Trump's main strategy for everything seems to be shifting blame for his mistakes onto other people. The most recent target is the World Health Organization (WHO), which Trump has unilaterally decided to stop funding because he says they handled COVID-19 poorly. In reality, he himself handled and continues to handle the COVID-19 pandemic extremely poorly. Sign on if you want the U.S. to keep funding the WHO!

In fact, the WHO developed a test within days of the virus sequencing's release in January and offered it to the whole world. Trump said "no thanks" and that delay has cost tens of thousands of American lives so far. If this pandemic has shown us anything, it's just how interconnected the whole world is which means it's in everyone's best interest to make sure we all have appropriate healthcare.

The U.S. is the single biggest contributor to the WHO and this stop in funding will absolutely cost lives across the globe. The World Health Organization has done more globally to combat the coronavirus pandemic than Trump has by magnitudes. It's critical they have enough resources to keep going. Sign on to demand the U.S. continues to fund the WHO!

P.S. Trump is pulling funding from the World Health Organization and that will be a disaster for fighting the coronavirus pandemic. Sign the petition to demand the U.S. keeps funding the WHO!
