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."

I think some freeper has posted that they watched and Trump did not say that.
Cruz who voted Yes with the Uniparty traitors on the Corker Iranian Terrorist Nuc Bomb funding bill that destroyed the Treaty laws in the Constitution requiring 66 votes to pass !
Then we find out the Corker Iranian scam was all about lifting the Sanctions on the Iranian billions for Boeing and the Banks !
Then, Cruz who voted Twice for cloture On TPA which also wiped out the treaty laws requiring 66 votes . I guess those treaty laws don't count for Dear Ted .Thanks to the treasonous TPa we are going to get Tpp pass with a simple majority or better yet .Tpp will the votes is not taken in 90 days .
I loved when Ted told his supporters to not believe the Internet about Tpa or his voting for cloture twice !
Please spare us the BS about Cruz and the constitution .
He trashed it quite nicely this year for his billionaire donors .
CNN and Burnett and the rest of the Media need to ask presidential candidate Carson that question since they “really” want to know what ‘disease’ he spoke about.
There is no such teaching beyond a discussion where Michal represents a preincarnate theophany of Jesus Christ or not.
Still raving incoherently, I see.

You might want to check this out before defending Carson.
Ellen G. White, the false prophetess who founded SDA, taught this. I had and SDA Freeper spent several hours trying to convince me that Jesus and the Archangel Michael are the same being.
Hmmmm. Donald is, er, outspoken. I like it in the ordinary course of events but not sure he should go there.
He could be right but he’s not a psychiatrist ... not that they know a lot ... worked for one for years ...
It's not surprising that you would be dismissive of the power of prayer. Most liberals are.
Trump just laid it on the line and used Carson’s own words.
If people like Carson and dump Trump, then we lose. I cannot support Carson because he’s weak and now sounds defensive about all the attention he now is getting. Trump in his speech tonight,said hey if that’s what you people want then I’ll just go back to my businesses. (If Trump would of said any of these odd things,in a book or in a interview that he hit his mother, stabbed a friend etc., he’d be over with already.)Go Trump!
I agree. Donald did not have to do this.
He should have been smart enough to realize that Ben Carson would implode on his own. Even though Ben has been masterful in turning the attacks of the press around on the press and to his advantage, people are learning stuff about him through those attacks that they didn’t know.
I certainly did not know that this almost sleepily benign hero surgeon tried to stab his mother or had a pathological temper. (his own term).
That gives me pause.
But Trump does what he does and maybe he can ride it out.
Speaking of hammers, doesn’t Carson look a little like MC Hammer?
When Carson was mad at his mom, he probably thought “It’s Hammer Time. You can’t touch this.”
You don't seem to get it.
Carson isn't my candidate. However, I refused to jump on board with the leftwing media attacks on him, and I'll call out Trump's remark for what it is, as well.
There is such a thing as basic common decency. The phrase "child molester" should never have been used, nor should Trump have attempted to "diagnose" Carson. I think some of the people trying to defend Trump know it, but they're desperate to hold onto him at any cost. Unfortunately.
The man simply can't control his mouth. He doesn't belong anywhere near the Oval Office.
I hope so too...not needed. We shall see - this is fairly mild by his standards.
I am a Cruz supporter and I have no problem with Trump’s remarks regarding Dr. Carson’s own written words. I find it troubling as did Trump.
Good point! The trying to hit his mother with a hammer story is quite troubling. Like Obama told all he would fundamentally change this country....we need to ake a candidate at his or her word.
I took the SAT before they took the analogies out, so I understand what Trump meant. In fact, I couldn’t see what all the fuss was about.
Trump has to hire a lot of people. He has to know a lot about human beings and which ones belong in his business empire. It’s not a social service organization, and neither is the presidency.
