The director of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, responded Wednesday by essentially accusing Trump of politicizing the virus.
Asked about the notion that a period of global pandemic isn't the most opportune time to cut funding, a second senior administration official shot back:"Now is not the time to be misleading the world about how China covered up the pandemic." The U.S. is the largest funder of the WHO, contributing $14.7 million for the international group's coronavirus fund. But Trump recently proposed cutting the U.S. contribution. So the president's attacks in some ways advance two of his goals: They could cut back on international aid and minimize blame for his administration's handling of the pandemic.
I can't stand to look at that Bastard !!!!
Hahahahaha atta boy Donnie
This administration is just full of bad ideas.
...And the DEFLECTOR IN CHIEF is at it again. Doing his best to SHIFT BLAME & divert attention away from his own INEPT LEADERSHIP & delayed response to this outbreak. Did the WHO tell him to call it the Flu or compare it to annual car accidents stats? It’s not the WHO, it’s YOU!
IDIOTS NEVER LEARN.
Why are we paying so much more then the Chinese ,,? Are other rich countries paying any ,?
Burning another bridge Biden will have to rebuild.
Can we cut aid to Trumps golf trips he’ll be taking again when this us over!
Yeah about time a real president god bless TRUMP
Good. Next?
Still try to run the news cycle
And Trump wants to cut funding to WHO to do what exactly? Lay the groundwork for an even WORSE pandemic response?
All to provide cover to Trump's bogus claim that it was WHO and not his ineptitude that resulted in the covid-19 pandemic slamming us much harder than it should have.

Another stupid initiative. trump’s real estate firm must be better at demolition than building
TRUMP IS AN INCOMPETENT COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF!!! HE CANNOT DO HIS JOB & NEVER WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! HE'S 1 PRIORITY IS ENRICHING HIMSELF [FAMILY & CRONIES/CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS AS WELL.]!!!
Wow. We WANT to be Ugly Americans, once again. We actually WANT it.
For Trump to steal the money
Great news! That's why we elected Big Daddy
We should be cutting it and more, these globalist organizations like WHO and the UN are not our friends.
stop covering these tramp rallies
Booooo (once again)
Don't talk about it....do it.
Good make it happen
Ok
Defund Propagandists 1/14 WHO reports that China has found no evidence of human to human transmission.
When your President decides which Americans in which States live or die, based on how nice that State’s Governor has been to him, you know you really need a new President! This is not Caligula’s empire; this is the United States of America! Let’s get rid of this pest come Nov!
Very good
OK, President Biden can renew the aid in January of 2021! Just before he instructs his AG that he is not letting bygones be bygones and Trump is fair game indictment!
Morons!
Just more republican delay, deny, obstruct, lie, falsify, & deflect by this administration to cover up his abysmal failure of the covid-19 response.
It’s the equivalent of firing them because they blew the whistle.
T had cut other programs set up to help with a pandemic. Why should pulling the US out of the WHO be any different? He did not take one once of responsibility for the pandemic or the death of Americans, but wants the praise. I hate this man.
they didnt treat him nicely or made him look bad
Who gets the money they are taking away?
Great ! Break down another organization that DOES Actually Help People! He makes no profit from it so it is as useless and the National Park System and Health Care.
Trumps Kingdom will continuing spread more misery until the whole 3er world planet fall in their foot on its knees. He doesn't even want 3M to send Humanitarian gear to Latin American countries. So, this Covid Virus will do his job by wreck havoc those countries for him in steps?
I guess he wasnt happy with firing the USA pandemic crew & putting America at risk. Now his goal is weaken the WORLDS team on pandemics. He is showing us human life has no value
Good! They fuckin lied and covered up for the CCP
Yup. Trump is trying to kill a vast amount of the population of the Earth.
Burn another bridge with your flame thrower. Working to sever all ties to allies, no matter what the organization, Paris Climate, World Health, alienate Canada...see a pattern here?
Is there no one in Congress who can/will stop this lunatic from making irresponsible decisions that affect an entire nation?!!!
Why?
It’s all about money to Donald.
This guy is a total genocide man, He’s belong in prison
Then the WHOs down in WHOville will all cry boo-hoo.
F. F. Saaaaaaaaake. 🙄🤯
Awesome
EverythingTrumpTouchesDies
Right because he has such a good job handling this pandemic. That is why we have highest death rate ever.
The blame game and reduction of funding. This is how Trump made America’s response weak in the first place. He is a creature of habit.
GOOD
Truly lost in the sauce, time to clean house Nov 20’ Cult45 CorruptGOP Unfit45
The WHO is the new scapegoat. If that doesn't stick they will find something else to blame. They are pathetic.
Good
This President and his Administration has done everything to keep from helping America through this crisis: not getting PPE/ventilators to hospitals (states in bid wars), not issuing a national stay-at-home order, now cutting funding to WHO during a pandemic. Ignorance or Malice?
Well, sure. After all those $ saved cutting out pandemic response. That's how the orange dummy bankrupted CASINOS. Jenius thinking. Though, culling our population + boosting the economy without all the material loss of war but all the benefits. MAYBE he is a Jenius to delay. 🤔
If a bank was being robbed Trump would want to fire the security guards.
Great! One more thing Joe will have to undo! 😳🤦🏻♀️😳😡
The world health organization is a joke. They've shown they do not care about world health. They lied to the planet when the planet needed them most. Bought and paid for by china.
Gotta have a scapegoat. 🙄🤬
Pathetic!
He had to blame somebody.
🤬
trumpisaloser only a sociopathic narcissist would cut funding to the world health organization during a global pandemic. Way passed time to remove Trump from office. There is incompetent clown is going to kill millions.
It is astonishing to observe the implosion of the USA. 4 more years of Trump will hasten the inevitable downfall. Who in the world still takes Americans seriously?
Trump is just a bundle of instincts now, unbuckled from truth, understanding, or compassion and careening around in search of satiation. And he doesn’t care whom he destroys because he doesn’t care about you or me.
Trump always thinks that money will get him, what he wants. The truth is that money will make Trump do whatever you want him to do.
We only provide about 15% of their funding. I’m sure they’re shakin’ in their boots over DementedDonny’s furious actions 🙄
He really is a murderous thug.
UnAmerican !
Yes, it needs to happen. Thank you Mr President!!.
A tiger cannot change it's spots!
realDonaldTrump..stop blaming WHO, stop blaming Obama, just stop blaming..stop promoting untested drugs...YOU are already responsible for those who have died & are criminally responsible for pushing the use of these untested drugs...TrumpGenocide
realDonaldTrump TOOL
idiot
Best think twice
Trump throwing another fit and tantrum trying to discredit and alienate anyone who disagrees with his perverted view of he world.
Nbc- Comcast- Universal Studios- theme park in Beijing. Nobody believes a word you say regarding WHO and China. Your own interests come before America's.
The WHO and United States are in this battle together. If we want to reopen economy and get things to normal and then expect growth WHO and USA are the same hand.
What a baby
Cutting aid, that's what got us in the mess.
Good, they have done nothing with Nicaragua!!!
GOPLeader marcorubio How do you want to vote for Joe Biden where his son Hunter was taking advantage of our government through his father paying himself $50,000 a month in Ukraine. Do you want to have this kind of president at the head of our government?
He is projecting HIS FAILURE onto the WHO now ? Because a running disaster has happened on his watch ! 'I don't take any responsibility for it' . Bring this FACT to the forefront and weld it there. From now until he is out of office, he should be hammered with it, mercilessly.
How much more evidence do we need Trump is mentally ill?
When is America going to wake up! We have screwed our allies.. we have screwed the World & now the US is going to screw the agency that connects the World Health Organizations during a World-wide Pandemic? WTF it's time to step up before its to late!!
He cuts and then he kisses and makes up.
The WHO sucks , not the band
TeamPelosi, can this half-assed attempt to cover for their failed pandemic response be addressed. We Americans are tired of Trump's ego & failure to accept his own incompetence to dictate US policy & allegiances. Trump called it a Democratic Hoax yet now blames all save himself.
Ah... WHO is added to the list of organisations attacked, among religious groups, allies, and non-white communities. Be careful, UNESCO, PETA, SPCA, etc etc. This is SOOOO an appropriate time to start a fight
We can’t get rid of this evil man fast enough.
Actually, WHO needs more aid right now.
Is this really the best time to do this ?
They already were.
How about taking that money and using it to continue testing you stopped funding on April 10th
Whatever. Biden will restore on day one.
Typical “we’re looking into it” bullshit he throws out for the gullible base.
A stupid thing to do during the pandemic but what is Trump doing that is not stupid?
Trump knew in December, maybe even November. WHO declared a public health emergency on 1/30 & a pandemic on 3/11. Trump knew about this for a long time. Trump could have called a national health emergency. He finally started to act on 3/30 - recommending dangerous medications 😡
It’s just another way of him apportioning blame to distract from his own failings.
Deflection. The Repub way!
Shining object and throw a rotten red meat to his MAGA BASE. Despicable
Good job, racist president. You’ve found a scapegoat for the death of thousands of Americans. And he is a Black person. Nothing new.
I am so tired of this corrupt administration
