down.
Under Trump’s watch, Carson slashed red tape at HUD, putting power back in the hands of local folks who know their towns best.
Now, as Trump gears up to honor this trailblazer, the word is out: the President plans to award Carson the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s top civilian nod to heroes. It’s a full-circle moment, especially since former President George W. Bush beat Trump to it back in 2008, recognizing Carson’s lifetime of quiet miracles.
With Carson back in the fold, Trump’s second act is firing on all cylinders – a powerhouse team laser-focused on feeding our bodies, mending our homes, and fortifying our future.
