Seems that trump is having problems coming up with someone for this role... Cain was the Chairman of the Omaha branch of the Federal Bank but... he also had multiple allegations of sexual harassment which led to his dropping out of the race in 2012.

Trump's favorite thing is to bring in people he's humiliated and let them ask him for a job. That's the ultimate power p*rn for him. I called you ugly trash and now you're kissing my butt because you want a job. He loved every minute of Romney sucking up to him.

Probably nailing it with that description. Just as he brought in ted cruz's wife after insulting her. Though I suspect trump's devoted supporters would say "see, he doesn't mean the awful things he says"...

Trump picks ex-oil lobbyist David Bernhardt for Interior secretary

Bernhardt, whose past clients include oil companies and others with business before the Interior Department, became the agency’s deputy secretary in 2017 and has led the department on an interim basis since former Secretary Ryan Zinke resigned amid ethics scandals in January. Before coming to Interior, Bernhardt was a lobbyist at the firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, where his clients included Eni Petroleum, Sempra Energy and the Westlands Water District.

Zinke’s #2 has so many potential conflicts of interest he has to carry a list of them all

“So, truthfully, you can fully meet your ethical requirements appropriately and still serve the department,” Bernhardt said. To keep track of his conflicts he carries a list the size of a credit card of 22 former clients still covered by his ethics recusal, including oil industry heavyweights like Halliburton Energy Services.

Fox News or not, she at least seems quite qualified for the job: ME degree from the Naval Academy, public affairs and intel experience in the Navy (was a combat pilot additionally), NBC news for a bit.

From same article:

One administration official said the extent of Gabrielle's policy experience is unclear, but they believe she will be an effective spokesperson. The official said that the choice demonstrates the administration sees the job as more a public affairs role than a policy heavy one.

Obama's pick for director of the GEC, Michael Lumpkin, had served as the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict and as the acting under secretary of defense for policy, the third-highest civilian job at the United States Department of Defense.

Then she better have some solid policy people working with her. When I looked up her bio, I was expecting somebody much more lightweight, was my point.

trump aimlessly whining, in this case, pointlessly since congress went home days ago. Meanwhile, trump has numerous "acting" cabinet heads without nominees...

Gee, I don't know, you think having a Commerce Secretary who lies constantly about divesting stocks is a bad thing?

Federal ethics agency refuses to certify financial disclosure from Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross

In a filing, the Office of Government Ethics said it wouldn't certify the 2018 annual filing by Ross because he didn't divest stock in a bank despite stating otherwise. The move could have legal ramifications for Ross and add to pressure for a federal probe. "The report is not certified," OGE Director Emory Rounds said in a filing, explaining that a previous document the watchdog received from Ross indicated he "no longer held BankUnited stock." However, Rounds said an Oct. 31 document "demonstrates that he did" still hold the shares and as a result, "the filer was therefore not in compliance with his ethics agreement at the time of the report."

A federal ethics agreement required that Ross divest stock worth between $1,000 and $15,000 in BankUnited by the end of May 2017, or within 90 days of the Senate confirming him to the Commerce post. He previously reported selling the stock twice, first in May 2017 and again in August 2018 as part of an annual disclosure required by OGE. However, Ross didn't sell the stock in the agreed upon time period in 2017 and then made the two filings indicating he did, the Center for Public Integrity first reported in December 2018. The nonprofit, which obtained the OGE documents, claimed Ross's failure to sell the stock was "the latest in a series of inaccurate statements and omissions in Ross' personal financial statements."
