I think it’s about time we got down to brass tacks...

Carson has done himself in with writing what he did in his books, and all the other stuff that has come out about him, by himself I might add....

Good for Trump!!!

And if people are upset with Trump for saying what he did, you might want to read this:

and this:
Then why is he saying all these thing? PATHOLICAL IS WHAT HE IS:

Defining characteristics of pathological lying include:
The stories told are usually dazzling or fantastical, but never breach the limits of plausibility, which is key to the pathological liar’s tact. The tales are not a manifestation of delusion or some broader type of psychosis; upon confrontation, the teller can admit them to be untrue, even if unwillingly.
The fabricative tendency is chronic; it is not provoked by the immediate situation or social pressure so much as it is an innate trait of the personality. There is some element of dyscontrol present.
A definitely internal, not an external, motive for the behavior can be discerned clinically: e.g., long-lasting extortion or habitual spousal battery might cause a person to lie repeatedly, without the lying being a pathological symptom.[2]
The stories told tend toward presenting the liar favorably. The liar “decorates their own person”[3] by telling stories that present them as the hero or the victim. For example, the person might be presented as being fantastically brave, as knowing or being related to many famous people, or as having great power, position, or wealth.

Pathological lying may also present as false memory syndrome, where the sufferer genuinely believes that fictitious (imagined) events have taken place. The sufferer may believe that he or she has accomplished superhuman feats or awe-inspiring acts of altruism and love — or has committed equally grandiose acts of diabolical evil, for which the sufferer must atone, or indeed has already atoned in her/his fantasies.

I wonder if Trump’s anger last night was at the Republican party. Maybe he found out some way they might succeed at sabotaging him. I don’t know whether Romney is a viable possibility or not.

The only reason I think that is not the source of his anger is that I don’t see him lashing out at Ben Carson over that, unless Carson was involved in the intrigue somehow.

Your last paragraph in what you posted seems to fit especially well in explaining Carson, doesn’t it.

Beginning to believe Trump is a narcissistic egomaniac. What about his long time contributions to Dems, and flip-flop on issues? Trump is only looking out for Trump. His EGO is the problem.
