With Ben Carson gaining ground in presidential polls, Donald Trump is expanding attacks on his chief rival and suggested he’s nuts.

The dramatic stories from Carson’s rough youth growing up in Detroit are getting a fresh look after CNN contacted multiple Carson friends, classmates and other contemporaries who were unable to corroborate the incidents. Trump fired his first shot Thursday night, when he tweeted: “The Carson story is either a total fabrication or, if true, even worse-trying to hit mother over the head with a hammer or stabbing friend!” It was only last month — when Trump led all the polls — that the real estate mogul said he could see Carson as a possible running-mate.

...being right of Hitler.

Hitler and all of the Nazis were extreme leftists, most were sodomites (Pink Swastika), many were non-smokers and vegetarians. The policies of National Socialism were totally in line with the platform of the DemonKKKRat party: atheism, anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-unionism and anti-American. It's easy to envision a latter-day A. Hitler as the nominee of the KKKrat party for 2016. In fact, Bernie Sanders shares many of the Austrian Corporal's traits -- putting aside his lack of military service.

Carson also praised the surgery but did not mention glyconutrients that in 2004 he said helped him recover.

“Well, all of the cancer was contained within the gland that was removed,” Carson says. “He was able to spare my neurovascular bundles to preserve all my body functions, and the lymph nodes were negative. My status is cured!”

“I love Trump. I don’t agree about Carson he is a good man why is he being degraded?”

Easy, because Trump in running for President and Carson is ahead according to some polls. However Carson seems to be taking himself down.

You can be good and nuts at the same time.

The same accusation could be leveled against Trump.

That is, that he changed to Republican in order to damage the Republican candidates, in order to ensure that Hillary wins the White House.

I don't know if that is true. Maybe Trump thinks he can be elected President. But he is a friend of the Clintons.

Not political but,"How in the world did he ever do surgery, when he can't even keep his eyes open." As the other poster says, "he looks stoned". Raiding the Drug Cabinets too much?

Annieokie, I have met him personally several times and have friends who know the family over the past two decades. Carson is undeserving of your snarky scorn. You can have your candidate without having to trash a good person who is also running.

The NY Post lies; Trump never says Carson is nutz; lying perhaps, but not nutz. This is a typical lying headline.

Normally, you need to be nominated by your congressman or state senator to get into West Point (USMA). Perhaps the general offered to give him a recommendation, but I don’t think that would automatically get him accepted by any means.

“we have discussed this before...now Trump needs to move on.....and go after the RATS, Clinton and Obama...forget about the “primaries” and act like he has already won”

You post this over and over again, in order to make people think Primaries aren’t for the purpose of weeding out poor candidates amongst your own kind, other Pubs. It won’t work. Freepers are a lot smarter than you and know what Primaries are for; you don’t seem to, or are trying to confuse folks. It won’t work, give it up.

What all conservatives should be impressed with is Trump’s brutal efficiency in KO’ing his opponents. While Ben did a lot of this to himself, Trump did warn everyone that ‘things’ would be coming out on Ben. Everyone who challenges Trump gets torched. First Jeb, then Fiorina, then Rubio, now Ben. This is what we have all been waiting for. Someone who fights to win. Have no doubts that Trump will take Ted apart when the time is right over H-1 visas, the Corker vote, TPP and being vice chair of the NRSCC. While Ted is good on a great many issues he’s weak on several that matter. Trump is the only one who will destroy Hillary when the time is right. Trump is a winner and winners do whatever it takes to win.

I am not a Carson for President fan, but he is ok for Veterans admin, surgeon general, HHS posts. I don’t think this is anywhere near as bad as either BJ or Hillary Clinton baggage.

Hillary lied to our face about the helicopter landing under machine gun fire, about Libya and her emails.

But it should suppress his poll numbers.

Funny the press the Politico went after black Republicans like Herman Cain and Dr. Carson but not Obama.

“Trump needs to move on.....and go after the RATS, Clinton and Obama...forget about the “primaries” and act like he has already won. “

Acting like you’ve won and that being a fact are two completely different things. The primaries are not over until they’re over. There will be plenty of time to go after the RATs later next year. And the more I see of Carson, the more problematic he becomes. Same for Rubio.

It’s all part of the game making the public think they actually get to pick the President.

Trump better get control over his mouth.

Not going to win anyone who supported Carson over this way. Instead he feeds into their fears that he is a out of control loose cannon. When GOP voters see a Candidate like Trump adopting Democrat campaign tactics, they are going to be repelled away from their candidacy.

....did you ever hear of Carson in the political world until this election? NO...

That's because he only retired from neurosurgery a couple of years ago. He has been an author and speaker for years, however, and was often approached by groups wanting to understand how to help troubled youths, since he and his wife have run a foundation for many years that has supported literacy and has paid for the education of minority youths. This has of course led him to thinking about and speaking on the topic of what is going wrong in our society and its troubled communities, and as a Christian, he has never sided with the victim ideology. He has instead tried to use his rise from utter poverty (his single mother is 15 years older than himself and cannot read) to illustrate that with the help of God and personal responsibility, individuals can rise above their circumstances at birth.

His entry into this race has been a long time coming. Many groups of sponsors have urged him to run ever since Obama was elected, perhaps seeing Carson as a black man who is the exact opposite of the Marxist/socialist/victim-mongering community organizer. I really don't see any ulterior motive other than his wanting to help, a spirit he has abundantly demonstrated for decades, ever since he became affluent through his work as a brain specialist.

You know how much passion I put into supporting Trump. But I see no call for denigrating other worthy Republican candidates for public office. Carson may very well accept a cabinet or agency appointment under Trump.

I don’t know about Trump and Cruz attacking each other...I don’t think it will happen. I think the two are together somehow...don’t know just yet, but you haven’t heard anything out of both of them for each other except to support each other...
