During this worldwide outbreak of the fatal disease Ebola, the actions being taken by some people are being heavily questioned by others. If West Africa is heavily affected by the disease right now, why is it that President Obama is sending 4,000 of our troops over there to help. This question has sparked debate among very wealthy and powerful people in America. A couple of days ago Donald Trump, one of Americas wealthiest, posted a video on Instagram calling out President Obama.

The debate this brings up is whether or not we as a country should be helping West Africans while they are in the midst of a catastrophe. Donald Trump voices the opinion of millions of Americans who feel the same way. Other major people in the United States like Sen. Rand Paul have voiced their opinion on how they feel as though sending our troops over their is ridiculous.
" Right now 4000 U.S. troops are stupidly heading to West Africa to help fight Ebola.No help from China, Russia or wealthy African oil nations" @DonaldTrump
This tweet was released on October 9th and sparked much controversy around the country about what actions we should take to fight this disease. Arguments are coming from both directions. Some believe that if we don't help, than we are at risk of the disease making a much larger problem. While others feel that if we don't help, we are going to be fine and have a minimal amount of Ebola cases.
