The news media will have serious discussions about how "morbid" is not the proper term because Trump is no more than severely obese.

Taft peaked at about 350 pounds, so probably not yet, though Taft also actively worked to lose weight after he left the White House.

When he took office they literally lied about his height/weight to put him juuuuuuust under the obese line on a BMI chart. He allegedly was like 2" taller than me and the exact same weight. Like gently caress.

the american officer that was a liason to KMT china (what became Taiwan) described them as fascism without the efficiency. The KMT is still the dominant political party and they have the largest wealth fund of any political party taking population into account. They own the banks, radio stations etc there. Imagine fox news but instead of merely working to support right wing causes was directly controlled by the republican party

They didn't even have elections until 91 iirc. It really is an example of the failure of american foreign policy where we find someone we don't like and then support their enemy no matter how loving awful that entity is.

Also when they fled china to the island they massacred a shitload of the locals

Trump sent a letter to the head of the WHO threatening to cut all US funding to the organization and leave it over WHO being too close to China. Because nothing says “principled global leadership” better than threatening the body that allows for sharing of information and coordinating a global response.

Goddamn I hate this year and what the US has become.

Update to the carrier re-positives and other re-positives:

https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1262687204687712256?s=19

The South Koreans are saying that the re-test positives are from the PCR test being unable to distinguish between people shedding live virus or dead virus. They took positive re-testers, grabbed the virus they were shedding, then couldn't actively grow it in the lab.

The South Korean CDC is basically saying you get sick, complete your isolation period, and get better, then you're good to go. Considering how insanely cautious the South Koreans have been in this whole thing, they're probably right.

So you're saying that American foreign policy got them to democracy only 3 decades and counting before the mainland. I suppose there is the shining example of the PRC resolving the issue with all those reactionary, rightist students a couple years before...

When the prez first announced they were halting funding to WHO there was a bit of noise back then about how he technically can't control the funding to them (because it was funded through congress? not sure?).

Did that ever get explained or resolved? Is this even something he can do?


loving over WHO further just punishes people outside of the USA for the mistakes we've already made.

This has gone on long enough that it sounds like he's just holding on to it and yelling because he can and noone is going to say anything to him about it.

Also, this typically means there is deeper grift he's trying to distract from.

This is one of those cases where Trump stumbled into a correct idea...then takes a terrible response to it.

The WHO is undoubtedly overinfluenced by China. The WHO let Chinese Traditional Medicine into doctrine even though the whole thing is bunk. Even the Chinese know it's bunk. But by God it's theirs!

That almost definitely extends into this crisis. But the answer is to unify non-Chinese members to hit back on dumb nonsense getting in. Not to back out and give China even MORE control of an incredibly important international organization.
