Cuomo 2024?

Huh? King County’s response to the house of death in Kirkland was abysmal. Response was too slow and inadequate. Stop blaming Trump and take responsibility for your failures.

DefenseProductionAct

Let’s alll call him President Cuomo from now on.

It’s called accountability. State and local officials are not accountable to their citizens. We don’t live in a republic. They are all federalists.

Sounds like the Governor was caught flat footed, when you can't handle State affairs, just blame the Federal Government.

So how do we put Cuomo in charge of the federal response to Caronavirus and lock trump in a closet somewhere in Mar-a-Lago?

I would say Gov Newsom got there first...

Governors are doing a better job then the federal government under Trump. There is no “leadership” from Washington.

Is it true that as NY was bidding on ventilators the Federal gov. Was out bidding them? If is we need to know about it.

When the federal government said pray I understood that they couldn't do anything for anybody so here we are.

That's how it is when you lower the bar on being qualified to be president. The bar has been lowered so much even Daffy Donald Trump thinks he knows how to be POTUS.

They have been working together great- don’t spread that false narrative.

The state & local leaders with much of the private sector have provided hope and solutions. Watch Gov Cuomo 's daily update for facts & truth plus respectful answers for the press

This clown has completely ruined the state of NY. Get f'n real.

realDonaldTrump this is all you, bro. All. You.

FakeNewsCrap

It's not federal incompetence, its deliberate.

Trump has done a great job. Say what you want AMERICANS know the truth.

Kelisia Pay no attention to the clown behind the curtain in DC. Listen to the state and local leaders who are tackling this war on the ground. For those of us out here, we put our faith in our leader in Washington Olympia, WA that is.

Is this the moment when states begin to contemplate seceding from the USA.

Stop garbage reporting

Like politicize the crisis.

The President is doing his best

Go Gov. Cuomo👍🤗🌺!

There aren't enough two tooth Tilley's & beer belly Jrs in this country to stop the blue wave that is gonna hit in November.

From what I hear, Trump told his administration, that help should only go to Republican states, then if there anything left over they can go to other states.

The federal government will not help WA. State bc our AG has defeated this administration in court every time we have filed a lawsuit blocking his unconstitutional policies.trumpnotwinning

I'd say Trump is doing it on purpose to inflict harm on his political enemies. He IS capable of it.

I BEG of you..we have lost 1/3 of income due to SSD to a veteran that served 8 years, and after ,9 years, Social Security says he can work..on a production line, with minimal contact, but will need frequent breaks.. In the real world, who will do that? Let's address it!

What is it going to take for you to do something. You are ALL responsible. Stop pointing fingers. Work together. Show America what we are made of & not what we are seeing. Please Take action! PPENow gop POTUS WhiteHouse TheDemocrats SenateGOP HouseDemocrats

I’m glad for those states and cities with decisive leaders. Some states (like my home state) have leaders that act only in half-steps, which will only draw out (and maybe worsen) the harm.

When you have a leader who is not responsible and greedy who's only think of himself and his family, what would you expect from that kind of a leader

Just FYI, if your referring to Brooklyn, it’s Kings County, not King.

Newsome is leading. Thankfully.

If Dow Constantine says it, it must be true

Incapable or unwilling?

A State-by-State Guide to Coronavirus LockdownsState lockdown measures imposed across the U.S. vary in the scope and severity of the limits on where people can travel, work and shop away from their homes. Here are highlights of the orders in the largest states. Dumb. Need lock downs in Georgia but Gov Kemp is too busy appealing to the constituents to do ANYTHING. Our numbers are high even though test are barely available. Hospitals are stretched & we will soon be Italy. PLEASE POTUS do something to get our gov to mandate closures.
