trump blames WHO for the state of CV-19 in US and is pulling funding to WHO

Pres Trump is accusing WHO of what many have accused Trump of doing. He says the organization failed to identify pandemic early, wasted time, took too long to declare it a public health emergency & praised China for transparency.

President Trump says U.S. is pulling funding to WHO because the group praised China's "transparency."

Below is President Trump's tweet from January 24 praising China's transparency.

@realDonaldTrump
China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!

The current state of the coronavirus in the USA is not the fault of the WHO - it's trump fault. It is trump who delayed 70 days before he took an action wrt Covid-19.

7. We are drowning and Trump wants to get rid of the rescue boats?

The WHO did tell Trump early on about the C-19 pandemic and he blew them off and
he refused to use their C-19 test kits. Those kits have worked very well in every other
country that have used them. See S. Korea & New Zealand.


And why did Trump refuse the WHO's test kits? So he could "wet his beak" and
sell his own model to the US Government.

Trump is the biggest fuck up in history.
