Was Trump Right to De-Fund the WHO, Pending the Results of an Investigation?

Oh c'mon, like I'm the only one who's openly wondering if Trump will follow his instincts and sense of absolute power to its ridiculous conclusion.  You honestly expect us to believe you'll lift a finger to stop him or have we finally found the line even you're not willing to cross for this bozo?

 

It has never happened...your fears are running wild.   Too bad....

I have no idea if Trump did the right thing in this case however just his impulses really to just take fast decisions is off the chart during this pandemic.

He is not a president for this kind of crisis, he thrives in political fights not in uniting people at the emotional level.

I watched a documentary about his upbringing, when his brother died of alcoholism he was sitting at the table with his dad and his dad told him "Your brother was not a strong person, let's move on". That's how he sees the world, unfortunately people this time won't forgive that easy if he makes a decision to open up the country early and more people will die.

Is very good the way the system in the USA is designed so no branch of government can ever achieve absolute power including the president because if Trump ever had the kind of power that Putin has for example oh man :))

Too be perfectly honest he's so freaking unstable I wouldn't put it past him to just quit and claim it was America's loss.

He's got his own voters poisoning themselves with disinfectant now. I guess he didn't think that through too well.

Really, you think increasing font size makes you more persuasive?  This is mostly about the Trump administration blaming its failings on others.  China fucked up, but China and the WHO aren’t the same thing.  If the US is no longer the dominant influence there, that speaks to changes in power and influence internationally.  It’s worth considering why that is happening.  I think some of it was inevitable but also that some of it is because the US administration appear like self-interested blowhards who don’t have the world’s best interests at heart, so they’ve lost moral political currency internationally, but that’s another debate.

Defunding the WHO is shooting yourself in the foot, but go for it. Firing people, pointing fingers, and stripping funding can only distract from dubious leadership for so long.  I don’t even think It has to be so bad for Trump if he’d just keep it fact-based.  

Answer the question. If the WHO wanted to spread the virus, and kill as many people as possible, what would they have done differently? I really want to know what you think they would have done differently to spread the virus.

Don't change the topic to whether or not they need to follow the US's marching orders or anything else. Honestly look at the advice they gave. If Trump gave that advice you'd crawl out of your skin because you're a hyper-partsian liberal. Trump doesn't like them, so they're your newest love interest.

If the WHO wanted to spread the virus, and kill as many people as possible, what would they have done differently?

With Trump's administration officials embedded in the WHO while this was happening. You figure these Americans were just there as janitorial staff or something? 

 

 

They didn't get in front of the mic, and give the WHO's advice, did they?

Tedros himself gave the advice, he was the one who got to make the call.

Maybe Trump banned Chinese travellers on the advice of people from the WHO. You don't know, neither do I. 

Answer this to your own satisfaction, even if you refuse to do it here, as usual. If the WHO wanted to spread the virus, and kill as many people as possible, what would they have done differently?

They'd probably start by killing all the Americans fucking things up with their blowing whistles and ringing alarm bells.

As it is the W.H.O. didn't have to do anything given Trump's capacity for not paying attention.

To be even more honest, he doesn't care about such ramblings from the fearful ones in Canada.    It is their obsession.

Honestly, those people are stupid ... he didn't even "suggest" it, he merely asked if it was possible.  Not that he wasn't entirely stupid, but if people can't tell the difference between Trump asking a stupid question and suggesting people do something, that's on them, not him.

Something you've been obssesed with explaining/wondering why via some 55000 posts and still missing the reason every single time, by a wide margin.

Trump only cares about his own ramblings.

Well yes, some of Trump's supporters are stupid. He knows that. Right now he's saying "They love me! They really really LOVE me!" 

It's a sh!t show.

See, the fact that you can't name how their advice would have changed of they wanted to spread the pandemic faster indicates that you're just a liar, and you know that they need to e investigated. 

You are 100% busted for being a liar. You know that the WHO needs to be investigated and you're doing a dodgy little liberal liar dance.

Wring yer fricken' panties out ya stupid twit obviously I was being sarcastic. It's perfectly clear that if the W.H.O. wanted to spread the virus faster they would do exactly what Trump is alleging, they'd either keep quiet or lie about it.  The problem of course is that you can't be bothered to explain how the W.H.O. was able to get away with that when the place was full of Trump administration officials.

EVERYTHING needs to be investigated and I'll be particularly interested in knowing exactly what the Americans in the W.H.O. knew exactly when they knew it and precisely when they informed their stupid boss. You won't be the slightest bit interested in that investigation though will you?

Trump deserves every bit of attention he gets.  In fact, he loves the attention. He boasts about his ratings all the time. He still thinks this is a TV show.

Agreed...it works so well, even Canadians give him lots of attention....long before defunding the WHO.
