What do you think about Trump defunding W.H.O. ?

Trump announced today that he would suspend our payments to the world health organization. He did so because China and W.H.O. withheld information about the virus either intentionally or incompetently. Then the W.H.O. praised china for their actions.

Anything that will reveal the number of actual cases and help show he has no idea of what is going on is not going to be supported. Also he has to be the greatest at everything so anyone who does not agree is garbage and discarded.

@Chickenwing The information is coming out. Slowly but it will come out. Check medical magazines in China.

@Chickenwing Yes, but then they started to share the information they had. Most of the information on the news is not complete, especially if you are getting t from faux. If you really want to know what is happening look at a foreign news source like the Guardian, the Economist, Al Jezera, I do not think that is spelled correctly.

He desperately wants/ needs to shift blame for his inaction, withholding US tax dollars (for which he doesn't contribute) remains his weapon of choice. What does he care if the World suffers … he doesn't even care about his own hometown!

Typical Trump blister to distract the media from the real issue at hand. The incompetent and fraudulent Trump administration that should be "defunded" and reminded. Them we should have the WHO airway TRUMP-45 vaccine on the USA from high altitude planes so we never get infected by such a monster again.

BBC has an article on this today..
Is President Trump right to criticise the WHO? [bbc.com]

WHO's Early failures and Influence by China:

  1. President Trump has accused the WHO of failing to challenge China's early assertion there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the coronavirus.
  2. China failed to inform the WHO and the world the seriousness and cause of the virus
    a. China first informed the WHO of "a pneumonia of an unknown cause, on 31 December"
    b. On 5 January, the organization said the information it had from China at that time showed there was "no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission".
  3. On 14 January, the WHO tweeted preliminary Chinese investigations had found "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission" of the new virus.
  4. And on 22 January, the WHO, following a brief field visit, made a much clearer statement human-to-human transmission was happening in Wuhan.
  5. At the end of January, the WHO praised China for its efforts to contain the virus, including its "commitment to transparency".
  6. WHO ignored experts from Taiwan because Taiwan is not one of the WHO's members as the territory is not recognized by the UN?
  7. After a senior official refused to discuss Taiwan's response to the outbreak, the WHO was accused of being unduly influenced by China.

But the funny thing here is that Mr Trump himself praised the Chinese, in a tweet, on 24 January. LOL

And he also ignored his own experts' advice and affluent the entire month of February doing nothing to prepare or protect the country.

Mr "sat on his hands for a month's" action?

I think a rather small % of people, in the final analysis, will be credited with doing everything right. This, to me, is a distraction tactic to cover his own failings in this crisis and it's going to get more people killed.

@Chickenwing sitting on ones hands is easy. Begin to sit in a chair (without arms on the chair if this is your first time) and then just before you sit down all the way place your hands on your butt and finish sitting down.
