President Trump played a clip of New york city Gov. Andrew Cuomo applauding his administration throughout a rundown from the White Home coronavirus task force on Sunday.
In the 2-minute clip from Cuomo’s own instruction on the infection earlier Sunday, the governor stated that the federal government had “stepped up and was a terrific partner” to the Empire state.
” These were simply amazing efforts and acts of mobilization,” Cuomo said, describing the Navy-built healthcare facility at the Javits Center and the USNS Convenience.
After the footage played, Trump stated the clip had actually left out “the great part”– apparently more compliments from Cuomo.
” I simply believe it’s so good since it’s bipartisan,” the president stated.
He then played another clip of Cuomo saying that none of the victims of the virus in New York have actually passed away due to a lack of health center area or ventilators.
” I believe it’s a homage to New york city, I believe it’s a homage to the federal government,” Trump stated.
There was no reference in the clip of Cuomo getting in touch with the federal government to come through with a money infusion to assist the state post-coronavirus.
” If you do not assist the state federal government and city government, then how are we expected to have the finances to re-open?” asked the governor previously on Sunday.
” If you starve state and local government, all that implies is we need to turn around and lower moneying to individuals who we are funding.”
Asked by a CNN reporter why he was taking some time throughout the rundowns to discuss praise he had actually gotten, Trump said he was “standing up for the men and women who have actually done such an amazing task,” not for himself.
” It’s not about me. Absolutely nothing has to do with me,” he stated. “You are never ever going to treat me fairly, much of you, and I comprehend that.”
