Bill Gates says Trump's decision to halt WHO funding is 'as dangerous as it sounds'

Donald "always looking for a scapegoat" Trump.

4/15/20
President Donald Trump's decision to withhold funding to the World Health Organization pending a review of its handling of the coronavirus pandemic is "as dangerous as it sounds," Bill Gates said Wednesday. "Their work is slowing the spread of Covid-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever," the Microsoft founder and philanthropist said in a tweet. The WHO declared coronavirus a public health emergency of international concern in late January and a week later, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pledged up to $100 million to help contain the outbreak. Those funds, the foundation said, would be used to help find a vaccine for the virus, limit its spread and improve detection and treatment. About $20 million was directed toward groups including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and WHO.

Trump said Tuesday a review of the WHO will cover its "role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of coronavirus," he said. "Had the WHO done its job to get medical experts into China to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out China's lack of transparency, the outbreak could have been contained at its source with very little death," Trump said. In response to criticism by the president last week, the head of the WHO outlined a timeline of the organization's actions in response to the pandemic, saying in a statement, "please don't politicize the virus." "If you don't want many more body bags, then you refrain from politicizing it. My short message is: Please quarantine politicizing Covid. The unity of your country will be very important to defeat this dangerous virus," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

Trump removed the US/CDC specialist in China in 2018. US intelligence was informing Trump in November 2019 of COVID in China so he knew early on. President Trump is trying to blame the WHO for its early coronavirus response and basically "taking China's word" - yet here was Trump himself in *January*.....

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!

Trump believed Xi's disinformation instead of US intelligence and now he needs a WHO scapegoat for his "Lost Month" of February 2020 when he didn't do a thing about COVID except label it a "Democrat hoax". This is how Trump prepared the US for the looming novel coronavirus pandemic.....

What does he have to do with Trump publicly praising China, and thanking them on behalf of the United States, and telling the world how wonderful and transparent they are, and once that all bit him in the ass, now trying to throw the WHO and China under the bus?

Did DeBlasio force Trump to do that?

At the state and local level - where shutdowns and stay at home orders are (or are not) being made.

Can't defend Trump, so try and divert to DeBlasio.

A common Trumper tactic.

What was it you wanted Trump to do in February? And if it was so obvious, where are your posts here demanding action back in February?

With the governers, because the president has no authority over the states.

If the World Health Organization screwed the pooch, then there needs to be a review before we give them any more money.

The WHO is the service provider and The United States is the customer. If the customer isn't satisfied with the service, the customer is under no obligation to continue to pay for the service.

How about the Jan. 24 Secret Intel Briefing that began a series of insider trading?

He will be held responsible in November for everything.

They've learned the tactic from their master. To defend Trump, blame someone else.
