    Source (example, you can use every media you want at least):

    https://www.rt.com/news/485825-trum...notifications&utm_campaign=push_notifications

    Donald Trump ... this is the person who is currently the US President and who initially described and devalued COVID-19 as a campaign issue of the Democrats ... and the person who in January praised China for its drastic action in Wuhan ... yes this person now accuses the WHO of conspiracy with China. The world outside his "red MAGA hat" fans still knows that he doesn't believe in truth and facts ... particularly those who are umcomfortable for him. He would much rather look for scapegoats for his own failure and blame everything and everyone ... just not where the blame really lies: the person Donald Trump sees in the mirror when he stands in front of it!

    Or in other words...

    IF DONALD TRUMP HAD CAPTAINED THE TITANIC:

    - There is no iceberg
    - We won't hit the iceberg
    - I knew it was an iceberg before anyone else knew
    - No one knows icebergs better than I do
    - The evil penguins brought the iceberg here
    - No one could have predicted the iceberg
    - We cannot allow the iceberg to stop our ship
    - The crew, passengers and media are spreading fake news about icebergs
    - Some of you have to drown
    - I am the best captain ever, ask anyone...

    Good. **** the WHO. They covered up for China. Trump trusted them and got his ass handed to him. Maybe next time they'll do their ****ing job.

    Opinion pieces don’t cut it.
    Cover up means that the WHO knew something but tried to bury it. That didn’t happen. The most that happened is that the WHO accurately reported what China was claiming, without either confirming or denying the claim.
    If anyone was engaged in a “cover up” it was Dirty Donny Bonespurs, who downplayed the seriousness of this for weeks while it spread through the US.

    “Make no mistake, this is an emergency in China, but it has not yet become a global health emergency. It may yet become one”

    This is the cover up you are referring to? This is a direct quote from your own source, the World Health Organisation saying in January that the virus is not yet a global emergency. I guess we should cut all funding because of this

    WHO knew in December the virus was transmitted person to person. They lied and covered up for China until they couldn't get away with it anymore. It’s an evil organization that doesn’t even acknowledge the existence of Taiwan.

    Bullshit!
    Of course, the virus is transmitted from person to person and this information came from China itself ... and the WHO already communicated this in December. But it was just a regional epidemic and not a pandemic at the time. And what did your president do from December to today? This bastard only sucks that you elected as president.
    And if you were to simply deal with the tasks of the WHO, you would shamefully fall into silence.

    And as far as Taiwan is concerned ... that's totally ridiculous! Take your own nose there, because if it seems better to Americans to have sex with the devil, then you have no qualms about sleeping with him instead of fighting him! And that is exactly the case with Taiwan every time. If you cuddle with China again, then you Americans are the first to drop taiwan ... but if China is bad again in your eyes, then taiwan is back! There is so typical of your politics and something to suck ...

    Did WHO describe Corona as a Democratic election trick when it was already clear that it could become a pandemic ... or was it your idiot in the White House, eh?

    It's just disgusting how stupid Trump's fans believe every bullshit!

    ROFL.....that pretty much covers it. I don't know if I've ever seen the premise of a thread so thoroughly destroyed in the very first response.

    The WHO didn't help us ---- their actions hurt us ---- why should we continue to fund them unless/until they can prove themselves worthy, with believable promises this sh*t will never happen again, and reasonable assurance their loyalty doesn't lie with China while we are expected to help fund them.

    If the WHO wants to be in bed with China, let China foot the bills.

    "It’s unclear exactly what mechanism Trump intends to use to withhold WHO funding, much of which is appropriated by Congress." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/14/tru...h-organization-amid-coronavirus-outbreak.html

    If problem with a review, and want to fund it no matter what they do, contact your CONGRESS person. You are a citizen, right?

    Ehm ... I'm not a US citizen, I am German.
    The point is that Trump hates the UN and all international agencies within the UN or next to the UN like the WHO! It is part of his Ameirca First bullshit lies he spread around.
    The point is that Trump and other presidents before him want to see and abuse the UN as an extended tool of their own policies and interests. But that does not work and if these organizations do not submit to the will in Washington or even take action against the United States in justified cases, then the offended reaction comes directly and you want to turn off the evil UN.
    Such behavior is just disgusting!

    The WHO of course depends on information from the countries, because nowhere in the world does it have state authorities in other countries etc. Do you want the WHO in the USA to have more to say than the CDC? Hardly ... and it looks the same in all countries. And that is exactly why you should look at the tasks of the WHO instead of spreading fake news and, like Trump, looking for a scapegoat for his own failure in his USA and choosing WHO for it!

    The WHO is an extension of the Chinese government.

    You will immediately post where I spread fake news.

    The United Nations {of tyrants too}, that would be the organization that couldn't define the word "terrorism," because it might offend YOU, right?

    Unfortunately WHO like so many other organizations has become politicized and infiltrated by the left and in the case of WHO by full blown communist.

    The other day the CNN LEMON had the WHO guy on there, and the WHO guy wouldn't attack Trump sufficiently for the LEMON, which was the entire reason for CNN having him there.

    The problem is a lot of international organizations do help, just like the United Nations (of tyrants too), better to have them than not to have them.

    You refuse to see the truth. You’re blinded by your “one world” view.

    Sure ... aside fact that I was since ever against globalization ... and so no "one world view". But we need to have functional international institutions like the WHO and not what people like yu want to have: Internation tools to help imposing American will and interest on others!

    And efore you blame others about corona in the US ... blame Trump please, his fault and not of the WHO!

    Good, The WHO is useless as they lied and said there was no evidence of human transmission. They have ONE job and failed.

    Then why don't you petition your government to take up the slack if you feel the WHO is so important, instead of expecting America to pick up the tab? Why should Americans be expected to fund something which might benefit your country, but clearly did not benefit America, and in fact put Americans at risk for the sake of appeasing China?

    It's not up to the US to be Germany's big brother, nor China's.

    Petition your own leaders to give more funding to the WHO, if you think it is so important.
