Like i said i'm not defending the action. and your right it is deflection. But it is going to become more common place that countries cut funding to world wide charitable organisations over the coming years in order to cut over heads. That's just the reality of governments having to borrow at unparalleled levels during a period when the the economy is shrinking at a record breaking level.WHO's advice has been a lot more useful to Americans than the federal government's advice in the past 4 months. The WHO benefits US citizen's, and that had been the bipartisan consensus for decades.
This is him trying to deflect blame by laying it at the feet of those more competent and capable than him.
Over the coming years there is going to be and will need to be massive cuts to compensate for that that just a reality people need to be prepared for. Things like the WHO and organisation like that are going to be hit hard. But then so are pretty much every aspect of government funding.
Of course that doesn't take away that this is the wrong time for Trump to do it.
