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.”
On substance, Cuomo said he doubted the legality of Trump’s five-page memo ordering a review of federal funds that can be redirected from New York City, Portland, Seattle and Washington, DC.
“It is more of the same from him. It’s political, it is gratuitous. And it’s illegal. But it is another attempt to kill New York City,” Cuomo said.
“President Ford said drop dead. President Trump has been actively trying to kill New York City since he’s been elected,” he said.
In highly personal and insulting language, Cuomo speculated that Trump wasn’t upset about New York’s soaring murder rate and shootings.
“I think it’s because he is from New York City and New York City rejected him, always,” Cuomo said. “He was dismissed as a clown in New York City, those who know him best, like him least.”

That sounds like an implied threat.
Does he not know that the United States actually does have an Army?
GO!
“Cuomo speculated that Trump wasn’t upset about New York’s soaring murder rate and shootings.”
Says the man responsible for more deaths in New York than 9/11 a few times over.
Well, he kinda DO doe. An Army, a Navy, a Marine Corps, an Air Force...he’ll, this president has a space force!
The governor of New York has threatened the President. Where is the U.S. Secret Service to arrest Cuomo and prosecute him under federal law for a credible threat to harm the President? You can’t threaten the President not to come to New York, you idiot, Cuomo ! Put this criminal governor behind bars in a federal prison where he belongs !
Arrest him for inciting and encouraging violence.
At this point it would be wise for Mario’s son to shut up.
I have a strong feeling, considering what Andy did to old people, that President Trump is far more popular in NYC than he is.
Lefties have NO foresight. I’ve said this a million times.
Hey Asshat Cuomo, Trump has an Army. And a Navy. And a Marine Corps and Air Force. And he is the CINC for all of them.
Asshat Cuomo, in a fair world, would be facing 11,000+ first degree murder charges for the senior citizens he slaughtered. And given the full Mussolini from a lamppost on 5th Ave.
Is he seceding? I’d say, walk on down to the Trump Tower, ride the Staten Island Ferry, see Liberty Island, Ellis Island, Ward’s Island, the Empire State Building, and then catch a concert at Carnegie Hall. Then visit the guverner and give him a good bitch slapping.
...but everyone left.
“That sounds like an implied threat.”
Nothing implied about it. It’s a blatant, direct threat. From a governor to our President. Civil order is in total meltdown.
Wait ‘til he hears who’s the Commander in Chief.
These people are all violent.
And give him one bitch-slap for each nursing home resident.
My God. It seems each day brings us closer to civil war.
“President Trump has been actively trying to kill New York City since he’s been elected,” he said.
Leave killing NYC to the Cuomo crime family. We’re doing a great job.
And the Democraps say that President Trump incites violence. The governor needs to be arrested and thrown in with the Mayor their Antifa buddies.
