Carson: Trump is too humble to talk about helping others

Ben Carson wants Donald Trump to start speaking about what he has done to help people but worries the Republican nominee is too humble to do so.

Carson said he was hopeful that Trump would be able “to put out many of the stories that I am very familiar with, of things that he has done to help people who have been in very, very difficult situations,” Carson said. “He feels that, you know, that's self-praising, he doesn't want to do it.”

The retired neurosurgeon and Trump surrogate was speaking on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday when he was asked why the Republican nominee had a difficult time speaking about loss and connecting with people who have experienced loss. The question followed a rough week for Trump where, among other things, he got into it with the family of a soldier who was killed in Iraq in 2004.

Carson disputed the notion that Trump doesn't talk about loss.

“He's talked about enormous loss that we've had in this country by allowing radical Islamic extremists to run rampant without having a coherent plan for how to destroy them, not just to contain them, but to destroy them,” Carson said. “And the implications of that for all families who are losing service members is significant.”
