President Donald Trump shared an unusual detail about how he picked Interior Secretary Doug Burgum for his Cabinet. He said he hired Burgum partly because he was impressed by Burgum’s wife, Kathryn. Trump explained this while signing an executive order to fight drug addiction, saying that a person’s spouse shows a lot about their overall success.
According to Mediaite, the president said he first saw the couple in a video where they were riding horses. He immediately asked who the person was, but he wasn’t asking about the future Secretary. “I saw them riding horses in a video and I said, ‘Who is that?’ I was talking about her, not him,” Trump said from the Oval Office, pointing toward Kathryn Burgum.
