"With regard to us, they're taking a lot of heat because they didn't want the borders closed, they called it wrong. They really called, I would say, every aspect of it wrong," Trump said at a White House press conference.surpassed 400,000, according to figures provided by NBCPresident Trump said Tuesday that he would "put a hold" on U.S. contributions to the Geneva-based WHO, saying it had given bad advice during the outbreak.It's uncertain how the U.S.

Oh please.

Yes it is the time for realDonaldTrump to stop funding W.H.O they were wrong in doing what they did. Also, stop sending money to China. Don't buy into China supplies. Make supplies here in the United States but American goods. Both W.H.O and China lied and created this pandemic!

Now is the time! Never better. Time to renegotiate what we want in return for funds. Let’s start with their recognizing terrorists as states.

They are totally correct: should have happened ages ago! WHO realDonaldTrump coronavirus

CNBC hate propaganda, your truly sad he has never cut funding but you know that. Your truly sick.

Why didn't they issue an appology of not being able to issue travel advisory on time? Why didn't they asked China to close international travel? They could have saved many lives.. nofundingfromamerica

Now is absolutely the time. WHO kowtowed to communist China and they shouldn't receive any funding from rest of world.

wHO is crap

Just keep blaming everyone but yourself. Foolish git.

Cut the funding now

Idiot trump.

Why is it that the liberal media always so afraid?

yes u should and right now

Interesting timing.

Frankly the WHO has more clout on this issue right now, Since Trump abdicated his responsibilities.

Why listen to WHO now. They are significantly responsible for worldwide pandemic by providing cover for China.

Shouldve been done a long time ago!

The US should do that. This organisation is so China-centric. WHO COVIDー19

Can the media get some b:ll& call out 45 for what he is a liar-takes no responsibility for anything 45 gives no respect- he deserves none 🤥🤥👿👿🤡🤡

Who needs Trump? Not WHO....

No shit. Trump is trying to please the GOP

Now is the time

Chief of WHO should resign immediately. That’s what Trump and I want.

WHO cares

Better cut himself out if office

If you hate Trump you blame him if you support him you don’t neither really matters as it changes nothing. We are here because of WHO, China, our own current gov. and prior admins. We are also here because we are not working together.

When is it the right time. This is the second time '1-WHO admits to faults in handling of swine flu pandemic and 2- WHO Has Admitted an Error in Its Assessment of Wuhan Coronavirus Risk. Enough is enough ,get rid of the idiots .

Of course that is their response. DefundTheUN

This is the perfect time. Remove the corruption!

Tedros nominated communist despot Robert Mugabe to WHO in 2017. Now WHO is full of commie no-name Mugabes, an arm of Communist Chinese Party. Now is exactly the time

It would be wholly irresponsible, and all too typical for this president to jeopardize the funding for WHO when we and the whole world needs them most.

January 29th Trump was warned about a possible Pandemic by his own staff...this is his response

Not to say covid is not real or serious I do agree that models and statistics used by politicians/media/science are always skewed to favor the outcomes that line their pockets. climatechange is also misleading - I am a greenie but because God left me to care for the earth.

😂😂😂😂

WHO just told potus to cut it out.

Of course the WHO will say NOW is not the time to withhold funds. They will say almost anything to keep our United States Tax dollars flowing in yet they don't do their job when the going gets tough. No more funds to these World organizations, who take our $,but dont deliver

Of course the anti American hacks at CNBC side with the CCP’s state run WHO

WHO is responsible for this outbreak. WHO chairman suppress the fact in cooperation and collaboration with Chinese Communist Party.

cut from WHO and give that part to CDC👍

So when?

I personally think it was all to late for the world to be informed , just hope that the government's hold their hands up to it and tell the world the truth 🧐 propaganda whilst people die 💙🥺🙏

WHO can get their money from China.

Lol!

This is outrageous. The US government sends a million masks to the Israeli occupation army. All while the American people suffer from a shortage in medical supplies amid this deadly COVID19 pandemic.

Fuck the WHO and Tedros too!

Cut them of my tax dollars. Worthless bunch of overpaid and incompetent people!

Cut funding. We will prevail !

POTUS is A

WHO failed to warn on virus. How many Americans must die before you figure out WHO is useless?

The inactor telling other people they didnt act right. Pot, meet kettle.....

Unravel...

The WHO lied and people died.... Trump shares blame too, but the WHO towed the China Communist party line by denying human to human transmission in January 2020!!!

Trump justs wants attention going to WHO instead of the TRUMP/MNUCHIN heist of $2 trillion.

America can't continue to pull out of international agreements, especially in the humanitarian & health sectors. We're leaving leadership voids and losing influence we may never get back. If anything we should be leveraging our power to strengthen WHO w/bad actors like China.

Well how could that be an acceptable defense? That answer leads us to think now may be the right time! WHO should get their act together, prove effectiveness or seize to exist!

WHO needs to show the US how they are spending our $400M. accountability Where is the budget and expenditures?

They can ask more from China which made billions from the crisis they started.

Cut funding to WHO now.

Ahahaha now is the exact time to fire the crooks

After COVIDー19 , the whole world should be change from benefits , selfish corporations to the organic & human principles..

Now is the time

CUT IT!!!! Like YUGE!!!!

It is time! You WHO lied to all of us in the world who trust you.

“WHO” is the responsible adult in the room - Trump the toddler!

Cut funding to the UN and WHO. This is beyond ridiculous.

WHO should ask their COVID friends

WHO is fully manipulated by China and help China consequently the truth of virus. ChinaLiesPeopleDie

lol. It wasn't a threat, he's going to cut it.

Yesterday was the time. Better late than never

Imagine if he spent as much time finding real solutions to America’s problems as he does planning vengeance and finding scapegoats where we could be. He does more “quasi” research on Obama’s past administration than he does on issues he is facing on a day to day basis. Sad.

The fact that he would even consider it is criminal

WHO needs to be held accountable for this outbreak!

Then stop working for communist party

Now wasn’t the time to sleep with the Chinese, WHO, yet here we are

What's obvious to most is not to Mad King Trump.

Cut it now. Cut it fast. It should have been cut along time ago.

We should cut the funding regardless. They are a useless political bureaucracy. We should be learning a valuable lesson. The world and the Bureaucrats in it hate Americans. We must look inward for technology and survival. If any crumbs are left, MAYBE, just MAYBE we’ll contribute

When is the right time to get fired?

'Some humans ain't human Some people ain't kind They lie through their teeth With their head up their behind You open up their hearts And here's what you'll find Some humans ain't human Some people ain't kind' John Prine

realDonaldTrump is always playing politics and playing to his base

WHO has been nothing but a Chinese mouthpiece, cut them off now. Let China pay for them.

Fuck the who

Maybe they can lean on their puppet masters from 🇨🇳. When is the last time the WHO has really been audited for where the money goes?

Trump is blaming everyone other than himself. And the bots are amplifying his BS. Meanwhile, people keep dying. TrumpLiesPeopleDie

WHO members vote. Theres an election coming soon. He’s not making many friends along the way.

smerconish I would prefer to have a leader who is Not crazy.

It is exactly the right time.

Trump blaming someone else for his shocking handling of the situation.

I doubt he cared for the response. I doubt it was a threat. 🤣

Dr Tedros should just resign. He’s the source of all problems with WHO.

Well ItIsTime for Intelligence to Overcome Ignorance PayAttention TheTruthWillSaveLives for REAL Truth

Why not? They’re only good for one thing and they completely missed the mark at that while simultaneously revealed how deep in China’s pocket they are.

China lied. Who lied

Now is the perfect time. Maybe your boss China might pay you up.

Trump threatens fundings which usually comes around to bite his ass

Is realDonaldTrump right to cut funding to WHO ?

WHO lies. China lies

Cut it! The only thing that matters is the Fed pump.
