Trump pounces on Carson’s West Point ‘lie’
The Washington Post ^ | November 6, 2015 | Elise Viebeck

Posted on 11/06/2015 12:05:44 PM PST by familyop

No surprise here: Donald Trump was the first to react to news Friday that Ben Carson was never offered admission at West Point, despite his past claims that he was offered a scholarship to the military academy.

"WOW, one of the many lies by Ben Carson! Big story," Trump tweeted, the latest in a string of attacks on Carson by the business mogul.

Kind of a weak comeback. Sort of “Nuh uh.” Is that all you’ve got?

Insatiable, are you? Want more? Later, I’m hungry. I’d rather eat a good hamburger than spar with you. Infinitely more palatable.

Poor judgment.

"You hate Trump. Who would listen to anything you say about Trump. You hate him."

Personally I wouldn't listen to you; you hero-worship your candidate and you've described his potential time in office as his "reign."

I had a pretty good idea of what schools would offer me before I applied.

When my sons were ready for college, we had a pretty good idea of what they would be offered before they applied

Even though by the time they were in high.school, they didn’t want go to the,academies, they knew that appointment to them came with tuition, room & board, paid in full.,

Ahh, the Johnny One Note returns. That word “reign” really sticks in your craw, doesn’t it. Good, I’ll make sure to use it more frequently, just to get your goat, which is easy to do. Now you can crawl back in your hole again. Buh bye.

I’m not sure Carson is lying.

I think it may be Politico who is lying about what Carson said in order to make it appear that Carson is lying.

Oh, THEY wouldn’t do that,,,,,,,would they?

Trump is a pos who would sell out his mother for an advantage. I will never vote for him for anything.

You really don't understand why that is, do you? Because it isn't about the Constitution or the country for you. It's about your faux-king.

" Good, I’ll make sure to use it more frequently, just to get your goat, which is easy to do. Now you can crawl back in your hole again. Buh bye."

Use it all you like. Every time you do, more Freepers and lurkers will see how deeply some Trump supporters have dived into his cult of personality, and they'll be (rightfully) turned off.

The little slips belie exactly where your mind is, "reign" being one of them.

Before we spend any more time of Politico smear jobs we need this question answered by Politco. There is an “air of desperation” wafting around DC these days, centered on Politco.

West Point told ABC news there is no way to prove, or disprove, Dr Carson’s statements about West Point.

If there is no evidence from West Point, what is the source for Politicos much repeated smear of Dr Carson?

Think the American People have a right to know who gave Politico this fraudulent information? Politico needs to provide their evidence because right now there is NOTHING to back up their accusation.

Seems we might have Rathergate 2.0 brewing here

Thanks. By his actions and words, it’s clear trump has little idea of the proper role of the president in a constitutional republic.

Hopefully this is true.

Oh, I see, Carson was lying with his own words that he said on his Facebook post too? His own words, mind you. Read his Facebook comment on FR link to refresh your memory. Keep on keeping on with the self deception.
