Donald Trump shock: POTUS questioned Obama's mental health in 2014, calls him a 'psycho'

President Donald Trump attacks everyone he does not like on social media as often as he can, and even before he was President, he was already someone who used Twitter as a way to launch insults at anyone. In light of the increasing coronavirus cases, an old tweet by Trump back in 2014 sees him question his predecessor’s mental state upon handling the Ebola pandemic.

Politicalflare reports that Trump’s tweet from 2014 seems to point out the irony of today’s situation with the coronavirus. Trump criticized Obama’s handling of the Ebola pandemic and questioned his mental health. “I am starting to think that there is something seriously wrong with President Obama’s mental health. Why won’t he stop the flights? Psycho!” tweeted Trump. He wanted to have flights from the Ebola-infected countries stopped, but contrary to his remarks, there were actually no direct flights from those countries to the United States.

Obama refused to impose a travel ban upon the advice of the doctors at the Centers for Disease Control. The experts told him that imposing a travel ban would only make the problem worse than better. Imposing a travel ban, according to the experts, would make it less likely for the infected to get the proper treatment so they can be cured and or quarantined in case they already show the symptoms.

As a result of that, there was no Ebola outbreak in the United States. The outbreak in West Africa was also under control as the medical professionals were able to travel there and treat infected patients quickly.

In related news, Trump has appointed his vice president, Mike Pence, to take charge of handling the matters related to the coronavirus, in which cases are increasing in other countries at the same time as the number of cases that are recovering. Trump addressed the media and the public, giving his assurance that the risk is very low in the country. The President also stated that he was ready to release as many funds as possible in order to keep the situation under control.

Pence will be working closely with the Centers for Disease Control, National Health Institutes, Department of Homeland Security and other related agencies.
