An outraged Donald Trump took to Twitter last week to express disapproval over the U.S. arrival of two Americans from Liberia to receive treatment for Ebola, according to Talking Points Memo.
In a Twitter rampage that began last Thursday, Trump slammed the nation's leaders for taking in the two missionary workers, the consequences of which will cause death and doom in the U.S.
"Ebola patient will be brought to the U.S. in a few days- now I know for sure our leaders are incompetent," he tweeted Thursday night. "KEEP THEM OUT OF HERE!" Trump continued.
The real estate magnate's Twitter outburst continued into the next day.
"The U.S. cannot allow Ebola infected people back. People that go to far away places to help out are great-but must suffer the consequences!" he tweeted Friday.
By Saturday, "The Celebrity Apprentice" host was calling for the U.S. to shut its borders.
"The U.S. must immediately stop all flights from EBOLA infected countries or the plague will start and spread inside or 'borders.' Act fast!"
Despite Trump's efforts, one of the Americans, Dr. Kent Brantly, has already arrived and is being treated at a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The second American, Nancy Writebol is expected to arrive in the U.S. this week Tuesday.
Both patients, from the missionary organization Samaritan's Purse, were in Liberia helping those infected with Ebola, an often fatal disease that has killed nearly 900 people across West Africa in what is said to be the worst known outbreak of the virus. Other hard hit countries are Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Symptoms of Ebola include fever, diarrhea and bleeding inside and outside of the body, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There is no known cure for Ebola, but some people are able to survive while others are not.
Brantly's condition is said to be improving after receiving a dose of an experimental serum, NBC News reported.
CDC Director Tom Frieden said the U.S. is not at risk of infection, CBS News reported.
