We posted yesterday that Ben Carson and Donald Trump have “buried the hatchet” as Ben is now publicly backing the Republican presidential nominee.
The retired neurosurgeon spoke at a news conference at Trump’s private club where he stated, “Some people have gotten the impression that Donald Trump is this person who is not malleable, who does not have the ability to listen, and to take information in and make wise decisions. And that’s not true…He’s much more cerebral than that.”
He also hinted that there are “two Donald Trumps”…. Gemini problems (no shade I’m one too)… anyways Carson says theres the person we all see and then theres the private Trumo who “sits there and considers things very carefully.”
Ben also took to social media to make it official:
I endorse @realDonaldTrump. It’s time to unite behind the candidate who will beat Hillary Clinton and return government to, "We the People"

Many people fight for change in DC. @realDonaldTrump is a leader with an outsider’s perspective & the vision, guts & energy to get it done.

Heres what his full endorsement said:
Our country is at a crossroads and in the midst of a moral crisis. We must be careful not to continue our current path, which is littered with uncertainty at best and ruination at worst. We can make changes to our system and that change starts now with, “We the People.”
We can have disagreements, but it is critical that we not allow those disagreements to divide us as a party or as a country.
It is with that in mind that I endorse Donald Trump for President. I have known Donald for many years. He is a successful businessman who has built a recognizable global brand that no one can question. His experience as a businessman is exactly what we need to move our economic engine in the right direction and empower those who have been left out of the American dream for far too long.
With our support, I am sure that we can help restore America’s values and faith.
I know there will be some who want to underscore our differences and others will wish to return to statements he has made about me in the past, but that is politics. As a man of faith, all is forgiven and we have moved beyond the past, as the future is now.
Join me in supporting and rallying around the only candidate the GOP has that can defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016 and return America to that shining city on a hill.
Well the announcement comes just a week after Ben Carson stepped out of the race but his backing does beg the question, ‘Is there a Donald Trump that we all aren’t seeing?’
