За две недели до выборов в Конгресс 2014 Трамп ездил в Айову на помощь Стиву Кингу.
Donald Trump, headed to Iowa this weekend to fundraise for a Republican lawmaker, says the Ebola crisis is more “proof of the president’s incompetence” that could ultimately hurt Democrats at the polls in November. Speaking by phone with The Daily Caller, the New York businessman sharply criticized President Barack Obama for refusing to restrict commercial flights from Ebola-stricken countries in Africa. An increasing number of Republicans, like Speaker of the House John Boehner, have called on Obama to enact a temporary flight ban. “It’s incredible,” Trump said of Obama. “Nobody can understand it. He’s either stubborn, incompetent, not smart, listening to the wrong people. Nobody can understand it.” Asked how he thinks Ebola will affect the midterms, Trump said, “It shows in one sense that Obama continues to be incompetent. Because he’s not stopping the flights to and from West Africa, which are the hotspots…It is just madness.” <...> On Saturday, Trump heads to Iowa to fundraise for incumbent Republican Rep. Steve King. “I really like Steve. I’ve watched him over the years. And I’ve become friendly with him. He’s got tremendous viewpoints, and viewpoints that very much concur with mine,” he said. https://dailycaller.com/2014/10/16/donald-trump-headed-to-iowa-says-ebola-is-further-proof-of-the-presidents-incompetence/
Donald Trump said on Monday morning there are some simple reasons he doesn’t trust the U.S. government to handle the Ebola outbreak. Among them: Obamacare and Benghazi. Trump, who has been vocal about Ebola, made his comments during a call to the Fox News show “Fox and Friends.” “I think very few people trust our government as being competent,” Trump told the hosts. <...> On Monday, Trump also questioned the reassurances of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “It’s interesting, I watch all the time where this gentleman from CDC is saying you don’t catch it, you can’t catch it, it’s almost like impossible to catch,” Trump said. “And yet an NBC reporter goes over there, a photographer, and gets Ebola. And I’m trying to find out how did he get it? I mean, what did he do to get it? I can’t imagine he was touching lots of folks. That’s what he was over there for. So how did he end up, that’s going to be an interesting one. How did this gentleman catch Ebola?” https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/donald-trump-ebola-obamacare-benghazi
Something very important, and indeed society changing, may come out of the Ebola epidemic that will be a very good thing: NO SHAKING HANDS! - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 4, 2014
The CDC says you should avoid shaking hands due to coronavirus.
Trump did not seem to believe the coronavirus could pose much of a risk to his personal health. According to an account of the Sunday lunch, shared with The Post by one attendee, Trump even joked about getting the virus - referring to a donor in the room who Trump said had shaken hands with him twice. The man was a doctor, Trump said, and his hands were oddly clammy. Trump said that, after they shook, sweat from the man’s hand was left behind on his own. “If you hear any bad things about the health of our president, there’s the guy,” Trump said, according to the account. “The president’s not looking good? Get that doctor. Find out who the hell that guy was.” The audience laughed. Republican officials say the attendee who tested positive was in the audience but did not have personal contact with Trump at the lunch, which was attended by about 1,000 people. The White House declined to comment on Trump’s remarks at the gathering. The same weekend, Trump met with the visiting Brazilian delegation - posing for a photo with Bolsonaro’s communications secretary, Fabio Wajngarten, who later tested positive for the virus. On Friday, Bolsonaro said he had tested negative for the virus. But another person who met with the visiting Brazilian delegation - Miami Mayor Francis Suarez - also later tested positive, according to a spokesperson for Suarez. At Mar-a-Lago itself, one of the biggest events of the winter social season - a 700-person lunch titled “Wine, Women and Shoes” - was postponed on Friday, a day before it was supposed to occur. The brunch’s sponsor, an animal shelter called Big Dog Ranch Rescue, said they were heeding a warning from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to avoid large gatherings. “The well-being of our incredible supporters, vendors and staff is paramount,” the shelter’s founder, Lauree Simmons, said in a statement. She also cited reports of two people testing positive in surrounding Palm Beach County. But Mar-a-Lago itself remained open to members. The Trump Organization - which operates hotels, golf clubs and resorts in 11 states - does not appear to have closed any of its properties. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-defiant-on-testing-and-handshakes-even-as-second-mar-a-lago-case-emerges/2020/03/13/8b06d1b4-6541-11ea-b3fc-7841686c5c57_story.html
