Donald Trump flip flops on a lot of things, like gun control and immigration and which party he belongs to. He also definitely flip flops on who his friends are.
A few of months ago, Donald Trump and Ben Carson were enemies, arguing over everything at the endless GOP debates.
Then Carson dropped out of the race, and all of a sudden, he was on the air endorsing Trump. He and the Donald were suddenly good buds.
Now The Daily Beast is reporting that Trump is booting Carson out of his VP Selection team. This comes after Trump purposefully chose Carson to head up his VP search. Carson, the former neurosurgeon and Presidential wannabe, apparently made some less than stellar recommendations.
For example, although this information has not been officially confirmed, Carson suggested that Trump should choose a Democrat as his running mate.
Hahahahahaha. No.
He also suggested Sarah Palin. Seriously, dude? Even Donald Trump must have realized that was a monumentally bad idea.
Carson also went out in public telling the media that Trump has a “Twitter problem“and that many members of his team are working to help him get over it.
I am happy to hear how badly the @nytimes is doing. It is a seriously failing paper with readership which is way down. Becoming irrelevant!

The Donald was not amused and Carson was swiftly given the boot.
Of course, Carson’s people insist that he chose to give up the position because he was needed in other, more important places within the Trump campaign. Corey Lewandowski, of journalist assault fame, has taken over leadership of the VP search. He and others close to Trump insist that Carson was pushed out.
To make things even more muddled, Trump’s minions are letting on that there is in-fighting going on between the two camps, and specifically between Carson and Trump.
A spokesman for Carson insists that this is untrue.
“Dr. Carson and Mr. Trump have a wonderful understanding. Sometimes I along with Trump’s top people are not always aware of what they are strategizing. [Carson] doesn’t always share with me. That’s a good thing.”
Sure its a good thing. Sure.
Ben isn’t the only member of the Carson family to be “fired” by Trump.
