Trump: If You’re A Humantarian Working With Ebola Victims ‘Suffer The Consequences’
They’re “great” people says Donald Trump, but those are the breaks.
The always vocal and opinionated Trump has been active on Twitter, fueling doomsday fears after the first American aid worker, Dr. Kent Brantly, arrived yesterday in the United States to receive treatment at the Emory University Hospital in Atlanta…
Brantly and fellow American aid worker Nancy Writebol were working at a Liberian hospital when they became seriously ill.
In case you’re wondering—not you, Mr. Trump—Brantly is said to be recovering just fine.

Still a dumpster mouth. He knows nothing about procedures to contain viruses but throws panic everywhere. Another fear monger who maintains his power by intimidation. Such a bad example…
I s there a risk that Ebola could come here? Sure. But at least we still have a public health system that can control it & treat it. In Africa, not so much.
There is no such thing as life without risk. DT has gambling casinos that made him rich. Wonder if he fixed his risk…

He is obsessive compulsive about using anti-bacterial hand washes and won’t shake hands because of it. So, it pretty much falls into place, doesn’t it.

H probably still thinks it’s possible to catch AIDS from doorknobs and toilet seats.

You can’t? I’m shocked!!

May you never fall sick, you asshat (Trump)

Maybe DT could donate some of his $ to Emory University? He probably wouldn’t even if his narrow mind chanced upon the thought.

Okay, I understand now. You’re an American who is free to leave and return whenever you like unless 1) you are captured and held prisoner or 2) you get sick. Either of these things automatically forfeit American citizenship and could possibly brand you as a traitor. Thanks for clearing that up, Mr. Trump & Teapartiers!

Trump sounds like one of the men who passsed by on the other side of the road rather than help the man who had been attacked by theives.

Tweeting about the horror all the while.

Perhaps each time Donald goes abroad to visit one of his real estate holdings, we should quarantine him for six months upon each return, just to be on the safe side. You can never be too careful, I always say.

This latest wig-bubble from the only man to open a casino and lose money is sickening. Does his logic apply to soldiers returning from active duty – guess that would go part way to explain the Republicans’ hatred of our veterans.

I’m more concerned that someone will catch the stoopid from Trump than that Ebola will spread. CDC has it under control, and it only spreads by direct contact with fluids.
tiredoftea August 3rd, 2014 at 4:16 pm
“…and it only spreads by direct contact with fluids.” Oh, like the water in Toledo!
Larry Schmitt August 3rd, 2014 at 4:19 pm
You’d catch something from Lake Erie, but not Ebola.
tiredoftea August 3rd, 2014 at 4:29 pm
Oh, you said fluids and here I was trying to follow the Donald’s line of thought, oh well.

“Suffer the consequences” I’m sorry I can get past that statement. I know there’s a term for this type of statement, but I can’t find the word. Something similar to a back handed compliment but not.When searching for this word/term, I cam across this. I thought it applied.
Narcissistic Victim Syndrome – the Fallout of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
People with NPD have an inflated sense of self-importance, see themselves as perfect and will attack anyone who tries to put a chink in that “flawless” image. They exhibit grandiose, self-centered, egotistical patterns of behavior that can cause a lot of psychological trauma to those around them.

Was there a picture of Trump next to the entry?

I guess donald doesn’t consider his bankruptcies as being of any consequence when he is busy blaming others.
Steven Critcher August 3rd, 2014 at 6:20 pm
He seems nice.
M D Reese August 3rd, 2014 at 6:50 pm
I hope he travels soon and catches something nasty. Of course that hair would probably scare the germs away…
Robert Johnston August 3rd, 2014 at 10:23 pm
Oh really, Donald?
And just what have YOU ever done that was in the least bit HEROIC?
These two fine folks put it on the line to try to bring Ebola to heel.
And by getting care here in the States, they stand a far better chance of beating the disease that now threatens to end their lives.
So, I ask again…
Just WHAT have YOU done that was in the LEAST BIT heroic?
For to me, you are certainly NOT worthy of being called one!

Be fair now, he did make Daddy’s fortune much smaller!

True that–but he’s still no hero to me!
