On Health Care: 2014: Africa travel ban to battle Ebola outbreak

When the global medical community was responding to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, Trump was one of the most prominent US figures wrongly disputing scientific consensus about the virus and sowing disinformation. On October 2, 2014, Trump tweeted that "Ebola is much easier to transmit than the CDC and government representatives are admitting. Spreading all over Africa-and fast. Stop flights."

In an October 6, 2014 appearance on Fox & Friends, a clip of Fauci was played, expressing his opposition to closing travel with West Africa. "Well, I think it's ridiculous," Trump said. "But as far as you know, giving supplies and providing medical supplies, I'm all for that. And even if doctors want to go there and help, I think I'm all for that too. But you know, they do have to suffer consequences."
