Donald Trump on Saturday raised questions about Republican presidential challenger Ben Carson's faith with recent surveys showing the retired pediatric neurosurgeon leading among voters in Iowa and Wisconsin. (snip) The Washington Post reports. "And, look, I don't have to say it, I'm Presbyterian.
"Can you believe it? Nobody believes I'm Presbyterian," the billionaire developer added. "I'm Presbyterian. I'm Presbyterian.
"I'm Presbyterian. Boy, that's down the middle of the road folks, in all fairness," he said. "I mean, Seventh-day Adventist, I don't know about. I just don't know about."

I believe it was Carson that questioned Trump’s faith first, dear Sun. That’s the way I remember it.
Of course they’re blind to the Don’s phony outrage. The Don can do nor say anything wrong. He is the all powerful Oz.
You need to get with the program.
LOL !
Donald Trump was trying to trick you, for POLITICAL REASONS.
There are many, many sources that agree that Trump was QUESTIONING Carson’s religion, like this one:
“Trump isnât apologizing for questioning Carsonâs religion”

The difference is that some have questioned whether Trump is a Christian at all. Trump has never said that any of the other candidates weren’t Christians. T
“....Trump said he didnât know ....”
And you ACCEPTED that?
Trump always says he “didn’t know,” or gives “hints” to put doubts in voters’ minds.
“Desperation ....”
I KNOW, look at all the Trump supporters flocking to this thread in such short time. :)
The real difference is that Trump tried to put doubts in voters’ minds for POLITICAL REASONS. Not nice.
OK, I won’t vote for Carson OR Trump, but ESPECIALLY Trump because he attacks with mistruths or half-truths whenever a candidate gets high poll ratings.
I saw nothing about that in my research, but if you have an excerpt w/link, please post it.
Trump gave them fair warning not to attack him. Now you complain when he did after they did. Try not to be such a sore loser.
“Of course theyâre blind to the Donâs phony outrage. The Don can do nor say anything wrong. ..”
Some of them are a lot like Obama supporters.
A great many of them, just need more education and are GETING IT, which is why Donald’s momentum in the national polls is decreasing.
It wouldn’t do me any good to post anything further. You are blind.
Really? So what is the attacks on Trump’s Christianity about if not political? I’m sorry but Trump can be accused of somethings but what he didn’t doesn’t even rise to the level of questioning ones faith. However attacks like those by the Pope and Glenn Beck (a Cruz Surrogate) go far beyond anything Trump has done. He made a mild remark about Carson being a Seventh Day Adventist as he didn’t attack him or question is very Christianity for being one.
I see you could not find an excerpt with link, huh?
Trump also questioned Cruz’s faith.
“How can Ted Cruz be an Evangelical Christian when he lies so much and is so dishonest?” A consistent Trump refrain has been that Cruz can’t be evangelical because he is Cuban-American. “Just remember this â you gotta remember, in all fairness, to the best of my knowledge, not too many evangelicals come out of Cuba, OK?â Trump has said.
What part of the video that I posted did you not understand that Carson attacked Trump first?
