Donald Trump slammed Ben Carson Thursday morning, one day after the retired neurosurgeon questioned the businessman's faith.
Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day" that Carson, who was the first surgeon to separate conjoined twins joined at the head, was just an "OK doctor" and said "you look at his faith and I think you're not going to find so much."
Trump also called Carson's views on abortion "horrendous." Carson is staunchly opposed to abortion now, but was an abortion-rights supporter when he was younger and performed medical research on aborted fetuses in 1992.

[”Trump can do no wrong. Get over it.”]
If sincere, that is a scary attitude.
Only G-d can do no wrong.

Why not? Carson attacked Trump on faith and acted like he was so holy and humble. So, Trump strikes back on his faith.
Maybe there has been a threat to his family. This is what happened to Perot.
Why is Carson allowed to change his views, but Trump isn’t? Carson attacked Trump first, also on immigration.

“Republican presidential candidates Ben Carson and Donald Trump were criticized by pro-life activists this week after they waffled on their positions regarding abortion, research on aborted baby body parts and funding Planned Parenthood.
After Carson indicated support for the abortion drug RU-486 in the case of rape or incest, Cavuto asked Carson, “At the point of conception do you see that as life Doctor?”
“Certainly once the heart starts beating, certainly at that point,” replied Carson.”

It's to bad, he isn't really going to go anywhere now, I don't think they will elect him as POTUS right after the one we have in there right now, he's to soft, and I just don't think we need ‘soft’ right now, we need ‘brash’ hard line, stick up your nose type of guy and that's why I like Trump....
Wait, isn’t/wasn’t Trump pro-choice? Why is Trump allowed to “change” his views, but Carson isn’t?
Let’s SEE... BOTH TRUMP ...and... Carson.........
DID NOT KNOW THAT THING WAS AN Actual BABY?..
OR didn’t CARE... (most likely, odds are still don’t)..
Trump has made many public statements that would cause anyone paying attention to question his faith. But the point I was making is that Trump was pro-choice until very recently - so the adage about people who live in glass houses comes to mind. By attacking on this front, Trump highlights his own pro-abortion past. And unless I am mistaken, Carson came to a pro-life position a long time before Donald did.
Cruz KNOWS....... what a baby IS and ISN’T..
I agree.
which one was an actual Doctor in the medical arena?
I don’t care about either one. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of his statement.
Whatever. This little play distracts from real issues. I am sick to death of the both of them. I do concur with your last statement. :)
The restrictions and conditions of legal immigration themselves prohibit the likelihood of most of these people ever returning.
>> If sincere, that is a scary attitude <<
Not really an attitude. Just a “working hypothesis” that (so far) successfully explains/predicts Trump’s appeal to his cultist followers.
You are right.
Does anyone know if Donald Trump has always been Pro-Life?
Yes; he has been PRO-DEATH most of his political life (AND A DEMOCRAT)
but had a “JUDAS” moment recently... and is now conservative (PROBABLY)..
if you are conservative youself then “turn your cheek” (NO not that one)
BEND OVER AND ASSUME the position..
