president donald trump has threatened to freeze funding to the world health organization and his daily white house briefing criticized the w.h.o. his handling of the crisis saying the u.n. body was china centric they called it wrong they call it wrong they really they missed a call they could have called it months earlier they would have known. and they should have known and they probably did so we'll be looking into that very carefully and we're going to put a hold on money spent to the w h o we're going to put a very powerful hold on it and we're going to see it's a great thing if it works but when they call every shot wrong that's of. course when all of a salad is following developments for us in washington all of a president trump and his coronavirus task force have given their daily briefing what were the highlights. well tell me you just mentioned the president.

be a great thing for a country and while soaring death tolls in the united states speak another language on twitter trump is bragging about his t.v. ratings with more than 8000000 viewers tuning in every day there's one thing president trump doesn't have to worry about and that is his media presence while joe biden has almost disappeared from american t.v. screens president trump simply turned his daily carona briefings into campaign rallies and reality former obama campaign adviser spencer critchley says the corona pandemic is doing more harm to the president than to democratic hopeful joe biden one of the things i would point to is the famous quote from napoleon bonaparte never interfere with your enemy when he's in the process of destroying him so that might sound a little bit calculating but in political terms president trump is doing a great deal of damage to his own reputation service members while president trump supporters still stand by his side the projected number of casualties could become
