He will be blaming Rocket Racoon if he thinks the press corps will write about it for an afternoon.

This must be from the Onion, or someone who is trying to play a trick. To stop sending money to WHO (in the middle of a fucking pandemic) would be like withdrawing from Paris Climate Accords in the middle of an existential threat of GLOBAL WARMING! This must be satire, (or I really need to check and make sure I didn't mix up mom's antipsychotic/delusional meds with my own cholesterol meds)

They must have told those leaders about it?

A real shame they didn't notify Trump and so many Americans have to die...

Then it was they were too busy defending themselves against a fake impeachment. Now it’s WHO. Bet that doesn’t stick any better than the others did. Must be a shock that his usual scam isn’t working.

While he was golfing, holding rallies and calling the virus a new Democratic hoax.

He uses the big lie technique of Goebbels, the only trouble is there's easily researched and play video nowadays.

Such a lying, blame-shifting maggot he is.

Even when he's wrong his twisted mind must find a way to justify this by shifting the blame or attention onto someone else.

To stop sending money to WHO at this time especially is just one more incidence on an extremely long list of examples showing how morally bankrupt, utterly contemptible and unbelievably stupid Trump is.
