Trump, the World Health Organization and American Soft Power

It should not shock any of us. President Donald Trump is doing what benefits him. He is also following the dictates of his nationalist, America First, base. Perhaps, he is also following the dictates of his friend, Vladimir Putin. He called him a few times in the last few days, and one wonders what this was about? Ostensibly he is talking with Putin about the Pandemic and presumably coordination during a global crisis. Yet, one has to wonder.

One of the things his nationalist, far-right base, believes is in United Nations black helicopters. They also know that the UN is inching towards a world government. Trump also made serious mistakes at the beginning of the pandemic, which has led to thousands of deaths. So he is desperate to blame somebody else. The buck will never stop with Trump. His base is quite pleased as well and will believe any of the gaslighting their cult leader spouts. It is way past time to call MAGA exactly what it is, a death cult.

So Trump decided that it was high time to leave The WHO high and dry, during a pandemic. Why? He is now blaming them, after a long list of specious reasons for why this has been a failure. Remember, Trump tried to blame Democrats for this early on by calling this a Democratic Hoax. He has moved from that to a long list, including China (which he originally thanked for the good work they were doing). So now we have settled on the World Health Organization.
