Not only tries to re-write history, but also the present as if what happened is not happening.
Facing the biggest crisis you have faced in over 100 yrs and he only cares about what people think of him.
No, no US President has ever behaved even remotely close to this. Nixon comes the closest, and even he was far from what Trump is doing. He's corrupt. He's a proven liar. He's incompetent. He's a child. He's dangerous.
If this wasn't an election year Trump would have to be impeached for his utter incompetence in this crisis. But the Senate Republicans would still not vote to remove him. Power at any price.

three years of investigations of Benghazi.

I've been saying this since 2015: What Trump really, really wants to be is a right wing talk show host. If the R party were sane, that's what he would be doing today, instead of killing people.
On a Saturday in early March, Donald J. Trump, clad in a baseball cap, strode into the Situation Room for a meeting with the coronavirus task force. He didn’t stop by the group’s daily meetings often, but he had an idea he was eager to share: He wanted to start a White House talk radio show.
At the time, the virus was rapidly spreading across the country, and Mr. Trump would soon announce a ban on European travel. A talk radio show, Mr. Trump excitedly explained, would allow him to quell Americans’ fears and answer their questions about the pandemic directly, according to three White House officials who heard the pitch. There would be no screening, he said, just an open line for people to call and engage one-on-one with the president.
But that Saturday, almost as suddenly as he proposed it, the president outlined one reason he would not be moving forward with it: He did not want to compete with Rush Limbaugh.
No one in the room was sure how to respond, two of the officials said. Someone suggested hosting the show in the mornings or on weekends, to steer clear of the conservative radio host’s schedule. But Mr. Trump shook his head, saying he envisioned his show as two hours a day, every day. And were it not for Mr. Limbaugh, and the risk of encroaching on his territory, he reiterated, he would do it.

I hope he gets his wish by next year when he’s voted out. It is obvious he only works hard on the stuff he’s interested in, like demobilizing people and getting attention and a reaction. That is why he loves the frequent rallies - he’s up there with getting cheered on by a bunch of fans who are never going to criticize him. It’s like AA, they applaud no matter what he says. Even after he’s gone, it’s going to be very hard to clean up the massive shi+ stain he’s leaving behind.

One also needs to remember that these 3 letter organisations are not there for those who 'have', they are mostly there for the 'have nots' and stabilising the world in that way. The people of 3rd world who don't have a voice or the commercial power to get education and health.
Blaming them (even incorrectly) for not knowing that an epidemic virus could become pandemic and epidemic in your first world country, says more about you than about them. If you need a body like WHO to tell you about health, or the UN to tell you about rights, then you are either third world or deserve to be heading that way.

No. You're thinking of the World Bank, which is indeed extortionary by design, e.g. they give money to third world countries if they agree to the terms which often means conforming to Western ideals. Not saying it has bad results, but that's what it is.
WHO was established as a world epidemiological service under the UN to promote universal public health. WTO was established to promote free trade but I'm pretty sure they don't actually do anything at all. All of these were established right after WW2 when everyone was feeling great. The world has grown up since then.

Why are you still stuck in that era? These organizations have all moved on bud. Their mandates have changed. I have worked directly with both WHO and UNICEF on innovative finance initiatives through my firm and have first hand knowledge of their effectiveness. No other organization is equipped or expert enough to handle the work they do. They are able to organize and mobilize humanitarian aid very quickly and navigate politics to get real results on the ground. The speed at which they can procure and distribute vaccines is unmatched. Other organizations including some governments actually seek out WHO to procure on their behalf. The absence of WHO would be catastrophic. You don’t see that because you live in your first world bubble. Try to keep up and actually understand the work they do before opining. Also, the whole UN system and sister agencies is a tiny price to pay for the peace and prosperity we have enjoyed since WW2. You are a fkn ignorant clown.

Rigged likes to accuse Biden of having dementia, but Trump's behavior has been really odd. Although common sense and the constitution makes it clear he doesn't have the absolute power to open the economy, he claims he does, that it will be the biggest decision of his life, hypes his announcement for a week and then backs down. His desire to have a radio talk show was ridiculous and insisting for his name to be on the stimulus checks is a joke.
He should have been removed from office, through Article 25, for some time now.

None of the investigations came up with evidence to support the allegations against the Obama officials. Trump presents the evidence of his own malfeasance daily.

WTO was created in 1995 after the conclusion of GATT's Uruguay Round.
Yeah, I am pretty much sure they do nothing. That's why President Trump bypasses their dispute settlement, and directly takes his fight to China. I'm glad you agree with our great president.
We should get out of WTO so that all the other countries in the world can set separate tariff rates on US goods. We will be winning so bigly!

Supposedly they'll be a website or link at the irs.gov site where you can enter your bank info and get your money within a few days. Friday was the scheduled day to be available.

There is zero evidence that the WHO did anything wrong. Every public statement from WHO was truthful. Even the statements cited in your article are completely truthful.
We are in a crisis. Over 25,000 Americans have died. We still don't have good testing.
Just stop with your lies.
Yeah, defund them - and the UN too while you're at it.
Just stop with your ignorance, Fatpole. The UN is a globalist organization that despises the USA and Trump. WHO is part of the UN and takes their orders from China.
Bill Gates can fund them himself.
