Dr. Ben Carson recommended Friday morning that Trump’s advisors explain to him what the word “pathological” means because it does not denote “incurable.”
“It simply is an adjective that describes something that is highly abnormal,” Carson said. “And something that, fortunately, I’ve been able to be delivered from for half a century now.”Carson confessed in his autobiography that he had a violent “pathological” temper as a teenager and claims to have changed after he embraced Christianity.
Trump likened Carson’s “pathological” temper years ago to a “child molester” during a campaign rally in Iowa Thursday night and claimed Carson lied about stabbing his friend.
“If you’re a child molester — a sick puppy, you’re a child molester — there’s no cure for that,” he said. “There’s only one cure. We don’t want to talk about that cure. That’s the ultimate cure.”
The New York billionaire mocked a story in question about Carson’s attempting to stab a friend or relative and the knife blade breaking.
“He went after a friend and he lunged that knife into the stomach of his friend. But low and behold, it hit the belt. It hit the belt and the knife broke. Give me a break. Amazingly the belt stayed totally flat. And the knife broke,” Trump mocked. “He goes into the bathroom for a couple hours, and comes out, and now he’s religious, and the people of Iowa believe him. Give me a break.”The press asked Carson about Trump’s ‘child molester’ comparison. Carson said bluntly that he doesn’t believe Trump called him a child molester despite the media’s instigation.
“I always find it a little amusing what people in the press like to say—‘You compared this, therefor they are the same’—I don’t buy all that stuff.”
