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.

H5N1 go brrrr
H1Z1
Hehehehe. Sad but true
If it wasn’t dead obvious the US is trying to kill its citizens just yet, it should be now
But this + Musk’s Nazi salutes + Brainworms’ anti-vaxxer nonsense will lower the price of eggs!
…will lower the price of eggs!
Keep saying this
Oh, I plan to.
Need to keep refocusing on the dinner table issues. We know he likes to distract
Problem is, bullshit like this also kills people outside the US borders - people who didn’t get a vote in this but will be negatively impacted.
The US isn’t. Trump and his fanatical followers are.
Because they made him look bad, contradicted him, and kept track of how bad the pandemic got.
It should be wildly apparent that trump hates oversight - anyone keeping track of anything he’s even tangentially involved or interested in - far more so if it makes him look bad.
Also, one of his principles is that ignorance is strength.
War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength
Well, that’s just genius. Between things like this and Brainwormz, it’s like he wants lots more Americans to die than the last time he was in charge, where he was the cause of more American death than any other single cause.
He was put in to sabotage the US. Everything he does is to add to the chaos and further weaken legitimate institutions.
This won’t cause more deaths in America, but mostly in developing countries. It just proves america is best.
I wouldn’t rule it out hurting us as well. We are all connected, after all.
That’s just reality. We don’t believe in that anymore. Apparently
Covid 2 electric boogaloo
Darwinism in action. The iq of the world would collectively rise.
6.8 billion annually… Isn’t that close to the daily defense budget? And 10 times less than Trumps shitcoin?
It sounds actually cheap, and US only paid 1/5 of that
Can he even do that?
No it should be up to Congress, but executive has been encroaching on legislative and judicial powers for centuries to centralize power under the president to the point now over the last few decades they now use executive orders as short term legislative and judicial changes unrelated to civilian oversight of military, administration of the executive, or veto power over the Senate.
Doesn’t matter, it’s happening
Yes
Presidents have lots of leeway in how treaties are implemented. Congress can challenge them on that, but they can’t micromanage the process.
Oh honey…
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!
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 was polling significantly worse than Harris.
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.
Trump is to blame for his own actions, but as someone who watched the debate, holy shit it looked like Biden was dying onstage
Trump didn’t even try to retaliate. It was literally punching down
I watched it live. Biden was actively sunsetting in front of us. If he was my grandpa I would have been calling nursing homes that afternoon.
And trump and vance said shit as insane as “concept of a plan”.
The key is that (social) media keyed in on biden spending the first half of his debate passing out from chugging nyquil and just laughed at the “joys” of turmp saying stupid shit.
Social media is what won this. It is comparable to JFK vs Nixon back in the day where people who listened like Nixon and people who watched loved JFK. Except it is instead that people mostly just waited for someone else to tell them how to feel period.
That debate would have been a disaster in any era since radio was invented, with or without social media
Except it was only a disaster for one candidate.
Which is the point. trump can be literally dismantling the country from day one and people STILL talk about biden because twitter and their favorite compromised twitch streamers do.
THAT is the problem. In a rational world, we would have had the “turd and a douche sandwich” stupidity with how horrible both candidates were. Instead? BIDEN OLD!!! FUCK YOU BIDEN!!!
And if you don’t think you are susceptible to being manipulated? Look in a damned mirror and do some soul searching because we all are.
Trump wasn’t rambling on more than usual. He seemed reasonably alert. Biden was sleepwalking, talking nonsense and repeating “and by the way” a thousand times. If we’re talking only about the debate, trump put on a much better performance and won by a wide margin. I don’t need social media to tell me that, I saw it with my own eyes
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.
Dude, just stop. I voted for Kamala, I wanted Biden out because by the debate, it was undeniable that Biden literally couldn’t do the job and we were actually being asked to vote for a corpse over a fascist. I mean, I would, but still, in the name of the Buddha. Trump came in and did more (awful shit that I disagree with) in the first hour than Biden did in his whole term. No getting bullied by his own party, no fretting about Congress or whatever, he just came out of the gate swinging. Meanwhile, democrats can’t even make it off the launch pad and have to settle with reframing already existing stuff as a win, as in the case of student loans. If the democrats want to win, they need to give people a reason to show up besides “slightly slower slide into fascism”
Dems didn’t force Biden out, voters did. He would have lost HARD.
Obligatory leopards and faces comment.
Hope he’s the first one to be eat up with it
Damn, we have a projectionist as POTUS…
god forbid what if they spent money actually on health-care instead of AI and crypto.
you know what happened the last time we left the WHO? covid happened.
