When I was young I had a landlord that lived on-property. I rented a carriage house that was attached to his main house garden. He was sleepy-quiet most of the time, like Ben Carson, but when he wasn’t sleepy-quite he was a maniac. Seriously agitated, itchy and angry. Storming around. Yelling, breaking things. So much so that I padlocked the door that led from my cottage to the garden a few months into the lease. Just before I moved I found out he was on a psychotropic med schedule. When he was agitated was when he was off his meds.
Ben’s speech patterns and facial expressions are very similar to Michael’s (the landlord). Maybe Ben’s medicated.
We had a neighbor kid whose mood swings were so bad he went from absolutely angelic to genocidal maniac without rhyme or reason.
He was constantly in trouble and his family was going broke trying to keep him out of jail.
They were even afraid to leave him alone with his younger brother and sisters.
His parents finally got him to a doctor who would help him. He still has the occasional small fit of temper, but nothing like he used to be.
He is now a senior in high school
He now has the same slow speech and plodding speaking style as Ben Carson.
I can see where people say Carson is medicated.
Although I have met a person or two who spoke that way naturally.
