President Donald Trump on Monday appointed Lynne Patton, a former aide to members of his family, to oversee federal housing programs in New York and New Jersey.
Patton confirmed to the New York Times that she will serve as the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s regional administrator overseeing the department’s New York and New Jersey office.
The White House did not immediately respond to TPM’s request for comment. Patton has no notable experience in housing or development policy.
After joining Trump’s administration, Patton worked at HUD as a senior adviser and director of public engagement for “several months” before Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson recommended her for the appointment, according to a report by the New York Times.

Faced with outrage, dump backs off temporarily. Then, when people aren't paying as much attention, he does what he intended all along.
Oh, and appointing one of his stooges to this position is another despicable act that screws the American public.

Lynn Patton and Ben Carson. Trump knows exactly what sort of people to put in office for an agency with the word "Urban" in it's name. Urban people!
The asshole's presidency can't end soon enough
