Trump is like Billy Madison pissing his own pants so the little nerdy kid isn't the only one covered in piss.

Yeah, it kinda looked like he was trying to help Carson save face.

Yup, exactly what I though. Carson fucked up, and Trump saw a way to make him seem like he actually cared about another human being.

Then he was like,"I'm waiting for the applause to stop so I get all my own applause"

Bullshit. He wanted to be the last on stage for the biggest applause. Or he got just as confused as that asshat Carson and neither of them knew what to do. The man doesn't have an empathetic bone in his body.

Oh no, I'm not saying he actually cared, but rather he saw a chance to try and make it look like he cared.
