After dropping out of the race for Republican Party nomination, Dr. Ben Carson endorsed Donald Trump. He then claimed credit for coaching Trump to be more ‘’presidential.”
What exactly does it mean to be presidential in terms of GOP standards? Does it mean having opinions that are totally divorced from facts? Does it mean being xenophobic, racist, misogynistic, and generally an idiot?
If that is the case, then Donald Trump is the most presidential of all Republican candidates. There is no need for any coaching from a neurosurgeon, especially for someone who could technically be considered brain dead.
Carson was quoted in a recent article published in the Politico website:
“I’ve had talks about being presidential, about toning it down a bit, appealing to a broader group of people.
“You did notice that he wasn’t nearly as caustic in the last debate,” he added, noting it came after Carson joined Trump’s team. “People appreciated that. It’s a matter of cultivating and capitalizing on that.”
Perhaps he does indeed have some clout in the Trump camp and he sincerely believes that he is helping the latter to be less of a demagogue, but his sincerity could be on a similar level as his sincere belief that the pyramids were used as grain silos.
A clip of the 1998 video of Carson’s speech as a college commencement speaker, stating his base-less pet theory was published by BuzzFeed News last year.
The remaining GOP candidates have been busy ramping up their seriously deranged campaigns, which have included comparing the sizes of their penises and battling over whose wife is the sluttiest. Now the presidential candidates are debating about the issue of who has the most scandalous illicit affairs.
Mudslinging and low-blow attacks among the Republican presidential candidates are being blamed on the public’s appetite for scandalous stories according to Carson.
Bottom line: No amount of coaching from pseudo-archaeologist Ben Carson would make Trump more presidential in a civilized sense.
