Trump is now also claiming to what to take custody of the Panama Canal.
Somehow, despite his constant threats of being a dictator on day 1 it never clicked to me that he also meant being an expansionist.

A lot of people, especially since Trump left office, feel that the WHO was spreading lies about COVID, making it out as more dangerous than it was, and promoting “solutions” to it that helped no one, and as such do not want anything to do with it anymore. That’s probably why he wants to pull out of it.

Just because they say that doesn’t make those claims true, and he couldn’t give a damn that that’s how they feel. That’s not why he’s cutting funding.

Has Trump and other people backed their claims with evidence, or are just claiming that to pretend Trump isn’t responsible for his shit handling of COVID?

“A lot of people” also think shoving horse dewormer up their butts would kill a virus.
Covid was a “novel virus”, by definition was something never seen before. Of course the WHO and other health experts got things wrong at first, they had only trial and error to rely on until they figured out the “rules” this new disease played by.

“A lot of people”
Please stop playing devils advocate and talk about what YOU think, not what you think others think.

I feel as though that if COVID-19 would have not happened, Trump would have gotten re-elected.

That’s probably why he wants to pull out of it.
I think he’d just rather not have the money he plans to steal for himself and his billionaire buddies going anywhere he can’t get to. Not like it’d be the first time he took money from a helpful organization to use on himself, after all.

In a number of ways, it seems the POTUS-elect flies in the face of Hanlon’s razor.
That’s because a lot of what he does is him actually trying to be malicious. He just also happens to be supremely incompetent on top of it all.

“PizzaGate” was a conspiracy back in 2016 where shortly after Trump’s win at the election, a popular Far-Right account got a hold of leaked emails from one of Hillary Clinton’s staff members talking about having a party at a pizza restaurant called Comet Pizza.
They then tried to say that this was not them ordering lunch, but instead “reports” from police that this was actually a front for a human trafficking/child sex slave operation, and them placing orders was actually them using coded language to buy slaves (its why you see so many people refer to child porn as “cheese pizza” after this incident).
Despite it being obvious BS, the MAGA/Far-Right crowd ate it up and resulted in the owners and staff facing constant harassment and death threats. Eventually it escalated to the point where a whackjob burst into the place with a gun and threatened to shoot the employees to “save” the kids.
PizzaGate was basically the first example showing how stupid/batshit insane the MAGA crowd is, and how scarily seriously they take these conspiracies.

(its why you see so many people refer to child porn as “cheese pizza” after this incident)
Cheese Pizza was already a common “coded phrase” people used to say “Child Porn” well before that, almost always in jest given people into that shit tend to either not talk about it or be absurdly blunt.
Also, during this time there was also a craze of people going through online stores (like etsy) trying to find coded terms for “kids for sale”. I recall one big one was people searching for vanities and closets and going “Aha, ‘1920s vintage oak vanity with cherry finish and three drawers’ actually means ‘12yo, white, female, red head, used up’” and other insane shit.

The “event” probably pushed the term from 4chan and related forum culture out into the greater internet. Like way too many things, something that started as a pretty obvious shitpost/joke on one of the boards leaked out onto facebook and other “normie” places, bouncing around until it hit the really unwell folks.

Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people who really pushed that at the national level, along with Alex Jones-style accusations that mass shootings at schools in the US were publicity stunts including publicly harassing survivors of mass shootings.
Which is one of the reasons I look forward to Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene making good on her recent threat:
She hasn’t made any public statements about the report being released yet, but the latest things she has said shows she was still 100% behind her bestest buddy, and to me I can’t think of a better face-eating leopard to eat some faces.
Although I suspect some of her accusations are just going to be that some of the girls in congress also kiss girls, or ever had a pregnancy that didn’t result in a pure blooded white boy child, and stuff like that.
Hopefully she’ll find time for her vengeance on her own party, between her essential legislative work including canonizing Derek Chauvin and declaring war on Panama.

As mentioned “Pizza Gate” refers to a conspiracy about child sex trafficking in the basement of a random pizza joint by the Democrats.
“PizzaGaetz” however refers to Matt Gaetz having sex with underage women, particularly after a photo of him with a bunch of teen girls in a pizza place of all things was found.
And now Trump is saying he wants to annex Greenland, using the same language Russia did to justify invading Ukraine.

Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said Trump tweaking friendly countries harkens back to an aggressive style he used during his days in business.
“You ask something unreasonable and it’s more likely you can get something less unreasonable,” said Farnsworth, who is also author of the book “Presidential Communication and Character.”
“Canada is not going to become part of the United States, but Trump’s comments are more about leveraging what he says to get concessions from Canada by putting Canada off balance, particularly given the precarious current political environment in Canada,” Farnsworth said. “Maybe claim a win on trade concessions, a tighter border or other things.”
He said the situation is similar with Greenland, with Trump ultimately looking for concessions from Norway.
“What Trump wants is a win and even if the American flag doesn’t raise over Greenland,” Farnsworth said. “Europeans may be more willing to say yes to something else because of the pressure.”
Now, considering the problems Trudeau is going through, I think Trump may get both trade concessions & a tighter border.
Not sure what concessions Trump wants from Norway, though.
