I knew it was coming but it’s still a punch in the gut. In the midst of a global pandemic.
His niece’s book is on the verge of being released. He’s lashing out and trying to distract. How can we survive the rest of his term while at the same time cope with the pandemic?

The damage he can do in the next 6 months makes me sick.
With any luck, if Biden wins, he'll be able to quickly mend fences with our allies - including getting us back into WHO, NATO and the Paris Accord. Just to name a few.

Honestly, I feel like this admin is really playing with fire. If you look at past revolutions, they usually come when things just get unbearable for enough people, or when people feel that they have little to lose.
When everyone was tied to a job, people were too busy staying above water to protest. With the number of people out of work, that has changed. There are a lot of people with nothing better to do and nothing to lose.
When everyone has enough to eat and a roof over their heads, they don't want to risk losing it. Guess what? Those people who are out of work are running out of money and food.
When you have lots of people dying for no good reason, you're going to get some angry families who feel that someone needs to pay for the death of their loved one. It's not going to be the doctors. It's going to be the "leaders" who failed to lead.
Put those three things together and you have a critical mass. Eventually it hits the tipping point and they're going to feel that they have a grievance, they aren't being heard, and there's nothing to lose by trying to go after the people they feel are the cause of it.
Taking us out of WHO is just one more instance of striking out and showing that he really doesn't care what happens to the people of the country. The pandemic is a mild inconvenience for him, nothing more.

My husband has a crazy thought that trump will win this year and then in 2024 one of his sons (or his daughter) will run. If that happens, say goodbye to America as we know it. 😔

tara on a highlight video of Jordan Klepper's conversation with Trump supporters, one man had a shirt on that had several members of Trump's family being president for the next several elections. He also had the math wrong on the shirt and insisted that they would all get elected twice, although the math didn't add up.

Hopefully we'll get rejoin in November when things, hopefully, change.
He is a spiteful little man. I also read he wants to ban the Tiktok app. As if he doesn't have bigger things to focus on. He's probably still pissed the teens on Tiktok successfully ruined attendance at his Tulsa rally. Rest assured, those K-pop loving teens will always be one step ahead of him. Lol

Sad, but true. I am very hopeful that as another poster mentioned, once trump is out, the world will welcome us back. Rose-colored glasses firmly in place.

Is that the same one with the guy who was pissed because Obama was out on vacation during 9-11?? Such a small gene pool. Or puddle.

He’s taken on a lot of responsibilities and is Trumps top confidante. The 2024 election will be an interesting one. I’m wondering if any Republican would dare run against either of them.

Am I allowed to suggest that Biden gets 5 years? The first one just needs to be cleaning up the mess of the previous administration. I kid. I kid. But man is he going to be busy.

This really just makes me ill. In the midst of a world wide pandemic that isn't going away anytime soon, the US pulls support from WHO. I'm sure there are people who think this is a good idea, but wow. Trump just wants to put blame anywhere but on himself and his Fox cohorts who spent weeks saying it was all a hoax at at time when he could have been doing something to prepare. If there ARE people who think this is a good idea, I would sure love to hear their reasons why, because I don't see anything good coming from this at all. It just makes us look like assholes.

I don't think we should have left WHO and pretty much anything Trump says/does makes me sick, but WHO has a LOT to answer for. They have made mistake after mistake after mistake in this pandemic and they seem to be catering to the Chinese.
We have to have an organization like WHO, but one who doesn't pander. Is that even possible?

Hope to see our American friends back with us around the table for international partnerships, accords and organisations after November.
We still love you. We ache for you. We miss you. Or as we say in French: "Vous nous manquez." (You're missing from us.)

NPR... link”To leave the World Health Organization, the U.S. is supposed to give a one-year notice and pay outstanding dues, according to language the U.S. added to the WHO constitution in 1948.As of June 30, the U.S. owed $198 million in unpaid membership dues.” In 1948 the US must of hand an inkling that this country would elect an idiot as president. I wonder if trump is going to try and stiff the WHO for the owed money, much like he did to those who worked for him when he trump the businessman?

I also read he wants to ban the Tiktok app. I think this is valid to consider, given its links to the Chinese government. But I still agree with the spirit of your post!

It worries me to hear how people are saying Biden is a shoo-in against Trump. The same thing was said about Clinton last time and they had the rug pulled out from beneath them.
