President Donald Trump suggested that he hired Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum because his wife was attractive, claiming on Thursday he initially wanted to work with Burgum because “anybody that has somebody like” that indicates success. Trump made his remarks from the Oval Office while signing an executive order to address drug addiction, where he was joined by, among others, Doug and Kathryn Burgum. At the close of the event, the president said he first saw the couple in a video, where it was Kathryn– not Doug– that caught his eye. “It’s a great couple, amazing couple, and she is very much a part of his big success. According to an NBC report, Trump backed off from picking Burgum after Donald Trump Jr. sent him a Breitbart article detailing Karl Rove’s support for the governor.
