On CNN today, Donald Trump had another moment that is sure to haunt news and social media for days, when he made a comparison between Dr. Ben Carson and child molesters:
He said he's pathological, somebody said he's got pathological disease, other people said he said in the book, I haven't seen it but I know it's in the book that he's got a pathological temper or temperament. That's a big problem because you don't cure that. That's like, you know, I could say, they say you don't cure, as an example, child molester. 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.
Trump added "I'm not saying anything, I'm not saying anything other than pathological is a very serious disease," but he was arguably well past the point of no return by then. Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord was on later to discuss the comment and said the Trump just "reached out for something that he thought was pathological."
Yes, well .. reach better, guy. When a CNBC moderator made a comic book comparison with Trump, the Donald and his fans were outraged. Imagine if that moderator had said this about Trump.
The option they are giving us is that either Trump is too dumb to know comparing pediatric brain surgeon Dr. Carson to a child molester would be outrageous and go viral, or he knew that's exactly what would happen and maliciously made the comparison. That's what we're left with. Dumb or malicious.
Unless you want to chose both.
Fair??
Trump is really showing his true character.
I think Trump thinks himself so superior to others that any attack, no matter how untrue, is fair game.
Trump is a malignant narcissist. Disgusting how conservatives have fallen for him.
Yeah fair. Politics is a full contact sport.
Full contacts does not mean comparing your political opponents to child molesters! What is wrong with you?
What’s wrong with me? Im fed up with nice guys and soft approaches. I dare say Im not alone. Carson is weak and screwy.
It is fine to be for tough, aggressive leadership. That part of Trump I like too.
