Donald Trump called Ben Carson an 'enigma' twice at a Nov 2015 Iowa rally. 'Enigma' appeared in pages 55 and 164 of Trump's 2004 book, How to Get Rich, and an audio promo. 'Enigma' also appeared in page 200 of Trump's 1990 book, Surviving at the Top. https://www.techarp.com/fact-check/donald-trump-use-enigma-word/ https://x.com/DrAdrianWong/status/1946223863597306339 https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/transcript/donald-trump-op-ed-mirror-uk-book-excerpt-march-23-2004/ https://www.google.com/books/edition/Trump_How_to_Get_Rich/Fo_l25-54sQC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=enigma https://archive.ph/wip/tWfzG https://www.google.com/books/edition/Trump/jnSfMHluCxEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=enigma https://abc7ny.com/post/donald-trump-questions-ben-carsons-pathological-temper-faith/1083366/ https://www.nbcnews.com/video/donald-trump-targets-ben-carson-in-long-rambling-iowa-speech-566101059742
