New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged President Donald Trump on Wednesday to sign a national face mask mandate to help contain the fast-spreading coronavirus that's ripping through the sun belt right now.

"As incredible as that is, you can sign a piece of paper that will save the life of 40,000 Americans. Why wouldn't you want to do that?" Cuomo said

Cuomo the nursing home Grim Reaper comes up with some dumb ideas
Trump has no more power to dictate the actions of average Americans than Cuomo does. Each is only in charge of their executive branch, not us.
Great idea governor Cuomo - let’s mandate that a farmer in Vermont (where there are almost no cases) has to wear the same mask as a staff member at a Brooklyn old-folks home that you’ve just forced to admit a dozen CoVid-19 patients.
Centralized planning always saves lives! Just ask anyone who survived living in East Germany.
Trump better not cave in to this tyranny. I am BEYOND sick of this
You see, Mr. President, it’s never enough.
You give them an inch and they demand twelve more.
You take a step in their direction and they’ll complain
that you didn’t do it soon enough, or firmly enough, or
with enough sincerity.
This turkey is overcooked... What blight on the human race. Nursing home serial killer has NO shame... How about them apples pappy Francis?
Why is this guy stuck on 40,000? 40,000 ventilators, 40,000 lives... This guy is just guessing as usual.
Cuomo has no place whatsoever to dictate to anyone about covid or anything surrounding it......he’s scum and proven so time and again.
He and his brother need to just go away.
If Trump mandates masks, I won’t be voting in november. It is that simple. Call it my “red line in the sand”.
But I don’t expect it to happen.
In the states where governors wrote mask orders it hasn't been enforced on individuals, it's been left to the businesses to worry about.
Doing it at the federal level is just silly.
How about an EO that bans Cuomo?
No, you communist a-hole.
I’m tired of leftist demands.
So if I live in a rural county with less than 10 people per square mile, I have to wear a face mask when I go across the street to open my mail box?
Is this what Cooomo is proposing?
The President, be he Trump or any other president, has no authority to order local and state law enforcement to enforce anything, nor can a present “make a new law” by executive order. Executive orders can only be used to provide clarification on existing laws or to direct operations in the executive branch.
Andrew Cuomo can mandate masks himself why the hell does he need to drag Trump into it??? GRANNY & GRANDPA KILLER!!!
Also, didn’t a bunch of Governors say that he had NO authority to come in and run the states, and he had to leave it up to each Governor?
And didn’t this guy threaten a “war” when Trump talked about quarantining NYC, even after it was know that New Yorkers were spreading the virus across the country as they left the city?
But NOW they want him to unilaterally just make a broad based decree?
These people are the worst folks on the planet.
