Bill Gates slammed President Donald Trump’s decision to withhold $500million in funding to the World Health Organization, saying it's 'as dangerous as it sounds'. The tech magnate, worth $104billion, tweeted Wednesday saying the US' involvement with the WHO is more necessary than ever. 'Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds,' he tweeted Wednesday. 'Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever,' he added. On Tuesday night Trump announced he would halt funding

If little Willy is so concerned, he has the ability to make it up to them out of his own pocket. Or he could run for President with all of the charisma he has.

Gates proves that even if you are a billionaire, you may not have common sense. Why should US taxpayers fund an organization that actively lied to the world about the Chinese Flu?

Willy could get some coin from his pocket and get his other billionaire buds -- Bezos, Zuck, whoever that guy was who was running for president, the other lefty billionaires -- to chip in a hundred mil each and they'd be good to go. Might as well make it a bil total, of course they are going to have more "expenses" to respond to the issues

You know it frosts me when people like Gates who wants the American tax payer to throw money at the organizations he favors which primarily exist to enrich themselves all under the guise of philanthropy. When you find corruption is endemic in these organizations American should pull funding. To allow monies to continue to flow to these organization would be highly irresponsible, if not criminal. So, let Gates fund whatever virtue signaling cause that suits him. Our President was right in pulling their funding. Their incompetence caused thousands of deaths. You do not reward that kind of behavior or you will just get more of the same. Thank goodness President Trump is stopping that foolishness.

Bill, maybe you didn't get the memo, but, WHO is run by one of the most corrupt and evil people in the world Tedros Ghebreyesus. Read up on the genocidal atrocities committed by him against the citizens of Ethiopia then get back to me. You will find that the President is quite correct in cutting off funding.

Why don't YOU fund it, Bill? You never really earned all of those billions of dollars on the Windows products anyway, you have one of the few legal monopolies in the world based on other people's real talent and knowledge and you have the audacity to drop all support on something still in use just because you want to sell the new model and the new model is frequently worse than its predecessor. You OWE us.
I'm getting really tired of this mouthy mouse dropping and his equally egotistical wife.

That is a load of hoey. WHO is a negative force in the world. If Gates wants to do what WHO does, he can afford to just do it, and if it is run properly and not subverted by China, it will be a much better job.

Bloomberg wasted more than that on a failed presidential run and the seditionist George Soros spends much more than that on all of his funded Anti-American, anti-freedom organizations. Let Gates and the rest of the liberal billionaires pay for their favorite programs and leave the rest of us out of it.

In the midst of a pandemic killing thousands, the leftist global cabal stays on course. They view it as imperative to continue aligning themselves with lying, totalitarian regimes and their WHO accomplices. The CCP owns this calamity. The WHO has the blood of thousands on its hands as well due to their deceit and corruption.
Good move Mr. President. Tell the critics to pound sand and pony up their own dough if they feel so inclined. I want none of my taxpayer dollars going toward the UN or the WHO.
Gates needs to shut up telling the rest of us what to do.

Maybe Pres. Trump should give the same amount China gives and let Gates make up the rest if he wants to. We should not be expected to give more than all the others put together.

Interesting thing about Bill Gates, he, and Microsoft, were not engaged in politics until Bill Clinton's administration targeted Microsoft with a lawsuit.
It forced Microsoft to use it's vast wealth to engage politically, hire lawyers, and lobbyists.
It was all by design, get them to spend money on lawyers, then become politically active for Democrats (because it seemed the Democrats would be in control for the foreseeable future) to fend-off any future threats.
Then, it signaled to all the other tech companies to ensure they too were politically engaged.

I have never voted for Bill Gates, and never would. I find talking like a teenager at his age unattractive. Why doesn't Gates fund WHO, if he likes it so much. There is plenty of leftist cash. Why doesn't the left spend their money on anything they say they are for?

I would think it dangerous if he did NOT cut funding. The WHO gives a false sense of security what with their being in the pocket of China.

Yep. That $500 really large is important to the health of the five-star restaurants, luxury hotels and villas, and private jets and first-class ticket sales. Maybe you and the little lady can toss in a few bucks from petty cash.

Both will be disbanded without United States support.

Excuse me, Bill Gates, but that money can stay here in the USA. We taxpayers have been funding so much crap it sickens me. Just like the funding to do the bat study in China by the U. S. National Institute of Health. So you know what you can do with your opinion.

The UN and the WHO are one and the same - they take our dollars and give little in return other than disrespect.
As for Mr. Gates, didn't vote for him, wouldn't ever vote for him.
He made a fortune from selling virus ridden software then charging people to fix it for them. His vaccine program would be much the same.

gee Billy. You sure seem very concerned about not funding the WHO. Do you get some kind of kick-back. Are you using money from the WHO to fund the lab in china. Whats the problem Bill? I pray that PRESIDENT Trump now dumps the UN. Tell the UN to pack their bags and get out of N Y City. In fact, the UN could go to China, along with the WHO. Its who they protect the most. oh Bill, go with them

You know that Trump is on target by those who oppose his actions. In this case it is the Democrats, Gates, the U.N. and China. I'm sure others will be coming out. But those four say volumes about the correctness of Trump's move.

What exactly is the WHO doing to fight COVID-19? Are they providing PPE and ventilators? Building hospitals? Nope, they're having lunches discussing Chinese interests what a good job the WHO is doing fighting the virus.

I might listen to Basic Bill if he had spent some of his money developing a bug free operating system that he sold.
They are still producing a Microsoft enriching product full of code to eliminate opposition. They force Edge and Bing on the PC population.

Trump not only took away their money, he took away their legitimacy.
This is also a message to a bunch of other international groups that only serve as leeches on the world and that the US significantly funds. The UN falls under this category.

I think that Trump is accomplishing a lot of positive things, but one of the most important things that he is doing for our country is exposing "the swamp" and the cast of characters that inhabit it. It ain't pretty.

Gates is going to give WHO $150M. Anyway, Bill and Melinda are responsible for getting the corrupt Tedros promoted to the head of the WHO. Tedros is a member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a communist revolutionary terrorist group. Gates also has some underhanded business interests with the ChiComs. He needs to be investigated now.
