Donald Trump has now started his attack on Ben Carson, contrary to his previous remarks that he would only fights back under the criticism of others. Furthermore Trump has stated, " Carson could not aggressively tackle trade in the way Trump has pledged to do and said the country needs a "special leader" with "tremendous energy" as president." While reading this article I was wondering what Trump meant by having "tremendous energy" as president and why did he chose to insult Carson this way, especially when he states, "We informed Ben, but he was sleeping." I found Trump's recent onslaught of attacks to be interesting because perhaps Trump may be beginning to get nervous at his now dropping in the polls to second place and is finally seeing Carson as a real possible threat. It is difficult to imagine though that Trump might lose his confidence since even when he first saw himself lose first place in Iowa, Trump was in denial by stating that he disagreed with the results of the Quinnipiac University and Des Moines Register/ Bloomberg Politics polls as he claimed that both the polling groups do not like him at all. In the current interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Trump finally states that he accepts the polls' results, but is "surprised and does not understand them."

I think Trump is attacking Ben because of the tie in the recent Iowa pools. He feels threatened that he is not the most likeable and the fact that he is losing people's votes. Personally to me Trump would not make the most ideal president just because of the way he bashes his opponents. It is not fair and it shows his personality. Do we really want someone like this in office?
