Another Trumpism or Worse?

       One of our arguments regarding Donald Trump is -- he is relatively ignorant of the matters that concern being POTUS.  So every time he makes one of his colossal misstatements, we just chalk it up to "this man does not understand the job."  
     With that argument in consideration, what about the recent support from Ben Carson.  Some have concluded "a deal was in the making."  That is the same thought behind a recent complaint filed by the American Democracy Legal Fund, a pro-Clinton watchdog group,with the Justice Department.  
     It alleges that Donald Trump may have promised former candidate Ben Carson a job in the administration in exchange for his endorsement last month.  However, that would be a criminal offense.

18 U.S. Code § 599 - Promise of appointment by candidate
