Why Did Trump Appoint Scientifically-Challenged Mike Pence As Coronavirus Czar?

Alan: Why did Trump appoint Mike Pence as his coronavirus "czar" -- a man who was once asked if he would approve "free needle exchange" to control the spread of HIV infection, and replied: "I'm going to go home and pray on it." (Verbatim quote.)
It is so tiresome to hear "the good Christians" of our "exceptional country" disguise vengeful punitiveness as "God's Will." These self-apotheosized mini-deities deserve every epithet Trump himself could utter - and more!
FACT: Trump cannot keep good people in The West Wing, and increasingly good people want nothing to do with his GD administration.
If Trump were to ask any worthy scientist to head the White House coronavirus containment effort -- and if His Toxicity also asked such a candidate to sign a non-disclosure agreement -- NO self-respecting scientist would agree.
And so, if Trump hired a good scientist who tells him where he can shove his mobster omerta' agreement, he would then -- in the absence of his customary firewall -- reveal his stupidity, ignorance, unwillingness to learn, small-minded vengefulness and routinely reckless decision-making process.
Once these demonic qualities -- and a whole litany of others -- are revealed, Malignant Messiah's capable coronavirus czar would be in a position to "spill the beans," perhaps going so far as to say: "Trump's asslick cabinet is responsible for the National Security and - by any definition of good conscience - the cabinet would invoke The 25th Amendment on a man who is incomprehensibly inane, asinine, ill-informed, and a very sick individual who lives at the synergistic intersection of multiple pathologies."
Once an insider (who is not muzzled by a non-disclosure agreement) lets THAT cat out of the bag, well... the cat is out of the bag.
To keep the cat IN THE BAG (which is the only way "Don the Con" can save his sorry ass) Trump chose to give the job to Pence rather than to a knowledgeable professional.
Motivated by unadulterated self-interest, "Orange Toddler" puts the nation in harm's way every day he remains in office, not to mention the wide-spectrum damage "His Ineptitude" has already perped -- damage whose calamitous outcomes will "come to light" as surely as day follows night.
