Trump has long been critical of how the Geneva-based institution handled the Covid-19 pandemic.

Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO) on his first day back in office.

This marks the second time Trump has initiated this process, citing the WHO’s “mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic,” failure to reform, political influence, and “unfairly onerous payments” by the US.

Public health experts warn the move could harm global disease control efforts and US leadership in health innovation.

Under Biden, the US was the WHO’s largest funder, contributing nearly 20% of its $6.8 billion budget in 2023.

    If it wasn’t dead obvious the US is trying to kill its citizens just yet, it should be now

    So at this point it’s apparent he learned nothing, and democrats genuinely thought they could force biden out, and we would just vote kamala in… Stupid pelosi, that’s not the reason kids love cinnamon toast crunch!

      Republican learned plenty.

      Their wealth skyrocketed from covid. And we demonstrated that we can pump money short term into pharmaceuticals so that the rich are safe.

      They want another pandemic. But this time a never ending one.

      Biden actually would have lost in a blowout. I think democrats not making any effort to reign in media and social media companies after the pandemic is the major problem.

      +There is a point where failing to knock on doors paired with media blaring lies everywhere ends up with a world where like average swing state morons are voting for a leopard to eat their face because the dems are the real face eaters or something.

      Biden took himself out by losing a debate to Trump

        Biden could have literally punched trump in the face and still been weak and old.

        Because most of the country didn’t watch. They read Twitter reactions.

        And now we have people like you who will blame every fucking horrifying thing trump does on Biden because your social media is full of tankies.

      Biden was polling significantly worse than Harris.
