Just to highlight it, I will again post the response I made to you yourself yesterday and to others this morning who incorrectly implied that Biden was a hypocrite because of the video so people can again see that you are choosing to ignore it and not reply to it, and instead are continuing to ask the same questions even though you have already got your response.

Nothing hypocritical about what he said if you know what he's talking about. And you clearly don't.

The overwhelming majority of democrats do not want nor did they ever want a 100% open border and they also largely support stopping illegal immigration. They have voted repeatedly to build border fences to cut off high-traffic areas, which is what Biden is talking about in that video.

What they do not support is spending billions on a wall spanning the entire border. That is putting a large, expensive bandage on the problem rather than trying to fix the source of the problem. Biden's point in this video is that fencing can help prevent trafficking, but illegal immigration will only end once inequality is solved in Mexico.

That's the kind of statement I like to hear from a president.

But you can continue to take things out of context and believe what you like, at least you've found a new poster that you can spam thank.

As a fan of Trump I'm kind of enjoying Biden's presidency so far. He seems decent and hardworking and he has a message I can get behind (healing). Only thing I don't like is that he is rejoining the WHO and he should be more receptive to the Iranians.

Can I ask why you don't think American should rejoin the WHO?

Rejoining symbolises America's commitment to cooperate with other countries on the matter of health crises which, as we've seen the this pandemic, can be a global problem. It's beneficial for everyone to have a structure through which each country can communicate and cooperate with each other.

Also, if you don't like the way WHO is operating, then America would at least have a seat on the board to change how it operates.

Despite having large political differences, much larger than the current differences between USA and China mind you, Smallpox was eradicated because the US and the Soviet Union worked together, and this was partly done through the WHO. It's very unlikely that those two nations would have worked together to successfully eradicate Smallpox during the height of the Cold War if the WHO did not exist.

Yes, the director-general of the WHO has probably been nicer than both you and I would like him to be to China. That, however, is necessary for the greater good. We need China to cooperate with international disease control efforts now just like we needed the Soviet Union to do likewise in the past. And sometimes the only way of doing that is to play nice.
