Inspite of the growing outbreak of Zika virus in the country, Donald Trump remained silent about the issue as he wanted to focus more on the "diseases" that he believes to be slowly killing the country. He is about the problems in politics and undisciplined citizens.
During an interview in Florida, Trump was asked how he would fight the spread of Zika. He answered it with a deferring comment about the Florida governor, who has endorsed him for president. He said as reported by CNN:
"Well, first of all you have a great governor (Rick Stott), who's doing a fantastic job... And it's a problem, it's a big problem. But I watch and I see and I see what they're doing with the spraying and everything else. And I think he's doing a fantastic job. And he's letting everyone know exactly what the problem is and how to get rid of it. He's going to have it under control. He probably already does."
The problem with the delay of funds for the Zika research have recently caused worries to the public because of the long process in the congress and the tension between the liberals and democrats. Huffingtonpost reported that the "National Institutes of Health announced the government would exhaust its funding to combat the virus by the end of the month. Congress, whose action is needed to appropriate, is on vacation until after Labor Day."
The GOP nominee spoke on Zika in public previously during a speech in Ohio. Some of the controversial words he gave were:
"There was a mosquito. I don't want mosquitoes around me!" Trump exclaimed. "I don't like mosquitoes! I don't like those mosquitoes. I never did!"
"OK, speaking of mosquitoes - hello, Hillary. How are you doing?" he joked.
Trump has a lot to say on issues and perhaps he has more to point about the Zika virus spread, but he wants people to focus more on greater issues. Zika is sort of an emergency but there are other issues that people forget and first of these is the economic problem, which is often being downplayed.
