Social Security Commissioner Says He Googled What His Job Is After Trump Picked Him

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s pick to run the Social Security Administration said he had to google the job after the president tapped him for the position.

In a meeting with managers at the agency’s Baltimore headquarters this week, Frank Bisignano, the commissioner of Social Security, was candid about his apparent unfamiliarity with the job.

“I don’t think the commissioner of Social Security is, like, a globally known title. It is to you, right? But, like, it wasn’t to me,” Bisignano said, according to audio of the meeting obtained by HuffPost.

“So I get a phone call, and it’s about Social Security. And I’m really … I swear I’m not looking for a job,” Bisignano continued. “And I’m like, ‘Well, what am I gonna do?’ So I’m googling Social Security. You know, one of my great skills, I’m one of the great googlers on the East Coast.”

Laughter can be heard on the recording, which captures Bisignano seemingly trying to endear himself to his new employees as he describes his background and invites them to ask questions.
