Trump does, and he should
From the New York Post:
Gov. Cuomo says: Trump ‘better have an army’ to protect him if he comes to NYC
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.”
Trump does have an army, it is the United States Army because he is the commander in chief.
More importantly, this sounds like Cuomo is threatening insurrection. Seriously, under what authority does the governor of a state tell the President of the United States that he can’t come to the state without facing a threat of violence?
Had some Red state said that to Obama, the Democrats would have called for Obama to invade that state with the military and have the governor shot for treason.
Cuomo got a taste of real power, not just New York power, but national power, from the COVID, and wants to throw his weight around and bully Trump.
So, in fact, I’m fine with Trump going to NYC and having a parade down 5th Avenue, accompanied by the 10th Mountain Division, just to show how much the President beats a governor in political dick measuring.
More and more, the Cuomo brothers show who they really are, the entitled sons of a former governor who think more like mafia bosses than politicians and journalists.
