11 days into the 30 day deadline from his letter, Trump hasn& #39;t yet bothered to specify his reform demands but is furiously angry that WHO has failed to implemented them.
Utter nonsense. https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1266443209724448768">https://twitter.com/Acyn/stat...

No question WHO needs further reform. I& #39;ve spent 5 years working on it.
If that& #39;s your real goal, you do the ****ing work. You lay out a vision. You make the case. You do the shoe-leather diplomacy with other member states. You build support. And you pass real reforms.

That& #39;s what the US did after Ebola. And it led to the biggest and most effective set of WHO reforms in years.
This is the opposite of that. It& #39;s not a reform agenda, it& #39;s a ransom note. And Trump just shot the hostage halfway through the countdown.

You know who thought WHO was doing a great job during the period when Trump now alleges they catastrophically failed? https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1232058127740174339?s=20">https://twitter.com/realDonal...
The bottom line is that none of this is about WHO& #39;s performance. It& #39;s purely about deflecting accountability for 100k dead Americans, and counting, on Trump& #39;s watch.

And here& #39;s a deep dive on why WHO& #39;s Director General can& #39;t unilaterally make the changes Trump might want to see - the member states have to do that. https://twitter.com/JeremyKonyndyk/status/1251355977485635586">https://twitter.com/JeremyKon...

This right here has always been the bottom line. We knew everything we needed to know by late January. It& #39;s why countries like Vietnam, South Korea, etc took action then - because they were listening. We weren& #39;t. https://twitter.com/JeremyKonyndyk/status/1250197613552586752?s=20">https://twitter.com/JeremyKon...
