Few people will talk about this, and fewer will even want to acknowledge it, but what Donald Trump did before the debate even began shows the measure of a real man’s worth.

At the beginning of the ABC debate, each of the candidates were being introduced in a specific order. The first name called to the stage was Chris Christie. The applause was loud and lingered through the time when Martha Raddatz called the second candidate Ben Carson.

Dr. Carson did not hear his name called (easy to understand why when you listen to the video) and stood in the entry-way. The moderators, with their backs to the candidates, didn’t notice his absence and called the third name on the list, Ted Cruz.

Ted walked past Dr. Carson and onto the stage. Carson remained in the awkward, and embarrassing position, ‘no-mans-land’, on-camera but out of sight of the live audience.

What happened next shows the remarkable character of Donald Trump.

The fourth name called was Donald Trump, but by then the back-stage crew and candidates were aware of Dr. Carsons’ position. Trump slowly approached, and then realized the embarrassing position of a fellow candidate hanging in the wind.

Trump showed his leadership by standing right next to his friend, and not walking onto the stage.

The other names continued to be called, and proceeded as mentioned. But not Donald Trump, he remained with his colleague thereby reducing the internal anxiety felt by Carson.

It would have been very easy for Trump to walk by Ben, just like all the other candidates did. But instead he chose to wait, and remove the embarrassment factor by infinite magnitudes.

Then, like a boss, when Dr. Carson was called to the stage, Trump waited and allowed Ben to get the audience response and appreciation. It takes a lot of courage to make split second decisions like this, and it shows a remarkable insight into the man’s character.

People often mistake Donald Trump’s self-confidence for arrogance or even narcissism. But there is not a narcissist on the planet who would have put themselves into a position like that to assist a competing colleague.

Here’s Mr. Trump talking to an audience member several years ago, and reminding them that no-one is “less than”…

if its what happened, good or him for having a moment of not behaving like a narcissistic grade schooler

Socialism and fascism are one and the same. Seems there is only one candidate who declares to be either.....

The Bern!

think about the last 8 years....

Yes, after 7 years of the biggest narcissist on the planet, we certainly don't need another one!

my point exactly,, the tunnelvision and double standard


the current president has been a model of restraint considering the bull being constantly thrown his way


he doesn't hold a candle to the true narcissism in the current billionaire blowhard so many are so supportive of

the current President applied a sanction on Russia
when all of Crimea wanted to return to Mother Land!!

the Current President vetoed the Late Saudi King's proposal to invade Syria and oust Assad in 2012!

Late King died,
ISIS filled the vacuum,
1 million refugees fled to Europe
Russia got in
more refugees now!!

and now the U Turn

model of restraint indeed.

Indecision is a form of restraint, as Pathological lying is a form of mental disorder.
