Trump: Calling Carson pathological was ‘part of the game'

For Donald Trump, calling Ben Carson "pathological" was just another thing he had to do to win.

“Well, it was part of the game," the GOP presidential front-runner told "Fox and Friends" on Friday, shortly before he was set to receive the retired neurosurgeon's endorsement at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort.

Trump had been asked by co-host Brian Kilmeade if that was, indeed, just part of the "game" that is the Republican presidential cycle.

"And all I was doing was trying to say exactly what he said about his growing up, which was tough," Trump said. "And I just, all I did was read parts of what he said and then I hoped, but it all worked out.”

When Carson overtook Trump in national polling in the fall, the Manhattan real-estate developer attacked portions of his biography, comparing accounts of Carson's violent incidents as an adolescent to that of a "child molester" in that both are "pathological."

“As an example: child molesting. You don’t cure these people. You don’t cure a child molester. There’s no cure for it. Pathological, there’s no cure for that," Trump said in November. At one point, Trump even did a mock re-enactment of Carson's account of the time he tried to stab someone, only to fail because of a belt buckle.

Appearing earlier on the same program, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said he had not spoken to Carson since the day he suspended his campaign. Asked about the endorsement, Rubio downplayed it, saying he has his “fair share” of support from governors across the country.

So when Trump calls Ted Cruz a nasty liar, he is in fact lying himself. He just admitted that charges coming out of his mouth are 100% unadulterated bullshit. It's all a game after all.

Must be part of the 'Art of the Deal' somehow.  :whistle:  Trump is a whackadoo!
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
