“Are we talking about the same Ben Carson who Trump compared to a child molester?”

Lie of omission;

“Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions.”

Trump was comparing the pathological aspect of what Carson himself said about his anger. Carson used the word “pathological”.

Ahh, so he just conveniently chose to insert the “Child molester” part into the topic he was talking about.
