Received in todays email: Very good questions and statements - I believe I know the answer, but you can decide for yourselves: Regardless of what you think of Trump, can you disagree with these statements? Flights Originating in Africa Donald Trump sent out an alarming tweet on Thursday questioning President Barack Obamas mental health due to his refusal to ban flights to and from Ebola-stricken West Africa — and the billionaire developer states that hes standing by that assessment. Theres something wrong and nobody knows what it is but theres something wrong, Trump said Thursday on The Steve Malzberg Show. Theres so many bad decisions. Can anybody be that incompetent? Theres something wrong, theres something going on. Trump took to Twitter to express his alarm over the United States continuing to allow international flights to and from West Africa, the so-called ground zero of the Ebola crisis. One Ebola victim has died and two nurses have been infected in Dallas. Trump stated that as a dealmaker who has made billions of dollars, he has a great understanding of what makes people tick. I always understand the other side. If you take a look at the whole thing about stopping the flights, I dont understand that. I mean I dont understand, Trump said. How could you not, not stop the flights? Even in Africa theyre not allowing the people from West Africa to come in.... How can you allow people [in] that could be very, very sick, especially when you see what just one or two or three people have done in Dallas? I mean, its like bedlam. Trump said Obamas entire presidency has been rife with mistakes. Every decision this country has made is wrong. Everythings wrong. Everything is going wrong for the United States. When was the last time you heard something good about the United States? You dont hear it. China just took over as the great economic power … this was unthinkable, he said. But when you think of whats going on with Ebola, where we allow people that can be very, very sick and affect our entire population to be able to come into this country, theres definitely something wrong. Hes either incompetent, hes very stubborn, or theres something wrong. Trump also criticized CDC Chief Dr. Thomas Freidan, whom he believes is taking orders directly from the president. He sounds like the most confused, disoriented man I think Ive ever heard speak. He is just crazy.... He must be told by Obama that were going to keep these paths open to the United States, Trump said. We have hundreds of people coming in a day from West Africa that could very well have Ebola and we just let them come in and hes trying to make an excuse like thats safer than keeping them out. It is the craziest thing Ive ever heard and everybody agrees.... It almost sounds to me like hes being told that this is the way its going to be and hes trying to make this excuse. It is just ridiculous. Nearly every African nation — along with Colombia and the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia — has instituted travel bans on West African countries with significant Ebola outbreaks, and there is mounting pressure on the U.S. and the West to do the same. Trump said he is surprised that airline employees dont just flatly refuse to work on flights leaving or headed to West Africa. Where are the airline flight attendants or the pilots? Why are they agreeing to take these people? This is such a problem. You see what happened in Dallas.... Its total bedlam, he said. The whole thing is crazy and it all started with somebody that came in from West Africa. They should absolutely stop the flights.
