You know, Trump is actually starting to look like that orangutan Bill Maher claimed was Trump’s father.

I get it. He’s an early version of the Sunday funnies. There’s no other reason to pay him any attention.

How is it possible that anyone this stunningly, appallingly, unbelievably stupid can manage to extract so much cash from a collection of clueless bankers?

The really sad thing is that when it is shown that Ebola did not threaten the US populace, he will take credit for stopping it. Equally sad is that this racist’s rant will probably get more coverage than the coverage given to the health experts who have already clearly stated that it is an extremely low risk.

As for his calling for the stoppage of flights from Ebola-stricken areas, that is his rancid racism coming through loud and clear.

So glad to see that Donald is relying on his epidemiology training to give advice on matters of infectious disease and public policy.

The Donald at his best: “You’re great but you must die a horrible death of coughing up blood. But you’re great, love ya.”

Inherited wealth is still wealth, and the media absolutely fawns over anyone who has substantial wealth…even when they did not earn it themselves… pretty effing sad state of affairs.

TPM, why would you consider this news? You use to be above this type of “journalism”.

He thinks he’s morally superior. What a jerk

I’m sorry; all I saw was “Donald Trump Says Something. Again.” And really, that’s more than I needed to know. Donald Trump exists; I accept this. I also accept that he is going to say something, from time to time, and that whatever it is that he says is going to be moronic. I have been under the impression that this is unsurprising, but various media outlets feel compelled to report these things from time to time. Why? I have no idea.

Ironically, while Ebola is relatively non-contagious (like HIV, you have to contact blood to contract it, though that’s a lot easier since it causes massive hemorrhaging), we came close to having a real plague with a similar virus - the Reston virus is related to Ebola but can be spread through the air. It’s named for the city outside DC where it was discovered in lab monkeys from the Philippines. Fortunately it doesn’t affect humans; if it did, or if it changes to do so in the future, we’d be fucked.

IMO… it was worth running the story just to be able to post that picture!

Ebola does not sound half as bad as the Trump plague that Americans have had to endure within our borders for years.

It may be horrible to say this, but I wouldn’t mind seeing him come down with Ebola, just to see him change his tune…oh who am I kidding? He’ll just be ranting in addition to whining at the same time then.

Thank goodness didn’t stoop to fear mongering, that would be irresponsible.

Guessing any chance Trumper had at actually buying the Buffalo Bills-- just twittered away.
There’s no cure for what he’s contracted.

Trump to selfless American doctor and nurse: “You’re fired!”

It’s any wonder Trump isn’t infected already with that rat that inhabits the top of his head.
