Trump says a lot of dumb things in general and a lot of dumb things about the virus and this situation as a whole. I make fun of him a lot; not most, but definitely some of my meme thread memes are against Trump. Criticizing WHO and Trump aren't mutually exclusive positions.
That tweet was five days after they even knew this new virus even existed. Within 15 days they had evidence it was spread from human to human. That was January. Over a month later Trump was still calling this a Democrat hoax. That ten days didn’t affect the US’ ability to prepare. It only affected Thailand, Japan, and South Korea.
You’re not holding the WHO to any standard. You’re just repeating conservative propaganda. Two days ago Pompeo was in the media claiming they had no idea it would be this bad, but there was video in the media showing Chinese citizens being forcible removed from their building kicking and scream by people in full head to toe PPE and taken to forced quarantine. And they got the balls to claim they didn’t know? LOL Some anonymous Chinese dude is literally clinging to his door frame by his fingernails while being dragged to quarantine against his will and they had no idea? F’n laughable. That was over 3 weeks before Trump called it a Democrat hoax.
Hell, even now the mode of transmission is still under investigation because this virus is brand new and there are very few studies and the studies that are out there are all less than 3 months in duration and the results are conflicting.
