NY Gov. Cuomo Says 'I Am Not Engaging The President In Politics’ | MSNBC
Trump is a complete failure. He wants to play political contests games while Americans are dying.
Whistleblower – In the midst of the Ebola outbreak in October 2014, Cuomo joked that health care workers who were under quarantine after returning from treating patients in Africa should take the time to read his memoir, “All Things Possible: Setbacks and Success in Politics and in Life.” “Twenty-one days, in your home, with your friends and your family, and you’ll be compensated,” he said. “Read a book, read my book. You don’t have to read my book, but stay home for 21 days.”
Bill Samuels, a liberal Cuomo critic, blasted the governor for his “cringe-inducing gaffes about Ebola patients reading his book while quarantined.”

Why should anyone predict # of deaths. NOBODY but God knows !!! Think Positive we will get thru this ! Trust Trump
@Jean Jones You have zero proof that God is real. Trump caused this by cutting the CDC IN 2017. Trusting Trump killed over 35,000 Americans.
@Le Chat read this
Trump cut the CDC response team https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C33&q=TRUMP+CUTTING+CDC&oq=Tru#d=gs_qabs&u=%23p%3D7ZVqf1G3K54J
Keep impressing me Cuomo, keep it up
This country needs more of THAT. We should ALL learn from his example! Credit where its due and leave all the political bs behind.
Ramrod Rymensnyder – Thank you!
Why are so many people moving out of NY state? A good governor?
Saucy Boi “taken out of context” that’s literally the only excuse trump supporters can come up with, it’s sad at this point.
Bovine One Same here. People don’t even want to engage in civil dialogue if you say you support Trump.
Did he act like serious situation in subsequent quote?
Cuomo having to pander to Trump says something about the abysmal state of the current president’s mind.
@Guinness
Take a look at some facts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnEAl4QEtjU
@Dave Schultz
It wasnt NSA it was NSC.
@Guinness Plus Obama admin set up the NSC Pandemic Task Force for exactly this senario! Trumps officials were fully briefed ( by law) but trump fired them! Then dismantled the task force. All for that teeney weeney hardon he has for Obama.
@Guinness Gee if I remember correctly I dont think NY had the money to buy equipment 5 years ago. We were still repairing Sandy
damages of 70 billion.
@Dave Schultz Nope the fed gives States MEDICAID $$ to run clinics & offices.
Medicare is all Federal Social Security Admin. Nothing to do with States.
You dont know how the system works & stop spreading stupid news.
Cuomo is a real leader. He takes responsibility for his actions and decisions, whereas Trump proudly proclaimed, “I take no responsibility at all” while a crisis of tremendous magnitude was beginning to unfold on his lousy watch.
@Bovine One TELL Trump THAT!
Bovine One Trump is the one making this about politics. We as citizens have every right to call him on his crap.
I don’t trust Cuomo. There is something nefarious going on in New York! Starting with that video made by the medical simulator “Dr.” about what was happening at the hospital in Queens. I have no doubt this is a real virus and people are passing away. At the same time we are being lied to in grotesque ways and it’s making me very angry.
@Jean Jones – I trust Cuomo over Trump. Also, keep in mind…cynicism ≠ wisdom. Follow the facts. New York is ground zero for the pandemic in the USA. And Cuomo is doing whatever he can for his people, including pointing out…NY is hit the hardest in the oncoming wave, and best to prioritize them…as the wave will continue on.
@Jean Jones BUT YOU TRUST LYING TRUMP ? #PITIFUL
“I’m a tanlger!” HAHA! I love Cuomo. I might not agree with all his beliefs, but as a politician, he’s top-notch. HE should be our president.
Propulsion Studios – Too bad nobody in the comments follow his lead.
Propulsion Studios your a Russian troll and a nazi.
John Marino He’s not supporting Trump, so no, no he isn’t.
@John Marino read again sheeple
GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO CHRISTOPHER CUOMO BROTHER’S ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!TELL IT LIKE IT IS!!THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A WAR!!🙄😳😷😷😷😷🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
@RICH DEILO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnEAl4QEtjU
RUMP KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS…. WORKING FOR GOOD FOR “ALL” CITIZENS IS BEYOND HIS MENTALITY..!
S EE – Why don’t you follow Cuomo’s lead and put petty political fighting aside for now?
TROLL
314 Amn – And what are you gonna do about that right now? Worry about Trump on November 3rd and focus on what’s important right now.
He seems to be the strongest Democratic candidate out there. Even though he is not running for president, If I was Biden or Bernie, I would ask him to be my VP candidate.
That’s a great idea. Why he didn’t consider running for President? I’m not American but I like him to be your next President. I can see a GREAT LEADER from him.
Make him President… He is the guy who can keep focus on work.
God Bless you Cuomo! True leadership is what America needs NOW!
This is the man you are calling “A Great Leader”???https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnEAl4QEtjU
He’s nothing but a lifer politican Hack who’s never had a private sector job in his life. 5 years ago the own doctor he appointed in 2015 right next to Dr. Zucker told him NY state and NYC were not ready for a Pandemic and that we did not have enough ventilators. He didn’t know what a ventilator was till last week LOL . He has ran NY state into the ground and we are number 1 in just about every category of worst. Leadership please spare me. 98 percent of the state has gotten nothing from this leader but higher taxes.
Chevyrulzz1 Do you have evidence for any of those accusations?
Le Chat You linked a Far Right, Pro-Trump Fascist channel as your “source.” 🙄
Meanwhile, in the real world:
https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/03/27/822998602/fact-check-n-y-governor-slams-trump-ventilator-claim-as-ignorant-and-uninformed
Yes its called the NY state web site .
Speak the truth. A persons true character is on display in a time of crisis.
Agree, but during good times, tRUMP was still a jerk.
Yes and he just signed an executive order to use the US Military to seize property from Americans on American soil.
@John Smith
I have been monitoring the Coronavirus Pandemic, so I missed this.
Kindly give me the reference .
Thanx + stay healthy + safe.

@John Smith
Thank you.
We will get thru our present crisis, + be wiser for it.
Trump does not like to hear others being praised for their actions when he knows his inaction has worsened the situation. Trump believes this is all about himself. A true narcissist in every sense of the word. He speaks of seeing dozens of dead bodies but he has no empathy for them or their families, he only sees an increasing rate of fatalities as bad for the stock market, his wealth and his re-election chances.
@lam dao Just heard a very depressing news, the Chinese community has donated a lot of medical supplies to the gov. , including many protective equipments, but when they arrived at hospital, they found doctors still use garbage bags for protection. After communicating with the doctor, the doctor told all colleagues he knew, did not receive new protective equipment from the gov.. He asked the donor to contact the staff he knew in the hospital and donate directly to hospital
Coumo is a narcissist tell that guy to shut up he thinks hes a general or something
There’s ABSOLUTELY NO WAY Democrats can keep from dividing this country, nor can they give president Trump credit for all he’s done, they just criticize President Trump. That’s NOT Unity, so shut up Cuomo
Well said comment I agree aswell!,📢📣👍👌
This comment aged well; right now a poll saying cuomo has insane approval ratings for handeling the crisis, and trump came out on fox saying “it was because of me that he has this approval”
A garbage of a leader
Remember how Trump has failed the biggest threat to our country in our lifetime in November.
Robin Z A measly $1,200 one-time pay out for workers. Some for healthcare and unemployment…
The rest is for bailing out mega corporations.
All of them both Dems and Republicans screwed us.
Canada is paying $2,000 ,a month. A MONTH.
This will take months to subside assuming that people cooperate with being on lockdown.
This is just an excuse to help themselves and their donors. Everyone else gets crumbs and after that,they are on their own.
@URFTBOUND4LIFE you should really read into it more, unemployment is getting a massive budget increase.
@URFTBOUND4LIFE the US is giving $3400 checks to familys of 4, and under unemployment they are giving $600 a week, thats $2400 A MONTH USD, Canada will be giving $1400 USD $2000 CAD. Do your research mate.
Deadshotchef It’s confirmed to be a one time payout.
@URFTBOUND4LIFE I can’t call it a failure on Trump’s part, when he’s trying to prevent people from dying. They aren’t done yet on the stimulus package. There’s already talk of another one. Keep in mind that the $1200 isn’t to replace income. And technically this isn’t bailing out companies. They are giving loans to companies, some mega corporations but also small companies and businesses, in order for them to continue paying their employees rather than laying them off. That allows people to keep health insurance, retirement accounts and prevents a salary drop. And, in addition to making sure that people kept their salaries, people who are laid off get 100 percent of their salary on unemployment. Everyone also gets $1200, In addition to keeping their regular income flowing. There’s also the fact, that if those large and small companies fold. Tens of thousands lose their jobs permanently. The stimulus package would have been better for the average person, if Democrats had not insisted on millions of dollars for an arts center, and other items that were not related to the coronavirus crisis. Democrats withheld aide for a week while they fought for those unrelated items. You can find fault with Trump. But, to be honest about everything that’s happening, you have to acknowledge that the Democrats are creating problems and distrust and are still playing some interns political games.
Cuomo can be next president..
Hey! Trump! Watch this…this is a real leader.
Bodhi Sattva I guess
I see you listen to what Gov. Cuomo Says……….
@mark Sharpe Hes one of the only ones in touch with reality…mostly.
@Bodhi Sattvayea hes ok……..
He’ll take your freedom
I could see cuomo in a textbook about leadership
Risky Girl – Except people aren’t listening to him. Just read the comments. All political bickering and partisan posturing.
New York is the epicenter…yes he did a great job haha
Funny his own self appointed Dr. for the NY state health task force told him 5 years ago that the state and NYC were not ready for a Pandemic and that there were not enough ventilators. But But he didn’t know what a ventilator was till last week LOL. If you would like to be number 1 in just about every category of worst than yes he’s your leader.

hello from Australia..the US people need to understand that the governor of NY is outstanding. send him here when his terms are over please.
I know the primary is almost over but can”t we trade Biden for Cuomo?
Let’s run a Presidential campaign for this November .. CANDO COUMO 2020 !!!
@JMC Media Cuomo likes NYS. We like him. He wont run for president this year. But there’s always 2024.
@Vote him Out.. Just wondering… are you already accepting Trump would be in the big House till 24 ? Coz if by some miracle that Biden wins he’ll be the Incumbent by 24 no ? So in that note CanDo COUMO has to wait till 28 yes ?
@JMC Media
Is that all you have to do?
It was about running for office. Anybody can run in any election year.
I wish!
“This is no time for politics but for partnerships.”👍👍👍👍👍
Please run for president we need you, America needs you.
