Spoke, let China, India, etc... pickup the USA's shortfall. They can afford it. The WHO will live on.

I just have a problem with cutting funding to an organization that saves millions of lives every year in the middle of the worst pandemic in 100 years all because of someone's ego.

You want to cut funding?  Fine, BUT FUCKING WAIT FOR THE PANDEMIC TO BE OVER.

Further, he may not even have the power to do it.  He might be able to re-appropriate the remaining WHO fiscal year funds to state and local medical allotments but a full on cancellation of WHO funding is not in his power.  He can ask Congress to do it but even Republicans are giving Trump hell for this....so that's not happening.  This is nothing more than a mix of retaliation for ego damage and political points with his re-election in the balance.   And because this directly impacts the lives of millions around the world to appease his ego and politics, I have words to say about it that are best not repeated on this forum.

I'll be blunt. People. Will. Die. Period. And Trump doesn't care.  To him it's just a bunch of "shithole" countries that mooch on us.

Spoke, I hate Trump as much as you do. And we both know he will lose in November, however, c'mon with this virus it seems like

the WHO has been more like the: CHO, as in the China Health Organization.
