Prove what? He was a great brain surgeon. But the guy thinks that the pyramids were built to store grain. Reasonably smart people do not believe that. Plus watch him speak. He's either addicted to narcotics or he's Rainman.
You're correct. My understanding came from a headline, and after review I realize I missed context.
I went back and reread the entire transcript regarding the REO comment. My apologies.
Thanks for setting me straight, my friend.
Why does Jesus look like a Klingon?
Every president makes gaffes. That is nothing new. Trump and his cohort has gone beyond basic gaffes. Only a cultist would say otherwise.
IMO being head of HUD and not knowing what an REO is is complete incompetence. He got R=Real, E=Estate, and had to guess at the "O" - "Organization"?. No, the "O" is for "Owned". What happens when a property goes to foreclosure.
This is incompetence of the highest order. What does he do in his office all day if he doesn't even know the most basic facts?
Really wish this was an Onion article. Yet another Trump appointee embarrasses him/herself in a congressional hearing. Congresswoman Porter asked Carson about REO rates, and he replied, “Oreos”. What an embarrassment of an administration.

I read the exchange. Your post is stupid, because it makes a mountain out of a mole hill; which is SOP for liberals. He followed that moment by stating that he knew all about REOs, and had been reading up on them. After all, it isn't brain surgery.

My apologies to you.
I was wrong but I hope you are only kidding when accusing him of being an idiot savant or drug addict.
He absolutely should know what the term REO stands for, but let's not get carried away...
I'll compare his educational credentials with anyone's here...
It is perfectly understandable that the head of HUD thought that a member of Congress was asking him about a couple of cream filled chocolate cookies in the middle of a committee meeting"Her" acronyms are part of the department he runs. Don't you think he should understand the basics of the department he runs? This wasn't some obscure or just made up acronym, it's even on the HUD site.

Trump started a mortgage company at the height of the housing bubble and lost $1 billion over a decade. He doesn’t even know real estate, let alone how to run a country.

He's hyper-intelligent in one area of expertise, outside of that he clearly displays signs of drug use and/or dementia. Watch his facial mannerisms and listen to him speak.

The second coming of Obama...
I find nothing unusual or any changes in his demeanor over the years... I've been watching him speak since he entered the political arena as a pundit on various cable news shows, and when he was running for POTUS. He was still a practicing surgeon at that time. Are you suggesting that you can determine by facial movements that he is a drug addict or afflicted with dementia? Really? REALLY???
Trump isn't bothered by this trifling ****, that's why all your attempts to sink him since 2016 have failed.
No he wasn't. Carson retired as a surgeon on July 1, 2013. He announced his retirement in March of 2013 and said that he would "much rather quit when I'm at the top of my game". He didn't run for President until he announced in March of 2015.
Boy am I glad you pointed that out, it makes such a huge difference knowing the precisely year when taken in context.
