    Trump goes "Full Trump" in Iowa, GOP Candidates React

    Donald Trump's often outlandish behavior has led to jokes about what it would mean if he went “Full Trump.” Last night in Iowa, he may have established a new standard. He ridiculed the so-called “redemption” story of Dr. Ben Carson, who says he found God after his attempt to stab another young man went wrong.

    Donald Trump's often outlandish behavior has led to jokes about what it would mean if he went “Full Trump.” Last night in Iowa, he may have established a new standard. He ridiculed the so-called “redemption” story of Dr. Ben Carson, who says he found God after his attempt to stab another young man went wrong.
