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."

Well said
I would not even argue with you as I probably would have left it alone but Trump seems to have a knack for knowing what to do and say and when.
“Trump, you’re disgusting. Go sit down and shut up.”
I think Trump smacks his opponents to knock them off their game. The opponents’s response to Trump’s smacks is the rest of the story.
You sound like you have reluctantly made up your mind. It is always good to be a little careful.
Who exactly has the issue here? Carson, who admitted to his previous temper situation, or a psychologist wannabe who takes it upon himself to declare someone’s childhood temper as “incurable” and similar to child molestation?
I think many evangelicals in Iowa will understand what little donnie never has understood: the healing power of God.
Talking this way only demeans little donnie.
I agree but I don’t blame Trump for wanting him gone. He’s a distraction. Now I guess some of the GOPe want to draft Mitt Romney so that may be another reason Trump wants to clear the path as soon as possible. He’s so close to wrapping this thing up.
Wow too hard so they removed analogies from SAT. That’s dumb. Lotta whining here.
Cute.
Carson’s followers are not going to see this in him.... they are going to HEAR Trump saying ugly things about him. It will probably backfire and hurt Donald. I want a fighter to be the President. A FIGHTER!! we need. I still like Carson, but not as President. I want Trump and Cruz. Donald, Please don’t go mess it up! I’m counting on you!
What part of [PATHOLOGICAL] you are having trouble understanding?
First of all, the SDA publicly claim to uphold the Trinity. Trinitarian language is used all over their writings. The problem is that they redefine those same words, and thus invent a three-god theology as a result. The information I have shown you are from SDA theologians, as well as the writings of Ellen White and the rewritten scripture of their "Clear Word" Bible.
I would challenge your DiL (I don't know what that stands for) to define the Trinity, and see if her definition fits with the Biblical teaching.
“Butthurt?”
You and I both know you’d be screeching louder than a banshee under a full moon in the Irish mountains if someone had leveled that same insinuation against Trump.
It has nothing to do with Christ, and everything to do with [PATHOLOGICAL] which even Christ has not found a cure for. You are born with it, and you will die with it.
Just like a pathological liar, pathological child molester, pathological kleptomaniac.
It reminds me of the left describing pedophiles as being “able to change” while homosexuals are “born that way”. They say this only because they don’t want the child molesters going to prison.
Before homosexuality was decriminalized, and then removed from the APA list of psychological disorders, the `rats made the same argument for homos.
Of course, once the pervert enablers get the law changed so pedophiles can legally court our small children, then they will be described as ... having been born that way.
I think that was Trump’s point.
Like psychopathology subjects, say a `Dexter Morgan’ and sociopathology study subjects, e.g. Barack Obama, people with pathologically violent tempers exhibiting as a neurosis are, well—the condition can be treated with chemicals but that’s who they are, whether they manage to control it outwardly or find Jesus or whatever gets them through the night.
Trump is scummier than the mainstream media.
Nice talking to you.
Carson could do us all a favor what he means by ‘pathological disease’ since he is the one running for president. The analogy here probably came to Trump since it was Carson who acted violently as a child.
I understand what pathology means.
Do you understand what unnecessary provocation means?
Exposing truth of your own words is showing your own true colors? Are you sure you understand what [PATHOLOGICAL] means?
