Dr Ben Carson served as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in

Donald Trump's administration and he is one of only a handful of cabinet members

still in the former president's orbit. Carson is slated to speak this evening and I caught

up with him earlier today. Dr Ben Carson thanks so much for joining us. It's

my pleasure. Thanks for having me. You are among a handful of the dozens of people who served in Trump's cabinet during his time in

office who say that he deserves to be reelected.

Former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Former National Security Advisors,

John Bolton, H.R. McMaster,

former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson,

former White House Chief of Staff,

John Kelly, former Attorney General Bill Barr,

all say that Donald Trump is not fit to serve.

Why in your view are all of those men wrong?

Well I think they're looking more at the person and at the personality and not so much at what he was able to accomplish.

I would say it's akin to if you were a patient with a terrible disease and required a good surgeon.

Would you rather have the one who has terrible bedside matter and saves everybody or the

one with the sweetest words who kills everybody.

What's your assessment of Donald Trump as a person and his personality?

His personality is similar to what you'd see in a Manhattan businessman.

Somebody who lives in a dog eat dog world where you take no prisoners and that's how you rise to the top in that kind of environment.

The Trump campaign says it's making a major play for the black vote. They say that they are

micro-targeting urban black men between the ages of 18 and 34.
