What did Daltry do to piss Trump off?
He doesn't want to get fooled again?
POTD!
Do I get any credit for the setup?

Yes! 10% of all winnings.

I've seen several "man on the street" interviews of random people in several countries, including Taiwan. What they showed is quite different from your take on it.

I agree. Taiwan has not had a better friend than President Trump in a long time.
But, I will still stand by my personal experience of speaking with people first hand who are living in various countries. President Trump does not have a very good majority image overseas.
-
@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.

‘The Trump administration has formally notified the United Nations that the United States will withdraw from the World Health Organization ...’

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.

@jon-nyc In many times, it is easier (and more productive) to change something from the inside rather than try from the outside.
-
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.

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
