Trump can’t believe voters are falling for Ben Carson’s ‘crap’
He added, “How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?” “How stupid are the people of the country?”
For 95 minutes, the billionaire businessman criticized not only Carson but also many of his other competitors in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.
The soft-spoken famous neurosurgeon has been defending key elements of his biography recently, including a story that his temper when he was young had caused him to try to stab a friend, an attempt that was stopped only by a large belt buckle.
Trump honed in on the word Carson used to describe himself back in the day (pathological) and pounced… like only Donald Trump can. “We don’t need either as president”, the ad concludes.
“Now that he’s completed his gratuitous attack, why don’t we press on and deal with the real issues”, Carson told reporters in SC before they could ask questions.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll is also bad news for Marco Rubio, who is widely considered to be emerging as the establishment-backed alternative to Trump.
Instead, Trump absurdly suggests that a man who has spent decades performing complex, marathon neurosurgeries on infants and children at Johns Hopkins might snap as president, implying that Dr. Carson’s violent Detroit youth might lead him to push the nuclear button in a rage. If you’re a child molester, a sick puppy, there is no cure for that.
Those primary voters remain very down on former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. “It doesn’t happen that way”, Mr Trump told the rally.
On Friday’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, politics once again took a center stage, and it revolved around who else, but Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Donald Trump repeatedly assailed Carly Fiorina on Twitter Friday, saying she butted into his feud with Ben Carson because of her falling poll numbers.
“It is entertaining. I have to give him that”, Eckstrom’s husband, Max, said.
This morning Trump posted a short video to his Instagram page to double-down on his Carson attacks and supposedly celebrate Friday the 13th.
“It hit the belt, and the knife broke”, Trump said, after pulling out an imaginary knife and thrusting it toward the audience. “He said that he’s “pathological” and that he’s got, basically, pathological disease…”
Trump repeated similar comments he made earlier on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” comparing Carson’s self-described “pathology” related to his anger issues to that of a child molester.
While most of the members of the panel expressed shock at Trump’s comments, panel member Donny Deutsch stood up and applauded the edited version of the rant. And you know what, you’ll get Exxon to come in there and in two months, you ever see these guys, how good they are, the great oil companies?
Carson has built up a following among conservative, evangelical Christian (and largely white) voters in Iowa with his tales of moral redemption from a violent childhood, and The Donald is now setting out to depict Carson as unsafe – and maybe even inhuman.
