Failure: Debunking Trump’s Dangerous New Attack On W.H.O During Pandemic | MSNBC

In an unusual Rose Garden announcement, Pres. Trump attacked and pulled funding from the World Health Organization, raising alarms over how the move may compromise international work to combat the coronavirus. In this special report airing directly after the White House announcement, MSNBC anchor Ari Melber fact-checks the President’s allegations against the W.H.O. — documenting how several apply more to Trump’s initial virus response rather than the health organization. Aired on 04/14/2020.

    1. Underground Frenchy lol 😂. ahah. Americans know that our “president” is clueless, so need to defend him. It’s pointless. 😂🤣😂✌️

    2. Who are talking to???
      Thats the American Public’s job.
      NOTHING Will happen unless you cleave together & mobilize the forces!!
      Nobody is going to do it for you!!!!

      You sound like a victim of the public education system. China intentionally unleashed this virus on it’s own people, and covered it up for months. This allowed 750,000 to fly to America from China at the peak of the virus. There were thousands of infected in America before you ever knew the virus existed. China is using the media to convince fools such as yourself, to blame your own leader instead of them, so you will keep buying their cheap crap.

      You can’t even go to a movie. Therefore, you aren’t going to mobilize anyone to do anything. You have willfully traded your freedom for false promises of government safety. If you rally your friends together to protest, or play bingo, you’ll be arrested. You have no rights, because you believe that a pandemic should allow government to suspend them. Even though there have been many pandemics before this one, that did not interfere with daily life. It’s been proven time and time again, that respiratory illnesses are easily eradicated if everyone wears masks in public. The government knows this, but lied, and told you that wearing masks wouldn’t do you any good. So when are you going to gather up all your friends and march down to your state capitol building and tell them to lift the unnecessary lockdown? I hear crickets chirping.

    1. Agreed, I don’t know why people seem surprised that he continues with his sociopathic narcissistic behaviors. He has never taken responsibility for anything things he’s , I don’t know why people would think just because it is an emergency he would respond that’s the way a normal person would and appropriately. I really wish he would be more helpful and a more competent president but that is not who we elected. I am generally grateful so that he hasn’t caused World War 3 as of yet

    2. @BTIsaac the who is compromised but it still had the foresight to offer the us testing kits which the us refused, so the motivation once again indicates scapegoating and a manipulation of the media cycle and narrative

  1. The Virus was spreading rapidly while he was having his Klan rallies and calling it a Democratic Hoax in February

    1. @Freewheelin’ Franklin he called the coverage and exaggeration a hoax not the virus itself… Was he wrong? Yes, but stop claiming he said something he didn’t.

    2. @MrISkater
      Reread my post. This time form the words with your mouth as you read, it may help with comprehension. Calling coverage of the pandemic a hoax, IS calling the pandemic a hoax. He specifically said “this pandemic is another hoax of the democrats”. Notice he didn’t say “coverage of this pandemic, etc. As a Trumper it’s understandable you can’t grasp a simple distinction like that. Good luck with your indoctrination.

    3. @Freewheelin’ Franklin you’re so lost dude, think for yourself, don’t let mainstream media control your thoughts

    1. @Gods Servant »Remember, friend, that check isn’t from Trump’s pocket, nor federal funds, that’s Tax Payer’s money. “What goes around…”

    2. Trump is the 🐐 100%. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. WHO is cought redhanded being butt buddies with China. The scale of this cover up is astronomical. Msnbc is a joke. So are the mindless drones that support this anti-american rhetoric.

    1. WHO (internal memo): We parrot Chinese government lies and people are dying by the hundreds of thousands!
      Ghosts of the dead/Loved ones of the deceased: 😨 Make WHO pay! 😷
      Trump: Let’s make WHO pay for what they’ve done! 😟
      MSNBC: Way to go WHO!
      🥳 Great job!

    2. List real failures by DJT…..was this taking action while democrats were doing the crap impeachment bowel movements? During that time, racist democrats were whining that the Chinese virus task force was not “diverse enough”. Diversity kills if left to racist liberals.

    1. @Yoda The Clover Holder – as I stated and you so aptly proved, a closed mind is a wonderful thing to waste.

    2. @Liche Christ You should take a course in logic sooner rather than later, and also start taking your own advice.

  2. Him trying g to re write history is a HUGE fail.
    Ask him about who lost in Wisconsin haha
    Lock him.up.

    1. CBS News, not exactly a fan of President Trump, is reporting that China withheld vital information that would have saved lives. WHO was complicit.

  3. Clearly the W.H.O. knows so much less than the man who said not so long ago, “When you have fifteen people, and the fifteen within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero”.

    1. At that time, WHO was saying that casual contact could not tansfer the virus. The WHO and now CNN and MSNBC have become propaganda outlets for the Chinese Communist Party.

      The WHO is a political body, beholden to China, that exists solely to aid in political damage control for the nation that willingly and knowingly allowed this infection to spread globally.

      Shame on anyone who attempts to defend China or the WHO.

    2. Simon Johnson they are restamping the time stamps on the viral outbreak as a collective playing us with AI data mining on our emotions. As they are our evictions and business losses and the losses of our families.

      65 Billion in US Taxdollars for BIOWEAPONS Defense and YOU HAVE NONE.

    3. @Wheatie Sweetie
      I didn’t insult anyone. I stated flat, well documented facts. If you think these facts sound insulting, maybe it’s time to rethink your opinions about these organizations.

  4. Everyone is missing the big picture here. Hes keeping everyone distracted. While he systematically Robs American blind Hes doing it right now and has been for 3 years

    1. Dmitri Fukov I was referring to a specific comment by “God’sServant” which was mean-spirited. I wasn’t talking about all Christians. You’d know that if you’d rea . . . oh, nevermind.

    2. @Ichgebibble Boo Well That’s the truth we need The President I respect most Obama is the best.

  5. Everybody should ask the question: “when will the update on the coronavirus situation start?”

    1. @Empress that’s a rumor right now. let’s wait until investigations confirm whether that’s true before we get ahead of ourselves.

    2. @Empress definitely worth investigating, but because of the severity of the claim I’d rather wait until the results of the investigation are being presented.

    3. @Tor Hunemark I fear and believe it’s true. If you have heard of a chap called Edward Snowden, I was doing similar work. Behind Closed Doors work in places that no-one will find on any maps.

  6. “He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third, time till at length, it becomes habitual.”
    Thomas Jefferson
    Remind you of anyone?
    Like the current President of the United States of America?

    1. @Landon lance
      He is a MAJOR mistake.
      Reality? Track down videos of Biden when he was a member of Congress and the VP, then Google the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. How TOTALLY screwed-up has politics gotten in this country? We’re ending up with a Democrat with Alzheimer’s running against an incumbent Republican President with Alzheimer’s.

    2. @Richie Tattersall Were screwed!
      Why do I feel the current situation is part of the plan and has been schemed…..dont wanna be too paranoid, but is it the beginning of the end? Heard for years of the globalist infiltrating and arranging takeovers but cant be done when a country is strong with secure borders.

  7. The man has always been about himself. When he was in NY springing up buildings he was lauding himself how smart he was and how he was ahead of everyone else in getting what he wanted to build Trump Tower. It’s always been him crediting himself and blaming others.

  8. February 2020
    WHO: declares Covid-19 a public health emergency of international concern
    Trump: “This is nothing to worry about, we have doctors that will have it all under control”

    March 2020
    WHO: declares Covid-19 a global pandemic
    Trump: “It will all go away soon, one day it will disappear like a miracle.”

    April 2020
    Trump: “If the WHO called it earlier than we would’ve been more prepared.”

    Me: WTF

    1. @Angela Siegfried Yeah and he’s in a foul mood since the NY Times release those red dawn emails. It’s crazy his base won’t read them. Of course it proves them wrong…

    2. Empress It is not a military grade virus. The evolutionary traits and genome suggest it naturally adapted to cross over from wild animals to humans. Stop promoting false theories.

    3. @Tonya Sweeney
      It started November,
      12th 2019.
      It’s called Covid 19,
      For a reason.
      tWAMP was informed by C.D.C. H.Q. Atlanta on or near that Date.

    1. 41maddriver … I thought Trump was a Republican ? Apparently he’s a Democrat in Republican’s clothing !

  9. Every time I hear Thump talk I can feel my brain cells trying to commit suicide in screaming agony.

    1. And his supporters are even worse…..honestly it never cease to amaze me how stupid some people can be…

    1. Trump is a money man he knows u need balls to make big decisions to com out on top so the ppl who knows what to do only need to show him the right way instead of fighting him down

    2. Joe Nowak thank you Joe. I will go one step further and say he is not opposed by almost anyone in his party (thank you Mitt Romney) becausebI truly believe that senators like McConnell and Graham fear him. Now why would that be??? They have money and power and are old cooters who need to move on. Sooo…Russian interference…to this level of fear…you can fill in the blanks. Fear for the safety of their families???…

    3. If someone can get trump to believe in their movements he will b the backbone behind it to make sure its mandate is met

  10. “It will go away in April, like a miracle (…) When we have 15 cases and those cases are going to be close to 0 (…) we’re doing a great job”
