Guessing when he saw the headlines about China taking over influence in that area, it probably changed his mind.

Or fear of another pandemic striking his presidency.

Why? There’s only a possible Bird Flu pandemic on the horizon…he handled the last one so well…what’s the concern?

Fear of being alone if the bird flu leads to a pandemic...plus I believe the negative flak this has gotten could be overcoming his typical abhorrance of admitting he's wrong.

The last thing, however, is for him to get kudos for undoing a shitty crapass move he should have never done in the first place.

He’s such an idiot. He has no idea what he’s doing. It’s all about looking tough and giving breaks to billionaires. He couldn’t give a flying fuck about America or everyday Americans.

"It was one of my best ideas. People came up to me with tears in their eyes and said SIR, who's even in the who? Who even cares about who? And I thought that's one of the best ideas is to leave the who. So I floated the idea around in my covfefe while eating hamburders... these hamburders are from a diner called McDonald's, really some of the best fries. Did you know I worked there? It was one of the busiest days for McDonald's. Lines for miles. Those gas cars, just chug chug chugging away sitting in line for some fries and hamburders, it's really some beautiful stuff. Those electric cars really don't use gas do they? No they don't. So we've decided to write up some of the best legislation, really some of the best it even has my signature on it. Someone said Leon Musk wasn't thrilled about it and I said WHO? Then I thought we really should maybe consider staying in the WHO. We can supply some scientists and they can pay us, so it might be a good idea to get back into the WHO. We won't get fooled again"

Smartest decision of his presidency if he goes through with it.

Same as with TikTok. He drove the car that banned it, then reversed the decision to make it look like he saved it.

Finally realised you can't influence an organisation like the WHO if you are not a part of it.

Outside the WHO you become irrelevant.

Yeah, seeing as it was a stupid ass decision I could see why someone would want to revisit it.

He had no idea what was in most of those executive orders he signed. He just thought he looked cool doing it.

The problem with that is, his maga-ites will think he got us to join and now he really does become the greatest of all time president.

He thinks it’s the art of the deal. Threaten to leave. Then open up the possibility of not leaving if you give him concessions
