Trump defunded WHO – next up should be the U.N.

It is magnificent to see President Trump call for a complete and total shutdown of U.S. funding of the World Health Organization until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Now he must do the same for the whole United Nations behemoth.

The American taxpayer is responsible for 22% of the WHO 2020-21 fiscal year budget, an astounding $236.9 million. For comparison, China volunteered about half of that, just $129 million. According to Forbes, $3.5 billion in U.S. taxes have gone to the WHO in the last decade alone. The U.S. also funds about 22% of the U.N.'s budget.

I second that. If PDJT were to do that, it might just push nanzi all the way over the edge. Besides, you have to take care of yourself before you can effectively help others. Not concerned if we lose some 'standing' with other countries. At all.

Yes. Never let a crisis go to waste. Send them packing from our shores.

It would be glorious to see a caravan of moving vans pull up out front to start loading out the building. If I were a cartoonist (and it may exist) I would draw the US with Florida as a nipple and the rest of the world lined up for their share of nursing.

I think he should fund for the demolition of the UN.

And right after the UN, defund NanXi Pelosi.

We really need to look at this as an opportunity to remake our society with our internal enemies no longer in it.

I listened to the Secratary of State Pompeo this morning on Fox Business.

He said that China and WHO both knew this virus was out there and could cause the death and destruction it has, but decided to sit on the information for 10 days...

they kept it secret..and we pay 20% of the funding for this organization? Unbelievable!! simply unbelievable..

The United Nations was created to unite nations in freedom... Not to unite them in socialism, oppression, dictatorships and totalitarianism.

Not only should Trump de-fund them, he should kick them out of New York

The US has very few if any friends among the many Islamic and communist nations which control the UN’s general assembly. Plus, being with the UN gives our enemies impunity in operating espionage networks within the US. And they do - big time!!

*****

MILLION? I find that hard to believe. $236 million is a drip in most states daily budget.

President Trump has not been a fiscal conservative, and he should not have tried that in his first four years.

As for the next four years, I would love to see him prune FedGov - with a chainsaw. Eliminate taxpayer funding for:
- WHO,
- UN,
- EPA,
- Department of Education,
- Department of Energy (put nukes in the Department of War),
- Department of Labor,
- Department of Health and Human Services,
- Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the
- Department of Homeland Security.

- Eliminate ATF and repeal the vast majority of laws that they enforce.
- Put the Department of Veterans Affairs back in the Department of War.

That’s a quick start off the top of my head. After that, we can cut more of the waste, fraud, and abuse. Make FedGov small again!

The whole rotten UN building should be torn down. Let the Euro Weenies build on in Ghana for all we care. Main thing is that not one more dime should be wasted on the corrupt and inept UN.

From the article:Go for it Mister President:

* WHO

* UN

* International Atomic Energy Agency

* Food and Agriculture Organization

Either kill the funding altogether or reduce it to a reasonable level, say, equal to China's contribution.

Great news! The WHO is one super- national outfit I would have supported if it had been run honestly. But now that we can see what it really is, yes indeed shut it down! And the UnitedNazis should be terminated yesterday !! Or rather, years ago already! At least kick the basturds out of USA ! The big building can be used for virus treatment or homeless housing
