Trump likens Carson's 'pathology' to that of a child molester

Donald Trump said Thursday that Ben Carson's self-described "pathological temper" is incurable -- adding that it's like the sickness of a "child molester."

"It's in the book that he's got a pathological temper," Trump told "Erin Burnett OutFront," speaking about Carson's autobiography. "That's a big problem because you don't cure that ... as an example: child molesting. You don't cure these people. You don't cure a child molester. There's no cure for it. Pathological, there's no cure for that."

In his 1990 autobiography, "Gifted Hands," Carson attributes violent behavior in his youth to his "disease," a "pathological temper" that the Republican presidential hopeful said caused him to strike one friend with a rock and attempt to stab another. In subsequent accounts of his violent youth, Carson said he once attempted to attack his mother with a hammer.

"I'm not bringing up anything that's not in his book," Trump told Erin Burnett. "You know, when he says he went after his mother and wanted to hit her in the head with a hammer, that bothers me. I mean, that's pretty bad. When he says he's pathological -- and he says that in the book, I don't say that -- and again, I'm not saying anything, I'm not saying anything other than pathological is a very serious disease. And he said he's pathological, somebody said he has pathological disease."

Looks like Trump really does want to take over the Republican Party.

Either that, or get knocked out because he is bored.

Of course. Hope you do not get cancer and avoid seeing a competent doctor and depend on divine intervention. In case you are not aware, no amount of prayers prevented Polio for 1900 years, until Dr. Sabine invented the Polio vaccine.

I think I can pretty much guarantee Trump is not bored. He just wants to be President and he knows how to win. He’s not going to choke.

[WVKayaker]

He found Jesus, didn't he? I think He's pretty much capable of curing anything.

This pic hangs in Dr. Ben's home... Him and his Black Jesus!

Is Trump having a meltdown in Ft Dodge now ?

[Red Steel]

It’s a big nothing. It’s CNN looking for hits to read their story using sensationalism.

Watch.

These guys in the media need to ask Carson about his “disease” if they want to know, but that doesn’t fit their meme for ‘controversy’ even if fake.

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON ITS HEAD!

Trump is better than I thought in playing 3-dimensional chess.

[tirednvirginia]

The Republicans have been careful not to make an issue of this but believe me if Carson is the nominee, the Dems wont mind making it an issue. You can count on it.

[FourPeas]

It might have in some cases. We don’t have any way of knowing.

[skeeter]

Heaven forbid Trump attack Carson’s position on the issues, many of which are wide open to attack.

A better tactic is to use his autobiography to compare him to a child molester. Got it.

[Duchess47]

I am wondering right now exactly what Trump knows because you are right.

[sunrise_sunset]

Sadly, they will go after Cruz with similar analogies. They are developing a whisper campaign against Cruz already.

You may be right. However keep in mind, Trump did NOT initiate this attack. He was giving a direct answer to a question on CNN.

[familyop]

One would think that his moral and religious position would be common knowledge by now.

After 52 seconds, Donald Trump said the following in answer to the question about repentance.

https://youtu.be/P_niTGpz-PQ?t=52s

"Well, I, I like to work where I don't really have to ask for...I like to do the right thing where I don't have to actually ask for forgiveness, does that make sense to you, you know, where you don't make such bad things, that you don't have to ask for forgiveness, I mean, I try and lead a life where I don't have to ask G[-]d for forgiveness..."

After 1 minute, 24 seconds,...

https://youtu.be/P_niTGpz-PQ?t=1m24s

"Well, I try not to make mistakes, where I have to ask for forgiveness, for one thing. So when I'm asked a question like that, it's like, you know, I don't like to make a lot of mistakes."

After 1 minute, 50 seconds,...

https://youtu.be/P_niTGpz-PQ?t=1m50s

"Why do I have to ask for forgiveness, if you're not making mistakes, I work hard, I'm an honorable person, I have thousands of people that work for me, I've employed tens of thousands of people over the years..."

Yeah, I’ve seen the black Jesus painting. I don’t like it.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with Trump’s remark, nor does it make the comment any more acceptable.

[CatherineofAragon]

"CatherineofAragon-E"

Afraid not. I support the Constitutional conservative in the race.

Your juvenile attempts to shut up legitimate criticism of Trump and his big mouth won't work.

[skeeter]

My opinion is this tact, while it may help take Carson out, will not help Trump because, IMO, it likely will seem unecessarily mean spirited to the undecided. It made me uncomfortable, and I'm a friend.

If intentional, he should have at least sent a lieutenant out to make the assertion keeping his hands clean.

On the other hand, the MSM may have taken him completely out of context, which would not be a first. I'll have to hear the interview.

[ncalburt]

Wow.
CNN and the Clinton operative Erin carefully twist Trump point and the local
Trump Haters go into the usual orchestrated tired phony contrived outrage and over blown Hysterical Derangement .

How did FR become invested with some many Dem astroturfers and DC establishment trolls ?

And its the same tired phony outraged posters over and over ....
Who knew CNN and Dem Bimbo Erin were considered anything but serial liars and Clinton hitman !

[ScottinVA]

Well.. is there any doubt that if the media had misrepresented what Trump had said he’d be calling them out?
