Ben Carson: Trump isn't getting the credit for being incredibly courageous



“Absolutely, they’re not getting the credit for it,” said Carson. “And for that sake, you know, neither is the president getting the credit for being incredibly courageous. You know, imposing the travel ban so early on. Now you have people saying, oh, you were too late. The same people who were telling people to go out and have fun and to mix.”

“My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain,” Carson said in a 1998 commencement speech at Andrews University, unearthed by BuzzFeed. “Now all the archaeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big — when you stop and think about it, and I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time — to store that much grain.”

a cookie? For showing up late and NOW doing the literal BARE minimum that his job requires (and he's doing a poor-mediocre job at best)?

Trump isn't getting credit for being a lot of things he isn't.

Sorry, Ben, but that's as it should be.

As if anybody should care at all about what he has to say due to a title he holds for a position he is not qualified for other than to destroy and gut what he can while he is there as one of the Orange Reaper's loyal henchmen.

He doesn't talk about his auto-lobotomy at all. It was obviously a bad idea.
