I guess his bad image overseas is one of the reasons 80% of them would give their left leg to come here to live....

@Larry The majority like him in Taiwan, and I love him for the friend he has been to Taiwan. And maybe the same in the Philippines also.
But that doesn't change the fact that the majority of people outside the US do not have a good opinion of him.
Pew Research on foreign opinions of President Trump
Quote:
In nearly all nations where trends are available, Trump receives lower ratings than his predecessor, Barack Obama.
Now of course, President Trump is not the President of the world - he is President of the US.
And my comments are only regarding the opinion of non-US people on President Trump, nothing to do with his policies, etc.

Of course they loved Obama. He let them know from day one that they could walk all over him. They didn't have any respect for him though. It's easy to make people like you if you let then run over you.

I'm sure the Chinese will step up and fill the monetary gap.

They’ll have no counterbalance to their influence now. This isn’t good.
I was actually with him when he wanted to threaten their funding to reform them. I even started a thread about it. But this won’t lead to a good place.
This is anti-leadership.

We won’t be changing anything. This will be a Chinese dominated institution the way it was dominated by us in, say, 1990.

I understand that. I was trying to say that if we want reform, it would be better to do while still a member rather than looking in from the outside. For sure, we will not be able to do anything with WHO in that situation.

Empty threats don’t change anything either.

Well he probably can’t actually get it done by November.

The US has been footing the bill for WHO to the tune of almost 1 billion a year. What have we gotten from them in return - NOTHING. China has funded the WHO around 86 million a year. What has China gotten in return? A puppet that carries water for them, and because they engaged in a cover up for China and acted as a propaganda arm, millions of people around the world are dead.
Tell me why the American taxpayer continue to throw away a billion dollars a year on an organization that has become nothing more than a propaganda tool for China.

For the same reason we fund the U.N. /sarc

That's true. We should defund them and kick their asses out also.
