Ben Carson: Trump doesn't talk about his good deeds because he is uncomfortable with self-praise

He once donated a million dollars to an orphanage, then burnt it down so nobody would find out.

Former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson continues to stump for Trump. He continues to be uniquely bad at it, but his latest attempt—an explanation to the Mourning Joe crowd of why you don't hear stories of Donald Trump helping people, or Donald Trump being kind, or any similar anecdotes—is transcendent.

"I'm–then hopeful that he will begin to put–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.  You know, he–he feels that, you know, that's self-praising, he doesn't want to do it."

That's right. The reason Donald Trump has not been sharing stories of things he has done to help people is because Donald Trump feels uncomfortable with self-praise.

Oh, he could tell you stories of the kind and generous things he's done—but that would be bragging, and Donald Trump is uncomfortable with bragging.

And his surrogates? His convention speakers? His close personal friends, like Dr. Ben Carson, who have been told stories of Donald Trump's kindness and wish they could share them with us? Oh, how they long to, but Donald forbids. His modesty—it is too much.
