Trump Flips Out on Ebola Case, Blames Obama, Thinks He Should Resign

Donald Trump has some of the most ridiculous tweets of any public individual on social media, but his tweets today about the New York doctor with Ebola are particularly insane.

First of all, before it was confirmed that Dr. Craig Spencer had Ebola, Trump actually said that if he tests positive, President Obama should resign. No, seriously:

If this doctor, who so recklessly flew into New York from West Africa,has Ebola,then Obama should apologize to the American people & resign!

And then, once it was confirmed, he again blamed Obama:

Ebola has been confirmed in N.Y.C., with officials frantically trying to find all of the people and things he had contact with.Obama's fault

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 24, 2014

I have been saying for weeks for President Obama to stop the flights from West Africa. So simple, but he refused. A TOTAL incompetent!

Questioning screening procedures and whether the government is doing enough to monitor for potential cases is one thing; kneejerk RABBLE RABBLE BLAME OBAMA is another entirely.
