Seems to have been surprising to some people, for some reason. He had already announced he was not running for reelection back in December, and Trump made his intention to appoint him to replace Mulvaney known early this month.
Don't expect anything but yet another sycophant to put out for display.

(15,805 posts)The agencies are hollowed out and ineffective. The cabinet heads are nothing more than stage actors, props trained to praise and flatter Trump on cue. There's no one in the WH with any power or authority.
Trump is running the country just like he ran his company, as the unchecked ruler of his own personal domain.
