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."

Donald baby, we need to talk.
He may be right, but it may backfire.
As long as he’s not calling Carson a child molester I’m not righteously indignant. Carson has to go and soon. Trump needs to wrap this nomination up.
Trump is right , like Gay can’t be cured.
Trump, you’re disgusting. Go sit down and shut up.
Cruz 2016
Yes you can cure it. It’s called “Jesus”, who is clearly the leader in Carson’s life.
I respect Donald Trump’s business acumen. I do have a problem with him trying to pass himself as a follower of Christ, and of making ridiculous comments about some of his competitors.
oh my!
Depends on how stupid the electorate is. If they still love Carson after those Mannatech comments, his amnesty, his TPP support, his weirdo opinions about the pyramids being built by Joseph for grain storage, the painting he keeps in his home where he poses with black Jesus, then, yes, it will backfire.
“Yes you can cure it. It’s called “Jesusâ€, who is clearly the leader in Carson’s life.”
And I’m going to support someone who tried to kill his mother?
There’s probably a lot of candidates that didn’t....
Hogwash! The whole point of Dr. Carson telling about his violent past is that he found salvation in Christ and turned his life around. Trump has probably alienated a lot of Christians with this guttersniping.
Why he opted for Black Jesus?
Does Jesus race is a problem for Carson?
What is disgusting is a kid trying to hit his mother in the head with a hammer...
The remark isn’t defensible. I think you know that.
If Carson were not a member of a cult that teaches that Jesus is the Archangel Michael I would believe what you say as true. Instead I think he just exchanged one form of deception for another.
Religion aside, Carson is the most woefully ill equipped candidate I have ever seen run for President.
For a man who says he is not a politician, this is some dirty politics.
I prefer disagreeing with policy to launching personal attacks. The Clintons infested campaigns with the “politics of personal destruction” and it continues.
Fuhgeddabout it.....he's in this for his ego, and his ego only -- there's no listening to be had from his ears. He's enjoying all this way too much.
As one Freeper put it, “I did not have supplement relations with that company, Mannatech Lewinsky”.
