Dr. Ben Carson said in a radio interview Sunday that there were “probably” better people other than Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump who could fix the government, The Hill reported.
Carson reportedly said that Trump “just like the rest of us” has “some major defects.”
“But I think he is willing to listen to other people. He may not say that publicly because there is a humility issue there that could perhaps use some polishing,” Carson said.
Carson has at times struggled to defend his own support for the real estate mogul after formally endorsing him last month.
“Nobody believes in the government anymore. Everybody believes that we are weak; we are weak on the world stage; we are not doing things that make sense economically,” Carson continued. “And he’s probably the person who is most likely to do that. Are there better people? Probably.”
