Retired Neurosurgeon and Republican party aspirant in the 2016 US election, Dr. Ben Carson says when Donald Trump was starting to sense victory in Tuesday’s presidential election, he was remarkably reserved.
“He
was quite somber, I think really reflecting on the tremendous responsibility
that was going to be on his shoulders. He was not leaping for joy — he
was much more contemplative.” Carson told Yahoo Global News.

The retired neurosurgeon said the surprisingly tentative tone is a preview of what Trump’s White House will look like.
“He

“I think that kind of shows and
gives us some insight into what kind of president he’s going to be. I
don’t think he’s going to go off half-cocked. I think he’s going to be
waiting, listening, weighing options, talking to people. And I think
that’s one of the inappropriate impressions people have gotten about
him, that he’s sort of brash and impulsive. And he really isn’t.

Trump’s ability to stay more or less on message during the campaign’s final weeks, Carson said, is proof of that.
“He
really was much more contained and really didn’t chase down any rabbit
holes, didn’t respond to every accusation that was made about him,” the
soft-spoken surgeon said, “and acted in a much more presidential way.
And I think we’re going to see much more of that.”

But Carson is solidly aboard the Trump train now.
Carson believed that the former “Celebrity Apprentice” star will
make “a real attempt to reach out to be conciliatory.”
