Assuming, of course, that the story ever happened and isn't just a legend. (Blasphemy!) But if it did, yeah, telling your big brothers you've had a dream that one day they're all going to bow down to you is kind of asking to be mistreated ...

I think he has had strokes. Maybe small ones (TIAs) but the cumulative effect is not negligible.

Damn Woman ! You just served him his ass for breakfastThe part where she removes her glasses...it's classicHe does seem either on Benzodiazepines or suffering from massive sleep deprivation. Maybe Trump slipped him some of the little green pills the CIA allegedly has been giving him in his Diet coke. Alex Jonez/Konspiracy theories.....I dunno, I saw a guy in velvet greige lederhosen today loading a foil-covered hot dish into the back seat of his car. Is it Oktoberfest or the End Of dayz ?

I worked in the same facility with Dr. Carson and he always 'seemed' affable and friendly. Yes in my community we lionized him and read all of his books as kids. I'm not at all impressed with his current performance.
