I do understand a large amount of the backlash against the WHO. We send large amounts of money to the WHO and in all honesty they probably should've reacted a bit faster to the Coronavirus outbreak in China and shouldn't have relied on Chinese authorities to ensure that they were being legitimate. You can' trust China when it comes to stuff like this, and I think the WHO was relying heavily on Chinese information which made their response slow.
Why send money to a global health organization that didn't really do much here? I know that they're probably handling many other things, and the Coronavirus wasn't their only medical issue to be handling -- but still.
If Trump was smart he'd start his own health organization that is run by US health officials and is properly funded for future pandemics.

Or is this just Trump's way of finger pointing in the face of his own administration's apparent failure to contain the spread of the virus?

Trump just wants a scapegoat from his failure obviously, he and his experts should have foreseen this pandemic, because they are monitoring it, they could have taken action and ask the New York mayor to totally lock down the city as early as possible, now New York is one of the city with a very high casualties.
locking down an entire city (the biggest in your country) basically trashes your currency
american left is full of retards who want to bankrupt and destroy america.
and i am saying that as someone living in germany/europe, we all can see the stupidity of the left in the usa.
When the currency situation gets bad enough, people will start using Bitcoin and the altcoins.

this news is empty of any real threat
firstly.
america donates quarterly. and already gave the first quarter amount
secondly 60-90 days will be the time of the next payment
so saying he wont pay anything for 60-90 days is like someone getting paid a wage every month and a boss saying after paying you for the month you wont be getting paid for a month..
its just a bit of empty chest thumping to pretend he is holding money ransom when the truth is the money isnt even due until after trumps deadline anyway.
but it does make a bit of entertainment.
as for what he can do legally and easily.
yea he cn stop the voluntary contributions. but yea they are voluntary. as for the key specific projects that have more legal contracts tied to them. well he cant easily stop them if he ups the drama after 90 days are up
im going to guess trump will say (in his usual style)
'i had phone call, good phone call, very good people, yep WHO are very good people and they have been very friendly, yep we best friends. very best friends, they have made me happy in the conversation. so i will fund them. very happy with the result'

All right! Some progress regarding the WHO Coronavirus lies.

Coronavirus outbreak: Trump cuts funding to WHO, orders investigation
During a daily briefing with the coronavirus task force on Tuesday, U.S. President Trump announced that his administration will be cutting all funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) as the U.S. government conducts an investigation that is expected to take 60 to 90 days.
The U.S. president claimed the WHO failed to disclose or respond to what he called "credible" information in December that suggested the virus could be spread through human-to-human transmission.
Trump also blamed previous administrations, saying the funding should have been cut a long time ago and that they'll be looking at all the mistakes that have been made.
Trump also called the World Health Organization, very "China-centric."

Trump certainly wants to cut the funding. Whether he'll be able to do so from a legal perspective is another question.
Of course this has nothing to do with the efficacy of the WHO. This is just the classic Trump behaviour of looking around to find a scapegoat to deflect from his own poor decisions. At first he tried to blame CV-19 on China, now it's the WHO. At least with China there was some culpability in their silencing of the initial whistleblowers, even if their response after that point was very good. With the WHO though, they haven't done anything blameworthy at all. The fact that the US is struggling to contain this thing is a consequence of the decisions of the US administration.
Harry Truman used to have a sign on his desk, saying 'the buck stops here'. Trump doesn't.

Would be great if true, but I can almost guarantee that it is a sham. Part of the WWF show which Trump excels at, and his hoard of dead-enders will eat it up.
If Trump did cut the funding it would be on paper only, and then the paper would show the Bill Gates is the top contributor to the W.H.O.. Even being the 2nd biggest contributor was enough to get 'his man' into the top position. And Mr. (not Dr.) Tedros Adhanom has proven satisfactory in getting the scamdemic underway. Time will tell if Tedros has what it takes to get everyone on earth (except the ultra-wealthy) their gene-modifying RNA vaccines and bio-metric tagging which seems to be Bill Gates' primary interest.
I do sense that the W.H.O. itself seems to be becoming damaged goods as the truth behind the balognavirus drips out. Jewtube no longer spams every vid with links to W.H.O.'s website.

Although it has yet to be determined whether Trump alone can do that, the threat could actually result to WHO losing more than $400 million per year, and in the middle of a global war against a highly contagious virus. The US is the largest donor of the world's leading health organization which works to improve global health. The loss of such huge funding could also mean the deprivation of much needed health programs and initiatives of the world's most vulnerable community and people.
Under fire from the US president, WHO is said to be a terrible failure in its advisories' timing and its early assessment of COVID-19. The organization is also accused of being China's accessory in hiding the real situation early on, which partly caused the seemingly uncontrollable spread of the virus right now.
Or is this just Trump's way of finger pointing in the face of his own administration's apparent failure to contain the spread of the virus?
