Moments later, Trump told the crowd in Fort Dodge that he could not possibly understand why anyone supports Carson, who is essentially tied with Trump for support in the first-voting state.

But setting Trump’s psychological assessment aside, there is no question that Carson’s campaign has taken a few major hits in recent weeks, as journalists and opposition researchers have found numerous untruths and inconsistencies in his storied biography, not to mention odd theories about the Egyptian pyramids.
Mr Trump’s campaign released an online video on Friday that continued to question Dr Carson’s account.
“So he’s a pathological, damaged camper”, Trump said during his Thursday speech.
But what the polls are telling us-what they’ve been telling us-is that the leaders in the Republican race aren’t Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz; they’re Donald Trump and Ben Carson.
“He just went off the rails. They can’t stop you”. Then Trump took it one step further and added, “If you’re a child molester there’s no cure”.
Then we have Ben Carson showing just how delusional he is, claiming that he has better sources about Syria than the White House, doubling down on his belief that China is involved in the fighting in Syria. You would know something about pathological, ‘ she wrote. Trump said Carson had a “pathological disease” that was incurable, the way a child molester’s condition, according to Trump, is incurable.
“I would bomb the shit out of them”, he said to robust applause.
Trump zeroed in on the latter in an address to supporters.
Dr Carson’s ability to overcome his anger and an impoverished childhood to become a world-renowned neurosurgeon has been a central part of his personal story. More specifically, it revolved around Donald Trump speaking in Ft. It was not specified what Carson’s prayer would be for Trump, but I have a hunch this is the music he will be playing at the prayer service. He also asked “How stupid are the people from Iowa?”.
One of Trump’s other rivals, fellow candidate for the GOP nomination Carly Fiorina, responded to Trump’s comments with derision instead of prayer.
“And the people of Iowa believe him”.
On Iowans: “How stupid are the people of Iowa?”
Carson nevertheless called Trump’s comments as “completely gratuitous” and advised that the controversial business tycoon be taught about the correct meaning of the word “pathological”.
“He’s a good guy but he’s been spending a tremendous amount of advertising money in Iowa”, Trump said.
