You say: “Almost like he had been lied to or deceived, like there is something else out there. I have not seen him attack any of the other candidates quite that way.”
Trump trumpets his reason for attacking Carson at the very beginning of his rant. Take off the ear muffs.
He’s FURIOUS that Carson is still polling high and close to him. He’s furious with the press, with the people of the state, “How stupid are the people of Iowa. How stupid are the people of this country...” . someone else is getting attention and a consummate narcissist can’t Take it. And if he and the media manage to sink Carson - the next one in line that gets close to him will be attacked with the same erratic fury...
Take note that the audience were taken aback - very little enthusiasm/tepid applause ..
It’s bad enough that the low info people will make every excuse in the book for his behavior - but it’s really dishearte4ning to see so many Freepers make pretzels out of themselves to ignore what’s in front of them; The man is not presidential material.
His handlers have been able to reign him in for a bit and calm him down - but no one can keep someone with such a high level of narcissism in control for long...O’bummer has nothing on Trump when it comes to this. (Do a search on ‘symptoms of narcissism” - and be honest with yourselves, folks.
“I’m first and Carson’s second - I don’t understand it ... “ and he goes on to link Carson’s ‘disorder’ with child molesters - over the top.
He rants on for 9 minutes on Carson.

Narcissism is a “pathological disorder”

I understand that you hate Trump and Trump supporters.
My point is that Trump has called Bush low energy, Rubio someone who sweats a lot/drinks a lot of water, Lindsey as someone who asks for contributions and then attacks him, Carson as too nice with not enough experience. All spot on and not vicious, all counter-attacks in responce to attacks on him.
Something besides polls caused this in my opinion.
