Cuomo, de Blasio, and New York City Owe Trump an Apology
American Thinker.com ^ | April 23, 2020 | Rabbi Aryeh Spero

Posted on 04/23/2020 5:36:26 AM PDT by Kaslin

Many Americans have witnessed daily briefings in which New York State's governor, Andrew Cuomo, makes repeated demands of the President and exploits his moment in the sun by condemning the President and even maligning him. Instead of constantly complaining, it's about time Cuomo apologized to President Trump and to those Americans across the country who specifically helped NYC during her time of need. It is not President Trump who has fallen short in doing his job, rather governor Cuomo and his side-kick Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City.

Three weeks ago Cuomo was demanding ventilators, masks, gowns, and hospital beds. He made no demands of himself, rather of the President. But now many are asking why the governor had not spent his many years in office accumulating the supplies needed for the emergencies and epidemics that surely transpire. In President Trump's desire to help the country and specifically the state where he was born and raised, Mr. Trump did not haggle over the question of whose responsibility it is to take care of state needs, but instead dove headlong to supply what New York needed. While Cuomo spent his days grandstanding and pontificating, and alternating his made-for-TV attire between informal leather jackets one day, blazers the next, presidential suits, and then sweaters, Mr. Trump was marshaling and corralling every force in this country and around the globe to provide the needs of New York state. Cuomo always looks well rested while Mr. Trump, the heroic workhorse, looks exhausted. We now know why: one is playing soap-opera governor while the other is a minute-by-minute, indefatigable President.

DeBlasio is looking for a Handout, saying that Trump is just like POTUS Ford, using the Headline from back then “Ford to City, Drop Dead”.

Of course POTUS Ford never said that, but we all know Headlines never Lie.

The difference between President Trump and Cuomo/DeBlasio, is that, Trump works for the American people/aka:the country, whereas, Cuomo & DeBlahsio work for the democratic party and themselves personally.

Article states.....”It is not President Trump who has fallen short in doing his job, rather governor Cuomo and his side-kick Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City”.......

Both refused to take measures early on because they use emergencies to generate federal funds into their bankrupt coffers....it's how they role.

.....remember that, as late as March 13 –
six full weeks after our leader, Pres Trump banned all travel into the US from China, weeks after Trump expanded his order
to include other countries and took decisive heroic measures to mitigate and fight the virus to protect Americans –
this monstrous jackass Mayor De Blobbio was urging the people of his city to just go about living their normal lives.

To this day, he still has not shut down the city’s subways and buses, which are just petri dishes for spreading this virus.


THE TERM-LIMITED-FAILED PREZ CANDIDATE DEBLOBBIO’s GOING NOWHERE.
DEBLOB DESPERATELY NEEDS THE VIRUS TO HANG ONTO HIS POWER
(AND TO ADVANCE HIS CORRUPT WIFE’S INANE POLITICAL AMBITIONS).

<><>De Blasio and NYC Officials continually downplayed COVID-19 Threat as the death rate skyrocketed.

<><> After Trump Restricted Travel to China, de Blasio and his top health official were actually telling NY’ers take the subway and attend parades months after President Donald Trump restricted travel to coronavirus-plagued China.

<><> “Here’s reality: This is a war-like situation,” de Blasio said in a March 14 interview with MSNBC’s Joy Reid. “We’re in a wartime scenario with a Mar-a-Lago attitude being used by the federal government,” he added, denigrating the heroic president, referencing Trump’s resort in Florida.

<><> DeBLASIO SUCKED UP BIGTIME. “I want to be clear, this is about a virus, not a group of people. There is NO excuse for anyone to discriminate or stigmatize people of Asian heritage. We are here today to urge all New Yorkers to continue to live their lives as usual,” she said. As we gear up to celebrate the #LunarNewYear in NYC, I want to assure New Yorkers that there is no reason for anyone to change their holiday plans, avoid the subway, or certain parts of the city because of #coronavirus.

<><> The Mayor’s sophmoric Health Commissioner, a latina doctor, argued in a local TV interview on Feb. 7 that the city is “telling New Yorkers, go about your lives, take the subway, go out, enjoy life.” She did say that citizens must practice good hygiene, but suggested the biggest threat comes from family members and not large packs of people. “And so we know that this virus can be transmitted from one individual to another, but that it’s typically people who live together,” she


Tempus fugit, and soon de Blasio seemed to reluctantly acknowledge the virus had spread beyond control.
<><> “You have to assume it could be anywhere in the city,” he said.
<><> Always careful to preserve his political bona fides, the Mayor did not want to cause undue alarm,
<><> Rev de Blasio then told NY’ers to go on with their normal lives, which left many confused about the danger they faced.
<><> De Blobbio’s hand-plucked DODOBIRD health commissioner, sought to reassure NY’ers, especially commuters:
<><> “this is not something you’re going to contract in the subway or on the bus, the moron H/C actually said.”
<><> The mayor sucked-up bigtime, and reiterated her lunacy point several times in early March.

You are right!!! BOTH DeBlasio and Cuomo are absolutely contemptible.
I am quite worried that my contempt may tragically shift tot he PEOPLE of NewYork when they RE-ELECT these two blithering idiots to offfice at the next election.
Across the United States, EVERY last politician screwing up his “fiefdom” was put into that office by the voters.
By rights, this next election should be a massacre to dwarf the Little Big Horn.

New York was lucky that they had a President who is from New York. No other Republican President would have put up with their crap.

Would've been great if the President's answer to Cuomo had been: "Lack of planning on your part doesn't necessarily constitute an emergency on our part".

Question for the mayor and govenor...Why are the subways, bus lines and trains still open? And are non essential state/ city employees still drawing a paycheck?

DeBlasio and Cuomo both know as soon as the city opens a caravan of moving trucks will flood the city because so many have fled with no intention of returning.the NY real estate market will be at bargain basement prices in a few months.

The President as executive in charge daily displays his covid task force that are all utilizing their personal expertise to accomplish the delegated tasks. That group to which responsibility was delegated is led by VP Pence who has the job under firm control

The governor and the mayor can’t delegate because all those about them are talentless political hacks. Neither the Governor nor the hacks knows or understands what testing facilities and laboratories are available. The hacks basically know nothing and just can’t act

That knowledge is so far down the hack chain it is in fact unknown.
