Trump Calls Out World Health Organisation (WHO) for Their “China-centricity” and for Calling Every Shot Wrong on COVID19 Chinese Virus!

Posted on Leave a comment
In a long overdue commentary, US President Donald Trump has threatened to hold back funding to the embattled World Health Organization, leaving the struggling globalist organisation without the slush fund from its largest donor, as many of its 194 members are currently being ravaged by the coronavirus. Will China, who has largely seemed to be calling all the shots at WHO, and has allegedly recovered, step in and take up the slack, even as the WHO demands that the world must show China “gratitude & respect“?
