As Twitchy reported, at today’s White House COVID19 press briefing, Donald Trump announced a halt on funding to the WHO until the extent of their “role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus” can be carefully investigated.
The WHO will no doubt be pissed about that, but they’ll have nothing on CNN’s Jim Acosta:
As the world is fighting the Coronavirus pandemic, Trump says the admin is halting US funding to WHO pending a review.

Trump is accusing the WHO of mishandling the Coronavirus pandemic while avoiding his own failures on the subject.

Scapegoats blamed by Trump for Coronavirus pandemic:
World Health Organization
Members of News Media
Democrats in Congress
Governors
(Not himself)— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) April 14, 2020
This friggin’ guy.
Jim @Acosta says Trump is sounding like "Bagdad Bob" for blaming the W.H.O., China, the media, Congress, and the Obama administration for the country's early response to coronavirus pandemic. pic.twitter.com/KdWCZ7n4DG

Trump at today’s briefing: “it would have been so easy to be truthful.” He’s talking about the WHO, not himself.
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) April 14, 2020
Well, Jimbo, the WHO was not truthful.

The WHO was more than happy to do the ChiComs’ dirty work for months. From where we’re sitting, they don’t really deserve our money. They don’t really deserve our respect.
They deserve to answer for their role in the COVID19 crisis.
China is a scapegoat after they unleashed a deadly virus on the globe, disappeared doctors who tried to sound the alarm, and repeatedly provided false information.
Yes, Jim. They are the scapegoat. ? https://t.co/rgO8gToANB

China is a scapegoat? This is embarrassing, Jim https://t.co/LEOFx5KjTT

The WHO is supposed to be the source of the data on things like viral outbreaks that world leaders are supposed to rely on.
The WHO and China are why we are where we are today. https://t.co/cu97LfW96c

WHO did mishandle the pandemic, and catastrophically so either as rank incompetence or corruption with China. Trump is facing an election. That's where we'll decide what happens to him. https://t.co/FjRL992qXM

And Jim Acosta deserves to answer for this latest shameful display of journalistic malpractice.
"WHO mishandled the pandemic" is an 'accusation.' Trump 'failed' is #journalism. https://t.co/UznWlzlJN6

China is not a scapegoat. You're actively shilling for a communist regime that disappears doctors and journalists. Take a bow. https://t.co/yVao8COSOL

Show us on the doll where the Chinese paid you. https://t.co/95R74my3aR

The CCP thanks you for you donation, Jim https://t.co/kjcK6zbxfr

American media is now defending the WHO and China.
But don’t dare call them the enemy of the people.
