Cuomo Says Trump Is 'Clearly Spoiling for a Fight' With the States

Apr.14 -- President Donald Trump and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo publicly sparred over who has the authority to reopen the U.S. economy. Trump said in a tweet that he’s given Cuomo all the resources he’s asked for to combat the coronavirus. Cuomo said at a press briefing in Albany that Trump is "clearly spoiling for a fight" over the issue.

I can't believe the word tweet is so common when one of our government representatives is speaking to the people

If you don’t like the chain of command, quit. If the economy does not start improving, there are far worse things than covid 19 to come.

“This It not the time to play politics”

[danieltrout]

He said "this is about doing the right thing, not politics" so... what does that say for "politics" ?

[jmesbrnproductionsng]

son....when you hear a politician say” let’s not play politics”...that’s when you know things are BADDD

[mehlev]

Can we all just write him in please?? I refuse to vote for evil and senile.

I’m a little confused here. When trump refused to tell Florida governor what to do concerning stay at home orders for his state the media went nuts claiming he’s not using his executive powers. Now he’s saying the buck stops with him on when the economy will open and now they have an issue, which one is? You either want him to do something or you don’t.

What a shame, this is what we as a nation are reduced to. Not one politician can agree to disagree. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. God is in charge no politician.

The thing is, President Trump is out of his depth with crisis. So he is going to turn to the thing he does best, which is slinging mud and making rude comments.

[TheJaySilva]

Just the fact that Cuomo has a paper notebook in front of him is already a good sign. He takes the time to take notes from whatever meetings he is in. = I care enough for what other people’s input to take notes.

[jaybrielakoi]

Seriously do politicians have to fight about everything.

[captnfloyd]

Says he doesn't want a fight with the President and then goes on T.V. and does just that. N.Y. should close for business as long as they want but there are large portions of the country that could return to work with some basic sanitary policies in place.

Fake News this man Failed New York and the Media lies about it

[wanleigh]

President Cuomo, you’re the voice of reason during this time. Guide our United States, guide our Governors to what is safe for the people of these United States.Pres please unify us with the help of medical experts, Dr Fauci, care for the people. The economy an always rebuild, but humans are dying unnecessarily. Thank you, a human citizen of these United States 🇺🇸

This drama is better than Keeping up with the Kardashians. Never thought Id look forward to political drama with my bag of chips and peanuts. 🤣😅

Enough states agree with the President that it will force the rest to overcome their irrational fears and allow their people to get back to work. Else, they'll be left behind in the resurgent economy!

[dundunsar]

When he does not have a solution, he decentralizes. When he needs help, he centralizes.

[mcheartw]

Politicians are good at talking except for Trump. He actually did it. Very refreshing

[angryalanrants]

I went from liking this guy to severely disliking him in about 2 weeks.
Coumo SHUT UP. Say thank you and focus on your state. You're letting your true colors show.

[shellylyndsley]

I am greatly concerned that this virus has happened and it appears to me that our president seems to be mostly concerned with the economic standpoint rather than the safety of his country’s people. What’s worse is the amount of Americans supporting him. 😵
