White House hopeful Donald Trump on Thursday poked fun at GOP presidential rival Ben Carson for his theory that the Egyptian pyramids were used to store grain, not serve as tombs for pharaohs.
"I think I'll have to put that into my repertoire when I talk about Ben," the real estate tycoon said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"That was a strange ... that was a strange deal," Trump added.
BuzzFeed on Wednesday published a video of Carson's 1998 commencement address at Andrews University, which was founded by Sevenths-day Adventists, during which he said he believed the biblical figure Joseph built the pyramids.
"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids in order to store grain," Carson said during the speech.

What storage space in the pyramids? Good God, that is the dumbest among the many he has said.
“To say the Pyramids were built for grain storage is as ignorant as saying they were built by space aliens.”
Actually, it’s less ignorant to be open to space aliens than thinking the pyramids were for grain storage. Totally idiotic thing for Carson to say.

Tell me Mr. Pay Grade, how is it a smear if Carson said this?
Why yes I did. Thank you.
= :^)
It was a stupid comment, but McCain said far dumber things. McCain even claimed that Obama was a patriot and qualified to be president!
This is a perfect example of an leftist attack against Trump.
Thanks for ID'ing yourself.
You even have an anti-Trump message in your tag line, as you spew leftist comments!
That’s very inquisitive Mr. Pay Grade.
This issue ranks up there with fantasy football.
The big mystery is whether Carson is taking his own medications or whether he has gone off them. The boy ain’t right.
I sense a "Yeeeeeaaaahaaaaaa!" moment.
Rush just said Trump better be careful in attacking Carson because it could hurt him, and I agree. However, Rush also believes these polls that show Carson in the lead. Only in the drive-by polls, which is highly suspicious. Trump needs to stay on message and stop these ad hominmen attacks on the other candidates. Attack their policies - make a few snide remarks - but stop the personal attacks. He’s doing the very thing which caused me to not support him in the beginning and he is reverting back to this. I don’t think Ic an vote for Dr.Carson. I just can’t.
From my research, Joseph built under ground silos for the grain. There are hieroglyphics which show people carrying the sacks of grain up from the underground facilities.
Freepers sometimes crack me up. When Trump bashes Jeb, everyone loves it because Jeb is Jeb and he deserves it. When Trump ripped Kasich, FR was all for it because Kasich is a goofball and annoying. When Trump bashed Rubio, FR loves it because Rubio is for amnesty. But when Trump says anything about Carson, even though Ben is boring, had a wacky religion and has absolutely no qualifications to be President, he’s suddenly off limits?? Why would that be.....??
Maybe he meant mustard seed...
I have a mad desire to post “The Church Lady”.
