No fan of Trump, but yea, just for SEO I think. Esp considering Obama had put him on the board to begin with, Trump only had him chair.

It should be noted that Obama was legally required to appoint a Republican to that slot, and took Mitch McConnell's recommendation.

Making him Chairman is an explicit vote of confidence far greater than "I have to pick someone I don't really like, might as well be this guy".
