New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday all but threatened President Trump’s safety if he returns to New York City in a rant responding to an exclusive story by The Post that Trump is looking to pull federal funds from “lawless” cities including New York.
Cuomo called an emergency press briefing within a half hour on Wednesday night to tear into Trump for the order, which cites New York’s rising murder rate and defunding of the NYPD.
“He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don’t want to have anything to do with him,” the Democrat said, all but threatening the commander in chief.
But Cuomo, who like Trump hails from Queens, wasn’t done. “He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City, people don’t want to have anything to do with him.”
On substance, Cuomo said he doubted the legality of Trump’s five-page memo ordering a review of federal funds that can be redirected from New York City, Portland, Seattle and Washington, DC.
“It is more of the same from him. It’s political, it is gratuitous. And it’s illegal. But it is another attempt to kill New York City,” Cuomo said.
“President Ford said drop dead. President Trump has been actively trying to kill New York City since he’s been elected,” he said.
In highly personal and insulting language, Cuomo speculated that Trump wasn’t upset about New York’s soaring murder rate and shootings.

He has one, Scummo
Sounds like a threat against the President of the United States.
What if NY State goes for Trump on Nov. 3?
Taking flak....over target.
Why would President Trump want to go to that Sh!t hole?
He’s got us Komo.
He does!
Challenge accepted.
Wow. What in the hell is this guy thinking? Did he just threaten the President?
I’m gonna fight ‘em all
A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back
I'm pretty sure that many in the NYPD would volunteer to be part of that Trump Army, unpaid!
ML/NJ
He needs to be arrested for inciting harm to the President of the United States of America. Such evil evil evil evil democrats . . . this is not about democrats vs. Republicans, it is about the forces of evil vs. good. We know who ultimately wins but we have been warned by Jesus that we WILL endure trying times.
President Trump has actively sought to punish NYC since day one.
He let COVID ambush New York.
He refuses to provide funds that states and cities MUST receive to recover.
He is not a king. He cannot "defund" NYC.
It's an illegal stunt.— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) September 2, 2020
WTF?!
Have you lost so much control of your state Cuomo that you can’t even guarantee the safety of the President?!
You can’t even protect your own citizens who are YOUR BOSSES you sniveling twit.
The Democrat party is nothing more than a bunch of treasonous totalitarians and MUST BE DESTROYED.
The Hudson River could use a HUGE Trump Flotilla
Hey, Sonny! Calm down.
Definitely a threat. The Secret Service needs to pay him a visit.
