USA Today reports Trump has Officially Begun to Withdraw the US From the World Health Organization as Pandemic Spikes:
The Trump administration has officially begun to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grip the globe and infections spike in many states across the U.S.
Congress received formal notification of the decision on Tuesday, more than a month after President Donald Trump announced his intention to end the U.S. relationship with the WHO and blasted the multilateral institution as a tool of China. The White House said the withdrawal would take effect on July 6, 2021.
[...] The formal withdrawal comes as the United States nears 3 million reported coronavirus cases and more than 130,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Globally, there have been 11.6 million cases and almost 540,000 deaths.

I don't really have much trust in the MSM these days. I've followed the trail through those sorts of articles before, and still never found a link to any actual Trump tweets. It's a citation circle where everyone agrees there are racist tweets because everyone says he is a racist tweeter.
I was sincere in wanting to read the alleged stream of racist tweets. Deathmonkey [soylentnews.org] finally provided a link to a tweet triplet where he tells three non-white senators to go back to their own countries if they don't like what he is doing. A single example is hardly a stream, but it looks like that's it for racist tweets.
The actual text from Trump:
Not really that extreme for political rhetoric, and while racist it is targeted at three political opponents not at a race in general.

How is that racist? He didn't say they were less capable because they were of foreign origin.
