Donald Trump: Carson's 'Pathological Disease' Is a Problem

Donald Trump, running neck-and-neck for the GOP presidential front-runner position with Ben Carson, joined the attack on his rival on Sunday, accusing the retired neurosurgeon of "pathological disease" over the disputed stories in his biography. "He writes a book where he went after his mother, hit her on the head or wanting to hit her on the head with a hammer, hitting a friend in the face with a padlock, hard in the face," Trump said Sunday on "Meet the Press." Trump sounded doubtful of Carson's story that he attempted to stab a friend at age 14, only to be thwarted by a belt buckle. "If you know belt buckles, they turn and they twist," he said. "I don't think they could have stopped a knife with the force of a strong man." Trump continued his attack on Carson for having "pathological disease." On Friday's "O'Reilly Factor," Trump suggested Carson might need to "start taking pills." "If you have pathological disease, that's a problem," Trump said on "Meet the Press. "He wrote it, I didn't write it. He's going to have to explain a lot of things away." Trump then ticked off a list of other stories being questioned by the media: a West Point scholarship offered at a dinner with Gen. William Westmoreland and the Egyptian pyramids being built by Joseph to store grain. Host Chuck Todd said Trump had "done a political trick" by referencing every negative Carson story and asked if that's because he's a political threat. "I think everyone's a threat to me," Trump responded. Source: Reagan Reports               Newsmax
