'They really called, I would say, every aspect of it wrong,' Trump said of the World Health Organization on Tuesday.

the "Chinese virus" as Trump has done, saying that it could unintentionally lead to racial profiling.

Dr. Mike Ryan, the executive director of WHO's emergencies program, said at a March 18 news conferenceWhen WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared the coronavirus outbreak a global health emergency in January, he urged countries to remain calm and to not impose "measures that unnecessarily interfere with international trade or travel."

Trump said he is thinking about withholding funds to the WHO, saying the international agency pushed back on his travel ban to China early in the COVID-19 outbreak. It's unclear how Trump would do this, however.

Trump is trying to tell us he listened to the World Health Organization over his own advisors in January. That's some new level BS.

While I'm no Trump fan--and I think he always deflects responsibility--the WHO did get the trajectory of the virus wrong and praised China before and after it deemed CV an epidemic. mn

FakeNewsCNBC he just pointed their errors out and their China bias. ChinaLiesPeopleDie

CNBC are such asses, they always use a bad photo of President Trump.

WHO IS WHO I KNOW WHO THEM ARE

And a member of donnies team resigns to open a pandemic supply company. Wonder just where they purchased all the supplies from?

45 is very mentally ill.

SHOCKING!!!! $hitbrick blames someone else.

Finally Trump got something right.

He withdraws and make sure all is well because one is strong as the weakest link in the health chain globally.

What a 💩 don trump is.

now

He blames the Press. He blames the States. He blames that Lady in Michigan. He blames Obama. He blames Everyone and anyone...

This man always finds guilty parties to hide his incompetence. He's disgusting.

Mr President Trump, why it's so hard for you to say :That's my fault?

No other to blame than himself With his Easter-bunny-talk Pointing on finger to WHO is pointing the other 3 to Yourself, enjoy the ride Mr President untill November ! Never saw an USA President so unwordy at the highest office PBUY

Miscalculations are expected by every cultural background who want to learn less workloads and consuming less available products! It's why poor minds want the world to stop so they can come to equal point 'don't do it just be religious' type of landlocked lazy mindsets!

Trump is right

He will do so and instruct all his allies to do the same in order to cripple the WHO and allow the pandemic to hit Africa seriously.

Deflect, deflect, deflect.

A leader who does not take responsibility is not a leader. He is an actor

They did get wrong

Then he denies saying he will defund them, who is senile?

WwAh!

It is true, that WHO has been rather a china centric, rather than saving the world,Change the name to Wuhan Virus where it all started why use covid19, doesnt sound right. WHO officials are playing politics, discarding Taiwan who has done tremendously good in containing the virus

Lardohontas can’t even spell ‘WHO’

It is amusing when he tries his threatening tactics against anyone outside the U.S.

He’ll blame everyone in whole goddamn world before he’ll take an ounce of responsibility himself. One of the many reasons I hate his fucking guts.

He is now just trying to blame everyone other than himself for not handling the situation right.

Oh ffs

The timeline of announcements and constant China praise by the WorldHealthOrg2 validate realDonaldTrump 's blame. coronavirus

just excuse to not pay the fee

Fuck them! & the World Bank too!

wah,lessen how-to-bully

The blame game continues....maybe if we had a REAL LEADER we would not be in this place!!

WHO should just talk over Trump and tell states what to do, they should be holding their own press conferences and start 5 minutes before Trump so the reporters leave Trulp to cover them.

Trump is right. The WHO and the CCP are the enemy of the world.

Hell Yeah!

WHO failed hopelessly ...

Agree on this point with him. WHO got chewed up by China, didnt do thorough investigation and just went by face value of what was shown/told to them. Better they put this in their “lessons learnt” for future when dealing next.

Donald always is blaming someone or something for everything. Why do we have this man in the WH?

Sure & you must do it

Everyone else is always too blame other than him. Always looking for someone to blame. He’s a moron.

What a terrible president we have... Just terrible. Why are people watching this stuff? There's no pertinent information about the epidemic. All he does is whine and moan and blame and it's not useful. Show something or someone useful.

I agree with some of it, however not one attempt was made by his administration, after being warned early on, to block the entrance of this virus into our country. Instead he derailed, called it a hoax and lost precious time.

Not me not me not me

Stupid

Trump blames someone else? No shit.

Smart man. 👍

blamegame misinformationMan

It’s seems U.S. forgot to pay the fee for UN and WHO for three years already

Good

Yes, indeed. Hope Canada can do the same.

Make America Blame Again

Terrible that as Americans are dying in record numbers realDonaldTrump plays politics and blame games. The chaos we see in the USA is all about inadequate pandemic planning by this administration. leadership

i guess hoping for the covid21 the sequel

And people think the tiger king is crazy.

Threats, half truths.. where are the drive thru testing centers at my local cvs , Walgreens, Walmart.. you are a bald faced liar Sir. Your clear implication 3 weeks ago was we would have these. You flat out lied to me, us. Credibility not so good

WHO got it wrong

He looks like the character from Willy Wonka.

They did a pretty poor job. You can’t blame Trump without blaming all of them.

Slower than I would have liked . But wrong, No Mr President.

For this I agree with him. Taiwan was trying to get the word out about the danger of covid19. WHO with CCP backing covered it up. I feel dirty agreeing with Trump.

He is right

WHO doesn’t care about it because they could get all the funding from China.

Wasn't impeachment? Didn't realDonaldTrump tell us that the impeachment distracted his administration? foolsfollowtrump

You anti American jerks. This came from a lab.

Blame blame blame, tell me once trump will ever accept his own responsibility? Not paying his due is in his DNA, nothing new

This guy is unbelievable.. I'm disgusted by the US

As well he should

Wow what is a big liar! The USA needs the direction from an outside source? But he met with Rush Limbaugh who said this was just a cold! What could have gone wrong?🤡👹🤡👹🦠🦠🦠

Korea started dealing with COVID19 in February, but they don’t blame China or the WHO because they prepared. TrumpVirus

DJT: 'I am the only who is allowed to make a complete cock up of the situation and get away with it'

Trump is not wrong on this one. America funds WHO and they’ve been nothing but a mouthpiece for China.

Never take responsibility....always blame, blame, blame!

☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

3 years ago I watched CNBC religiously now...I don't watch it at all. They have jumped the shark and are FULL LIBERAL fake news now. Watch FoxBusiness or business now for your stock advice

At this point he’s blamed everyone and everything for his own failures, except Roger Goodell I think.

Always looking for someone to blame. This has gotten boring. Take it on the chin 45th!

Incorrigible Blamer...I have still not seen him admitting fault even once throughout his presidency....

Another ugly American threat more terrible than the threat of Covid-19 virus!

Bullshit first he said he is going to it. Then forgot he said it one minute later

With this guy, it’s ALWAYS “someone else’s fault.” Can anyone out there, anywhere, think of a leader whom they admire who has NEVER made a mistake ?

No. He blames them for helping the Chinese to spread propaganda. For accepting China's lies early on EVEN THOUGH TAIWAN WARNED THE WHO.

Maybe one day they will have real journalists at NBC.

jfeilders As he bloody well should Tedros Adhanom is a criminal. Who would take this guy's advice on anything other than covering up epidemics?

That’s why he is our President

no one believes that , we all know who is guilty, but it is difficult to admit it when you think you are a genius

Good . They need to be checked on this issue .

Go ahead, Trump! Blaming doesn't save American people. You did nothing when China had the outbreak since January. It is your downplay hurting American economy and killed the people!

Trump himself minimized the threat, even lied about it repeatedly. He went golfing in the middle of it. Now that his strategy Im has failed, he’s hoping to rewrite history and blame someone else. It’s Trump’s fault this for this bad in the US. Now Americans are dying.

I hope the funding does stop

this is one of his guiding principles - never ever take blame. Also push to someone else. He's said this is his approach.

He goes after anyone & everyone. And everyone rolls over. What a year for a pandemic. I wonder about the November elections

Trumpandemic 2020

Maybe this is why?

Well, he’s not wrong

WHO minimized the corona virus threat because WHO has been essentially taken over by China. U.S. backed away from WHO and let China run WHO. US needs to give more money and get more involved in WHO not less!

Me watching that press conference

HE got it wrong!!!!

Well where do the main WHO funds come from? Maybe that might be indicative of why they were late to the game. You don't call a tech foul on fried chicken if you are sponsored by KFC....

Always paying the buck, he will never take responsibility for anything

He’s right tho.

He can blame anyone or anything he wants. But no excuse for this 👇

How many thousands lost their lives because of this tweet? CNBC=FAKE NEWS

TrumpOwnEveryDeath

They actually ran a simulation months ago, but whatever

The WHO said his border plan wouldn`t work. Every time he says 'If we hadn`t close the border to China....', makes me laugh, what an imbecile, whenever people want to travel, they will. And, if their normal ways are not open, they will find other ways to get in.

Useless president. Only knows how to blame

STOP watching Liberal FAKE NEWS...Watch FoxBusiness or even Bloomberg.

Let’s withhold his chances of being in the WhiteHouse again. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
