This will get a few of you excited no doubt.
He's right you know though.. what have WHO done to protect us, right now we need them more than ever, anyone care to recite any clear messages from them?
Did WHO really vote against restricting Flights from China?
US President Donald Trump has ordered that his country's payments to the World Health Organisation be halted.
Mr Trump said that the global health body had "failed in its basic duty and it must be held accountable" for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
He blamed the group for promoting China's "disinformation" about the virus in the days following the initial outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
The virus - which has infected almost two million people worldwide - could have been contained at its source if the WHO had been better at investigating the initial reports that came from China, Mr Trump said.
But he added that the US will continue to engage with the organisation to pursue what he described as meaningful reforms.

The US is one of the World Health Organisation's biggest financial backers. In February, Mr Trump's administration had called for America's contribution to be slashed from $122.6m (£99.5m) to $57.9m (£47m).
