Dr. Ben Carson, who’s rumored to be among the top contenders for President Trump’s VP pick, stepped up for his close friend in Davenport, Iowa. President Trump couldn’t hit the campaign trail due to yet another sham trial orchestrated by the Uniparty regime. In his place, Dr. Carson took the stage in Davenport, delivering a speech that was a masterful blend of humor, power, hope, and clarity.

The New Yorker:

On Thursday morning, while Trump was in court in New York, Ben Carson stumped for him at Grace Baptist Church in Marion, Iowa, as part of the Team Trump Iowa Faith Tour. On my way, I saw cars and trucks that had skidded off the road in the storm scattered throughout snowbanks, overturned and draped in caution tape. The church parking lot was full; an Israeli flag flew alongside the American flag. Carson stood behind the pulpit, sermonizing to people wearing Trump garb. “The system doesn’t want to be fixed, and that’s why they will do anything to keep him out of office,” Carson said, speaking in a low voice. “So, be looking for dirty tricks, because they will be coming up with all kinds of things. But you know what? God is in charge. And he sets up leaders and he takes down leaders.” The crowd applauded. Carson did an imitation of Joe Biden trying to find his way off the stage. “I actually feel sorry for the man,” he said.

And Biden wasn’t the only humorous target. Ben took a nice jab at the disgraced FBI:

Carson framed the contest of the caucuses as the deep state against Donald Trump, “sort of like David and Goliath in the Bible.” When Carson’s phone rang in his suit pocket mid-speech, he said, “It’s the F.B.I. calling me to say, You can’t talk about this stuff!” The refrain of his remarks was: “We need to bring our faith back.” Since America has become more secular, he said, “it’s just downward spiralling.” He pitched a revival of faith and a revival of Trump. “Keep him in prayer . . . bring Donald Trump back.” “Yes, sir,” someone shouted from the pews. “We’re all part of an army that is designed to bring this country back,” Carson said. Iowa’s evangelical bloc, which usually stuck with traditional conservative candidates in the caucuses—Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz—has now assembled behind Trump. Instead of feigning traditional godliness, Trump casts himself as a warrior for Christians. At recent events, Trump has been playing a trippy spiritual video, called “God Made Trump,” which states “God gave us Trump,” and Trump is “a shepherd to mankind.”

All jokes aside, Dr. Carson also brought the power.

Dr. Carson also talked about the Biden invasion at the US border and how President Trump has a proven record of success.

One thing many people like about Ben Carson is that even in the darkest times, he finds the light.

It’s true that Ben and Trump really are good friends. Dr. Carson posted this message on X:
