He is head of the government and half the people think he is doing a good job on the pandemic that he governs whether you like it or not. Voted in by an elected due process democracy. You can always watch your own government’s actions; I am sure where you live they have government press conferences. So why are you so worried what America does? Why rely on America to come save your ass, pay for it yourself if you want. Why are other countries glued to the US politics like a rubbernecker looking for gore even before the train wreck? I realize Trump is a media draw but you are doing it to yourselves and adding to the circus. Why do other countries think the US should bail them out and be the global leader. I thought that is what your beloved UN did? If you think you want to give more money to the corrupt WHO go ahead they are not all that ethical who they take money from. They will even take money from Norway’s oil fund, Gates or Soros as they don't seem real picky on who's money they waste.
Normally it's hilarious from a distance, now it becomes dangerous.
How does it become dangerous to you personally exactly? Open up your pocket; problem fixed.
Have you heard of confirmation bias, and have you ever asked yourself if this at least possibly could be the case with you in this matter?
Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or strengthens one's prior personal beliefs or hypotheses. It is a type of cognitive bias.
Don't get back to me and say..the same to you.. Yes I have asked my self many times.. and I have even agreed with trump on one of his hunches. He said it's my hunch that the death/mortality rate of the corona virus is below 1 %. even when all the initial reports said 4% etc. So that one was actually true. And I even believe we are overreacting towards the Covid-19, but at the same time I know that the better and wise thing to do is ALWAYS to be expecting the worst case (if possible) and prepare for such. Because we didn't know the virus, and don't know enough about the long and short term effects of it.. So Trump got some points and hunches that is good..but I have come to the conclusion that the correct thing to do regarding health is that we always have to be prepared, protect and have plans, first priority.. but he didn't. We simply cant't base our protection choices of the life of others on hunches! That's simply not the better average strategy. You can buy on hunches..but never buy on hunches, if the stake is human lives. But not to admit to his errors, respect others, learn and change...but only to change, and still lie about prior opinions and statements will have to make his downfall.. more and more people will have to see that he is the opposite of any person whom we actually like and adore in everyday life. And he has the same going as a priest.. tell comforting lies..instead of the truth.. Works for some.. but some times the truth is refreshing.. I hope. But people are strange.. so many religious people too..based on no proof what so ever.. so I wouldn't be surprised if they, by their confirmation bias, cheer him on for a new period.. more crumbs..
If you mean what you say, you would not appreciate or use WHO advice?
If you get sick with Covid-19, or someone in your family..will you let yourself or your family be treated with the drug that the WHO project will outline as the best treatment around the world? Yes, or no? Will you refuse the medicine? Or will you take it?
Do you really believe Norway pay WHO and CEPI etc. without getting back what they expect? Why on earth would they? Our earlier greatest prime minister have even been leading WHO and stopped other possible pandemics. And she said. The countries has been warned! Many many times! They don't prepare.. A whole report jus prior to this concluded that! What's your big national plans, get it outlined, have all key personell ready, prepare your stock etc. Nothing happened.. WHO often talked to deaf ears was the conclusion..
